much better off
I have been castrated almost 20 years now
I was fortunate to have a professional do it for me..it was a dvm instead of a md
did a excellent job i must say
my wife and I agree..my castration was the best for both of us..my doctors tell me i am extremely healthy for a 55 year old eunuch..the only thing that is a problem is i am vitamin D deficient...which is almost fixed by my test last week
this is a old thread
it does come up when elective orchiectomy is searched
its 2009 and elective orchiectomy has now become almost impossible to find a doctor to do
i had a list of urologists that i referred people to
i have watched that list get smaller as each year passes and the md;s retire and die
the sad thing is this week the list went to zero
i have called and met doctors trying to find new urologists to no avail
i dont know what those that need help in future will do
I have talked to many that suffer orchialgia..they can get no help anymore except to be put on opiates
I assume all that is left is to suffer.

I am much much better off without my infected orbs. TRT is needed mostly for energy. Other than that I wish I didn't have to slather on the gel or dispense a shot.
My one regret is when the hormones get "wonky" (usually too low) depression sets in really bad. And it is very hard for me to climb out of the depression hole.
I was actually happier hormonally when I was intact and taking Androcur which gave me the low T level and no depression. But having balls that don't hurt...... I'll take that any day.
On a side note yesterday I was talking to a neighbor and his dog came running towards me. I instinctively bent forward and put my hands across my groin (this dog is a leaper). The dogs front paws landed directly in my sac. I suddenly realized that I felt NOTHING. It was a great feeling and I smiled.
Next problem is the empty sac. In this heat it REALLY gums up the works!!

Much better. I wouldn't have them back even if I could.

We know, A-1.
Seeing as how you already went and reproduced, though...

I have no regrets on being castrated, It was the right thing for me and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks to the EA, I'm still a complete man and a very happy one.
There was a period in my life, I really wanted to be castrated. I saw this feeling growing from my early teens to some years ago, when I found the EA. It was a period in which testicular abuse went far, too far.
Fortunately some 'colleagues' in here had the same questions, and same urges I had. Motivated more then ever I had a first chemical test period which was very, very positive.
As an academic, research drove me too see the disadvantages of castrating a man of 32.
After two new test periods I quit. Now I'm happy. I'm happy I did not damage my health, I'm happy about who and what I am. Since latest chemical test period I did not touch my elastrator again. I just don't want to.
And yes Masturbation is again a part of my life. So what...
A great TX to the EA for this.
I should recommend for everyone that want to be castrated urgently to be patient, really patient. Take a test period on androcur and see what happens.
TX again all of you,
Vesal !

I just set the date this afternoon. August 12th puts an end to 34 years of physical, emotional, and psychological pain. Now I've just gotta finish with the fund raising and I'm all set.

My castration was beyond my control. I actually didn't know it had occurred until 8 days later. Talk about a shock to the system!
Castration was something we did to livestock, it was never something I had thought about or even imagined happening to me. Yet, here we are!
It's been 3 years 4 months and 11 days...not that I'm keeping track or anything. The first year was brutal. Accident, financial crisis, then divorce and even more financial crisis.
Not knowing what was going to happen to me physically was one of my biggest problems. I've come to the conclusion that I'm vain. It's not intentional, but I am. I've always been built well, and I guess I'm proud of it...and I REALLY didn't want to lose that in a short time.
Guess what, with proper HRT I haven't, I'm probably ahead of the game at this point. I'm leaner and stronger than I was a year ago, I know that for certain.
So when it comes down to it, yes I'd rather have my testicles back, but in actuality I can survive just fine without them. The only problem I have with it is other people knowing.
There's this strange stigma attached to being a eunuch. To some it might be a turn on, for me it's something I try desparately to keep secret. Not because it's really a problem, simply because I don't want to be looked at as different. That's probably insecurity on my part, but that's the way I feel.
I'm not a loner in a big city, I'm a country bumpkin in a small community were I know everybody and they know me. I'm seventh generation on the same farm!
So in answer to the original question....physically I'm probably better off, but the mental aspect of having this stupid secret eats at me, so mentally I'm worse off. Does that make any sense?
Thanks to this site, I get to vent and let the stupid secret out...that has helped me incredibly, I want to thank anyone who has listened, read, or given me advice or information! You guys can't imagine how much I've come out of my shell the last year or so! I thank you all.
