So truly insightful responses here, I wasn't really expecting so many. Thanks to all who shared their thoughts. It would seem that peace of mind is quite a common desire among those wishing to be cut. I kinda thought it would be along with reduced sexual desire.

I con only imagine how it feels to wake up without balls those first few times after being cut, it must be something indescribable

I instinctively do the same every morning in bed when I get up as a reminder that they're gone. I like the reassuring feeling of knowing nothing is there. My girlfriend occasionally likes to squeeze it too when we have sex. My being clipped turns her on, a lot.

I'm one of those who feel the benefit has more to do with Matthew 19:11,12(ESV):

11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

As it says, not everyone can receive his saying, but thankfully I am able to receive the saying. I was reflecting the other day on the fact that I got castrated, and I really think it is the best thing I've ever done in my life. I love being a eunuch. I love not having sexual thoughts constantly entering my mind. I love not having the desire to be in a relationship with all its complications. I love the simple life and being a eunuch helps me to live a more simple life.

I'd probably be the same, checking down there every morning after I wake up. The empty feeling must be quite something.

I don't know if I will ever quit feeling down there as after several years I still do. Just recently started some replacement therapy which I thought I would not but some of the effects were getting pretty severe.

Not hurting.

Now, if we assume this happens in the near future, and not in an alternate version of present day, we can add "Being able to manage my own hormone levels and fertility". If lab-grown penises and printed skin are also a part of this near-future world, I'd probably have my wedding tackle adjusted to better suit my preferences, both aesthetic and pragmatic. Of course, I'd have it all done in one go, so I only have to pay the anesthesiologist once. As a result, waking up and feeling - then when it's time to change the bandages, seeing - something entirely different there that I imagined, designed, and saw made would be completely exhilarating. Sure, it'd probably end up looking like something out of either a veterinary urology text or the furry fandom when it's complete, (NSFW, you have been warned) (http://d.facdn.net/art/ultraviolet/1220 ... f_peni.jpg) but it'd no longer flap around when I run, or (shudder) get caught in a zipper like that scene in "There's Something About Mary" (https://youtu.be/Sj_A7OZz8TI?t=28s) which actually happened to me. As a result, I no longer have a penile frenulum; after the third or fourth time it reopened, the structure degenerated. As one of the most densely enervated parts of the penis, there was a substantial loss in sensation, satisfaction, and the ability to finish. (The latter of which has significant impact on self-confidence, let me tell you…) Taking back some control over what I am built like would be a relief.

I wouldn't have myself castrated. How ever IF I did I can imagine some advantages.

Reason 1) This is a true story. Just a few days ago I had to make a trip to the emergency room. The reason was pain and swelling "down there". One of my balls ballooned up to four times it's normal size. It turns out it's an infection and is currently being treated by antibiotics and pain pills. There is an abscess in my scrotum and there was talk of taking me to the OR to have it drained. Hopefully surgery won't be necessary. Three days later I'm in some discomfort and my left nut is about the size of a small avocado. My point is that stuff between your legs can cause medical problems.

Reason 2) I'd like to set a good example from an environmental viewpoint. I love kids but no one can dispute that humans are the most invasive species on the Earth. 7 plus billion of us stretch the resources of the planet too thin.

Reason 3) I'd like to set a good example to young males who are considering the operation. The more eunuchs around the less the stigma associated with castration.

Reason 4) I love being able to whack off but even so there is something about being rendered incapable of sex that sort of turns me on.

Some of the good things would be not having to go through everything some of us have to get here and maybe less stigma attached. But might not appreciate it being done as much if it was too easy.I like also feeling when I go to bed, in the morning and sometimes when I wake up at night the tight emptiness there to know it is real! Can't resist and I love it! Part of the reason is because it was wanted bad enough to go through what it took!

There's something undeniably… intriguing? Thrilling? about giving someone else the remote to your hormone implant.

I already have. "Mounds_dont" You know "Almond joy has nuts..."

Freedom. That is what I have.
