I am the news director for a radio station in North East Michigan. This story popped up on my morning news feed, and my boss said it came down the pipe as a special feed yesterday. Even though you may not have mentioned the EA the wire story did.

Being that my radio station is not a shock and rock station I did not run the story. BUT expect the number of hits on the archive to jump soon.

I am not sure what others might think, but I (OPINION! OPINION!!) would see no reason NOT to mention The Eunuch Archives. If people come here, they will find a HUGE spectrum of opinions, from those who suggest the best way to get castrated by the underground cutters, to those like me who advocate the services of Drs Spector and Kimmel, Or the Thailand surgeons. Not to mention some who might discourage the idea entirely and advocate to leave it a fantasy. The EA doesn't need publicity, but in my opinion there is no reason to avoid it. The EA DOES supply an enormous service to the Eunuch Community, and we should give thanks to that hard-working trio that makes it possible.

I agree the EA performs a great service to the community. I just meant I kep

in the sense that I don't want any harassment by our duly consituted authorities of the best source of information around. In the meantime, if they want to worry about some Yahoo groups that never get any traffic, let them.

Yes, I have to say that this:

really has me worried.

If anyone has a copy of any article or wire report that mentions the EA by name, please post or mail me a copy. Thus far I haven't found anything any more detailed than the news article posted above.

And, to any law enforcement agents or agencies, the EA does NOT act as a clearinghouse for "cutters" and anyone every asking advice or actively seeking a cutter has been told that ANY operation should only be done by a licensed professional.

So far I haven't seen any articles listing websites. However Arcane did mention it was given on the news wire he received at the radio station. Hopefully he will be so kind to post the article here.

I've only have found one more article from the local news here mentioning the castration.

Police say Oak Park man admits to castrating 50 men

By David Shepardson / The Detroit News

OAK PARK -- A 29-year-old Oak Park man who castrated another man on his kitchen table told police he has castrated 50 men since 1994.

The local resident, who doesn't have medical training, was arrested Saturday morning after a 48-year-old man was found wearing blood-stained pants, said Bob Bauer, deputy director of the Oak Park Public Safety Department.

The resident told police that he met the men he had castrated through the Internet. Police have been unable to verify the man's claim of 50 castrations.

"We believe that the castration was a consensual act," Bauer said. "We don't know what his motivation was in performing the castration or why the other man wanted to be castrated."

After the procedure early Saturday morning in the 14000 block of Northfield, the two men ate strawberry pie together, Bauer said.

Police plan to re-interview the man who was castrated. He was taken to Providence Hospital, where he underwent a three-hour operation. He has since been released.

When police searched the Oak Park house, they found two testicles in a plastic container in a refrigerator. They were not those of the man who was castrated Saturday, Bauer said.

The man was arrested on suspicion

Bauer said.

Oakland County Prosecutor David Gorcyca said his office was reviewing the case.

"We are working with the Oak Park police to see what charges, if any, are appropriate," Gorcyca said.

As for my observations, meeting someone on the EA is very unlikely. You will have better luck meeting them on Yahoo, if you are an active member in the different groups.

I was wondering - If a guy had a botched castration, but refused to tell authorities who his cutter was, could he get in trouble?

Also, thanks to Andrew for his post -- that's very nice of you. There are, however, people out there who would like nothing more than to rid the world of websites like this and people like us.

Sex should be between a man and a woman, over 18, in a marriage, each with all of their respective parts. Praise God. Amen.

Can you confirm that the person posting here as the person involved in this incident is in fact the person?

Bboy,

You keep talking like that, and I'm going to come up there and wash your mouth (and your ass) out with soap!

Bboy - Yes Don is actually the person involved with the Castration that went awry.

Happousai - I'm pretty sure that there wouldn't be any charge brought against someone for not divulging the name of the cutter if something were to go wrong. As for why Don mentioned the name of the cutter was two fold. For 1, it was done at the cutters house, and he was found about 2 houses down. Second the cutter was on the verge of suicide after what happened that night. I do think more harm would have come out if he had committed suicide.

Personally I do think Don did his homework, and that it the cutter had been someone else, he would not be here with us today. It was just bad luck on both his and the cutter's part that things went awry that night. I personally would have let that cutter castrate me before all the events that had occurred. I have been at his mercy a few times in some Bondage/CBT session, and never once felt threaten by him.

As for my recommendation I still recommend that people see Dr. Spector & Dr.

if they want to be done. It is the safest method out there. Although I do understand the need for underground cutters, since not everyone can afford to head to Philly and be cut professionally. Maybe someday people's attitude will change and there will be more understanding about guys wanting to become eunuchs, and more professional doctors that will do the job.

Luvpain:

You are right, except for the part about needing all of their respective parts. Certain of those parts are occasionally removed for medical reasons. A committed marital relationship should not depend on the existance of essential sexual parts.
