In the case of having an Orchiectomy I think I'm echoing a lot of others who say the real thing is far more then a reduction in sex drive. And a lot of people even tho they may want that low to no sex drive don't enjoy the baggage that comes with it. I know I don't!
As usual, Mr. T, you are quite right. I have nasty hot flashes and other minor aches and pains, but the lack of a sex drive is what I wanted so I live with it.
It is sort of sad to hear someone of who so desired a voluntary orchiectomy, but now is trying replacement hormone therapy. One more good example of why orchiectomy is not for everyone.
If wishes were horses, even beggars would ride.
