But thank god I found it, I have not been able to find likeminded people intel now with good information about castration and life as a eunuch!! Most of the stuff online just was not what I thought the reasoning behind my deep-down desire to get castrated and live the remaining portion of my life in peace as a eunuch stemmed from. I am an older man who can no longer alleviate my sexual burning desire. I'm becoming obsessed with porn. So you see I'm becoming a raging dirty old man. I'm being tortured with no means of escape with raging hormones cursing though my veins. I'm being tortured continuously and I'm sick of it all, the thoughts, emotions, the way I view women, and especially the testosterone. So it seems castration is the only answer. I want the peace and tranquility life as eunuch could give me. A'm I on the right track?

Welcome, and I hope we can help you find the path that is right for you...

I can somewhat relate in that when I was injured I found that I could no longer reach an orgasm / ejaculation - things would work up until the 'no return' point, and then it was like the film broke and NOTHING... I had several years of frustration, then I found EA by accident, and everything clicked... I feel much better now that the desire is no longer such a dominant part of my life.... I still enjoy cuddling with my GF of many years, but am no longer frustrated (or at least not as much) by my inability to go further than that....

At the same time, I always advise new folks to be careful and not rush into anything irreversible... I think that trying a period of chemical castration (aka testosterone suppression) is worth trying to see if it works for you. This is also the usual recommendation in the WPATH SOC v.8, which is the current 'bible' on medically managed castration.... I suggest going to the WPATH website, downloading a copy of the SOC, and reading at least the 'Eunuch Chapter' (preferably all of it). Then you should consider reaching out to your local Transgender center / clinic and start making your way through the process, which will probably start with wanting you to try chemical castration....

Good luck on your journey, and feel free to ask any questions you have.

Thank you so much for your response to My first post on this site. Your advice was exactly what I needed, In fact it is the first really meaningful support and understanding I've received. I hope don't mind me asking you lots of questions?

No problem at all... If I objected to questions, I wouldn't be here I got a lot of help here when I first started on this journey and am glad to 'pay it forward'...

I'll disagree with this a little, but not totally. I have always enjoyed banding. It's not quite a "rush", but it's more like wishful thinking. Anyways, I did a trial of chemical castration a few years back and I loved it. Honestly makes me confident that it's what I truly want. But life has a funny way of throwing a wrench in things and I ended up meeting the love of my life so I stopped. It took my body way longer than I expected to recover. Anyway, once we're done having kids, she's cool with me getting fixed instead of a vasectomy. But I'm still banding, only on occasion.

I wouldn't say everyone who treats castration as wank material isn't suited for it. I think the bigger question is the motivation and the mindset as far as realistic expectations. Banding isn't realistic. Neither is burdizzo. Self harm is a real problem. But there's some that self harm for erotic reasons and others that self harm out of desperation.

So, again, I disagree with the OP, but only slightly.

And in case anyone was wondering, I had a fertility test last year and the boys are working wonderfully.

Congratulations on the understanding romantic partner, (nothing like having a w(r)ench thrown into your life! and wish you the best of luck in having as many kids as you desire... (I'm still disappointed that my GF and I did not succeed despite a great deal of (mutually enjoyable) effort... But it is what it is...)

I'm not saying that treating castration as wanking material is automatically not suited for it, but I definitely think it should be looked at as a 'caution flag', especially when one starts wanting it done under some set of 'kinky' conditions or in some way other than a routine medical procedure like any other similar level of surgery... I enjoy the story area both before surgery and now, but I definitely prefer the stories that focus more on the stuff before / after the big than on the actual event.... But I don't see it as wanking material....

Seeing as this post/thread started when you were barely old enough to get a drivers license, I'd say the world has changed quite a bit since the OP asked the question. We've been getting a lot of resurrected, long dead threads lately. While I don't mind it, it may be worth paying attention to when referencing these older threads to keep in mind what the environment was like with this subject at that time vs. present day.

In 2008 when the OP started the thread, the medical community wouldn't help with this in any meaningful way. Oh sure, if you managed to find a way to evict the twin tyrants, the medical community WOULD treat the resulting HYPOgonadism, but other than that, the medical community was functionally useless. Cutters reigned supreme. This was the case until about the beginning of 2016. At which point the majority of people obtaining these surgeries changed from men who wanted to only get castrated, to men who progressed right to full nullification - the removal of everything - Penises, testicles, and scrotum. My guess on that is there were many cutters who could reliably get the job done, but there were also many who would botch the job with castration. Very few helped with penectomies. So you rolled the dice - something guys don't have to do today to achieve their goal.

What I take from this is that castration was the more popular choice at the time because it was much safer than letting a cutter remove it all. Penectomy is a fair bit harder to accomplish without proper training. Once doctors started helping in a meaningful way in 2016, most guys who were just starting their journey opted to have everything removed in one surgery, instead. Those who, like me, had been castrated years earlier and would have preferred getting nullified, have gone on to have their empty scrotums and penises removed as I now have.

I'd say folks who opt only for castration, at least as far as this subject goes, are the minority population now, and that wasn't the original case.

Back to my original point... it's important to know these things and understand them in the context of the time they were written. The OP started this thread 16 years ago, and the environment was much different then.
