i've been thinking hard about getting castrated for about three years now...have noticed this last 6 months or so that i'm sure my cock is shrinking - i've been struggling to get hard for about 10 years, used to take cialis, then relaised i didn't want it...does anyone know of guys whose bodies just decide to stop producing testosterone. my cock is still bigger than the folds of skin descibed but someitmes i wonder if i couldnt just puch it up inside my body...wishful thinking, i guess i'll still need kimmel's knife one day (or was thinking about approaching one of the thai sex change surgeons)
You may want to have yourself checked for hereditary hemochromatosis (iron overload disease) It affects, and eventually shuts down the testicles. You might think "great, I am being automatically converted into a eunuch", but the disease has other nasty effects if left unchecked: diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, heart troubles, failing joints. Treatment is very easy, the equivalent of a blood donation per week until levels return to normal, then routine blood lettings every 2-4 months for the rest of your life. Caught early and there are no effects on life expectancy.
If caught early enough the "castration" effect can be reversed, but once the disease completely kills off the testes, you remain a eunuch for the rest of your life. While it may be tempting to allow the disease to take its course, doing that may in fact kill you.
