Tugon, your post brought tears to my eyes, I know exactly what you felt and awful though it was, thank God you are still here and still posting and sharing.

I think we someone minimize the magnitude of what removing cock or balls really means. Even though a lot of us mentally feel like it isn't connected to us, and others think their genitals are small or useless, the reality is that they are connected with a serious blood supply and nerve system and they are much more flesh than you are probably giving them credit for.

Doing this yourself (or with cutter) is just as crazy in terms of seriousness as cutting off all your fingers on one hand -- that is how much flesh and blood supply you're dealing with! We just have some mental block thinking that somehow they can just be easily sliced off -- it is a real error in judgment on our part. Genitals are a major body part.'

I'm saying this as someone that has cut partway through penis to have blood uncontrollably splurting across a room just like horror movie... I totally get the desire and how you get to that point but don't underestimate it. Even doctors need specialized training, and even with doctors the healing process is difficult when it is done professionally.

I think some of the deplorable sensationalized stories about a man cutting off his penis since his wife will not give him boys might minimize the risk. I, for one, having worked in a hospital was very aware of the risks. In life you choose your risks. Hell some people jump out of a perfectly good plane.

As a professional engineer, I do a lot of risk analysis and a common mistake that most people make is they say they "accept the risk" when what they really mean is "I don't think it will happen to me". That is not what accepting a risk means. Accepting a risk means "I'd be okay if the bad thing happens to me". For example, a person who rides a motorcycle without a helmet is only truly accepting the risk if they are actually think that some years of riding with the wind in your hair is worth getting brain damage or killed in what would have been a survivable crash. That isn't actually the way most think of it though, most think "it won't happen to me".

This is particularly important with side effects from medication. Sure it might only be 1 in 1000 people who develop permanent facial ticks from a medication, but would you really be okay if it happened to you when taking a pill to treat a minor issue? So many people take medications saying -- that's an unlikely side effect. But what if you're the one affected!

Anyway, life is full of risks. I do think that in many ways I accepted the risk when I did my self harm. I was kinda okay with the idea I might die in the attempt. And many of us here know that feeling.

But I also think that there is a minimization. It just seems like it should be soooo easy to just slice off those annoying dangly bits. In fact they're just asking for it hanging out there! But man, there is serious vascularity involved if you stop to think about it.

I do agree that most people doing things like CaCl injections do accept the risks. Even the risk that they may not be fully happy with being castrated.

But if you cut your penis through, just want people to know that there is risk of actual death. If you're okay to possibly die due to the desperation of your need, then that is your right.

Sadly you cannot engineer the human experience. I hope from what I wrote you are able to understand I accepted the risk. You may have regrets but I do not. I am happy with the new me as opposed to who I was. It was a life saving experience

Puts my problems in perspective, that.

I think that I can speak for all of us who have attempted a DIY castration and survived. It begins with a desire. The desire becomes all encompassing. As time passes, you become so desperate that eventually you will try anything, no matter how life threatening. Finally it happens. It is only then, with no Testosterone in your system befuddling your brain, that you"wake-up" and discover your real self.

There is only one way to prevent DIY castration. The medical community must recognize and legitimize the procedure.
