How can you be open about being an eunuch?

[Lovey (imported)]

I'm not an eunuch. And I don't plan to be one.

Tell me, how can someone be open about being a eunuch?

I'd be so embarressed to tell anyone.

In fact, I'm ashamed to visit this website. It is sort of a guilty pleasure for me.

Au contraire, Lovey! I am PROUD to be a eunuch. (still not sure whether it's "a eunuch" or "an eunuch," but "a" is easier to say.

There are a lot of men who, for one reason or another, NEED to be castrated. Many of us never do the deed because (1) it is not easy to accomplish in our modern day culture, and/or (2) the male ego and the "need" to keep one's identity, i.e. testicles, is incredibly srong.

Take for example my son-in-law, who is the epitome of macho male bullcrap. He and my daughter have three beautiful children, and in their position that's all they can possibly afford, and all they want. So the subject of vasectomy came up. Would you believe that poor man made two different appointments, but failed to appear both times! He agreed that he didn't want more children, agreed that he needed to be sterile, but he couldn't bring himself to let anyone cut on the most precious possession he had: his family jewels.

It took a long talk from me, his eunuch father-in-law, who had been vasectomized almost 20 years before, to finally convince him that he would still be a man in every sense of the word, still have sex drive, still be able to get it up, etc, etc. Of course it didn't hurt when my daughter "cut him off" until he was no longer able to impregnate her.

My son-in-law regards me as his father, even though his father is still alive. He and I are best friends, I have taught him all the things his father should have but didn't: how to maintain his own car, how to build a shed, how to plant grass on the lawn, and on and on and on. To my surprise, when I was castrated in 1997, I got nothing but respect and admiration! He couldn't see himself ever doing it, which in his mind was all the more reason to admire me because I had seen what I had to do and did it.

And then there is my son. Kevin and I have been "best friends" since he was only 5 years old! That is an awesome responsibility. but one that feels incredibly good. My son knows things about me that no one else on the earth knows. My son is PROUD of me because, not in spite of, the fact that I am a eunuch. He knows why I had to do it, and he supports me one hundred percent!

Ashamed to be a eunuch? I don 't think so! I don't suggest for one moment that eunuchism is for everyone, but those of us who need it, NEED it! Once the alternatives are well thought out and executed, what on earth could there to be ashamed of?

...you say that...

How can you be open about being an eunuch?

IT'S SIMPLE! Picture yourself sitting on a nice bar stool, half plastered and enjoying life, and a "Playmate" like the one on this site comes and sits down next to you and strikes up a conversation...

You simply say to her, "GET LOST, BABY! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I'M A EUNUCH"

Lovey-

Embaressment is ok. Infact, a man who is embaressed about his impotence, or near impotence, is all the more alluring to women. While I do not consider myself a true eunuch, just medicated to near impotence, I found the outing process quite enlightning. The water is a bit cold at first, but warms quickly.

Shame, on the other had is not ok.

Because I am not ashamed of my condition, nor embarreased by it, or feel any need whatsover to apologize for it. Which is why I feel no qualms about my current avatar.

From webster.commnet.edu:

We use a before singular count-nouns that begin with consonants (a cow, a barn, a sheep); we use an before singular count-nouns that begin with vowels or vowel-like sounds (an apple, an urban blight, an open door). If you would like help with the distinction between count and non-count nouns, please refer to Count and Non-Count Nouns. Words that begin with an h sound often require an a (as in a horse, a history book, a hotel), but if an h-word begins with an actual vowel sound, use an an (as in an hour, an honor). We would say a useful device and a union matter because the u of those words actually sounds like yoo (as opposed, say, to the u of an ugly incident). We would say a once-in-a-lifetime experience or a one-time hero because the words once and one begin with a w sound (as if they were spelled wuntz and won).

And also correct.

Note that we say "a Yankee" instead of "an Yankee". The "Y" in this case is not a vowel sound. And that is the case with "eunuch". The "eu" is not a vowel sound.

Hi Lovey,

I am not ashamed at all about having been castrated, I just prefer to not have conflict, therefore, I don't tell anyone at work. I don't tell my family either, especially since I was my mom's only natural child and never had any children before my castration.

I tell nobody at work, and the way a transsexual was treated in my chicken plant seven years ago is part of the reason I keep quiet about it. She had SRS, and then reverted back to working as a male because of passing issues, but our management found discrepancies in her paperwork history and investigated not so quietly. Everyone harassed her, and the men would no longer let her use the mens room because it was known she had her penis and testicles removed, yet our management did not make provision for her to use a non-gendered bathroom (I know of two such bathrooms in our building).

In the autumn of 1999, about seven months after my castration, aa supervisor put me on a heavy lifting position that I had not bid for at all, and I kept getting in trouble because I had difficulty lifting the heavy objects. Still, I would not tell anyone I was castrated, and I still believe in retrospect that the supervisors would not have been more considerate if I had outed myself.

If they knew I was castrated, I might find myself unable to use either bathroom. If workplace already thinks I am a gay man, and I get hassled everyday for this, so I don't dare tell anyone there.

My workplace, family, and neighbors do not know about my castration, and I don't intend to tell any of them, yet I have not been totally silent about it. My friends in the PFLAG group know, and I have mentioned it to several women in the local NOW chapter. Basically, I've only told those who were already aware that I am transgendered.

Of course I am out on the internet. Thousands have visited my website, though most of my visitors were more or less interested in castration.

I'm not ashamed, just sensible.

Well, there's got to be a reason WHY you do it then.

I'm not saying 'get the hell outta off of the board then', but I'm just curious as to this remark.



And Bboy, thank you, Dr. Dictionary!
