The most common forcible castrations are probably intersex people who doctors choose to "make female" and other mentally ill people who were castrated when it was believed that that was the best thing for them. That sort of thing happened into the 1960s in US and maybe still happens in some parts of the world.

I would think that there are probably a lot of assaults that don't make it onto the news. I always wonder how assaults even make it on the news anyway -- a victim has a right to privacy, and it seems weird to me that news would even chase ambulances like that (but I guess they probably do). But I expect there are all sorts of guys that are assaulted and then go privately to doctor and police in a way that never makes the news. Castration seems like a pretty natural way for guys to hurt other guys they don't like, so it would have to be a part of some portion of assaults.

I met a man many years ago who had been forcibly nullified in war, as a boy, by enemy troops seeking some collective revenge. They left him for dead but he recovered later. Interestingly, there were at least two women among these soldiers and one of them took part in the assault. He had learnt to live with it, but he was not much happy about it.

One small correction: IS people are not mentally ill.

Gelding has so many different stories on his castration that its a real laugh. The real truth is only known to him and that will most likely never be told.

Hey Guys: Thanks for writing and for your friendship. The friendship and feelings of brotherhood mean more to me that I can tell you about. I am incredibly greatful. Bro, the reason I got hurt was simple (my fault also): I was obnoxious drunk and acting thugish with my buddies in a local bar here in Knoxville. A older guy called me out to the parking lot to do some physical stuff and dumb ass that I am I took him up on the offer. He beat the shit out of me and then castrated me. The bartender called 911 and the ambulance came (thank God). The guy and his buddies split and no one knows who the hell he was. A complete stranger to everyone. My guess is he was probably a farmer cuz the doctor told me it was a clean cut. I don't think he will ever be caught but I got other things to work on. You guys have helped me big time with your friendship and concern. I'm scared about what has become of me - my depressions, lack of sex drive (NO sex thoughts at all), hot flashes like a gal, and my dick is shrinking (not to mention that the dick is totally dead). I have me a family and lots of caring brothers. Of course, my dad turned me out and my blood brothers mock me out. I am happy with you wonderful guys and I tell you all thanks. Much love to you all, Donny

I ran across this not that long ago. Since the member already made a public post about it that anyone can find, I don't have a problem with posting it here. I have not seen him post recently, but he may be in contact with other members. As far as I know, this is the only post where he describes what happened to him.

Yeah, I communicated with Donnie for a while. He was really confused and frustrated and scared, especially because his family was treating him differently. Haven't heard from him in several months, but last I knew, he was starting T therapy.

Happens all the time in warfare: mines, artillery, explosives and shots to the groin.

In World War II the Germans developed the s-mine, sometimes called the Scho or Shoe, but more commonly known as Bouncing Betty. They were called Bouncyng Betty because they would jump up to waist level and explode...ripping off the balls. Nasty.

On Wiki:

It was during the Allied actions in Europe that the S-mine gained its cynical nickname "Bouncing Betty" from American infantrymen. The S-mine had a great psychological effect on Allied forces because of its tendency to seriously maim infantrymen's limbs or genitalia rather than killing them. In his book Mine Warfare on Land, Lt. Col. Sloan described the S-mine as "probably the most feared device encountered by Allied troops in the war."

Watch the movie "Big Red One" about the First Infantry Divison. About half way though, in Scicily, a rookie soldier gets one of his balls blown off. His Sargent calms him down by assuring him that the other one is fine and that he gets to go home. Yeah, no problem.

A lot of vets out there have lost 'em' to war.

Forced castration has become rare in our very polite society, but in other times and places, it was common.

When the Congo was still a Belgian colony, and the "natives were restless," the Belgian authorities paid a bounty for each set of male genitalia turned in, as proof that a native man had been killed. Many men of the Congo sacrificed their genitals to save their lives, since the bounty hunters got paid whether the natives were dead or not. King Leopold, a monarch beloved by the Belgian people, is said to have hunted men of the Congo from atop an elephant, much as tigers were hunted. One benefit of colonial empires, at least for their masters, was that they allowed people from "civilized" countries a safe outlet for their natural barbarity.

My information would indicate that Belgian Congo was not a colony of Belgium but was the personal property of King Leopold. --FLO--

You're right, Flo. King Leopold II was the personal owner of Congo until he turned it over to the Belgian state in 1908. Congo became independent in 1960.

Ah, those were the days! Nothing like owning your own country, and running it as an abattoir.
