I also cannot understand someone getting castrated without taking advantage of a trial run. It is wonderful that most could experience the trail run for something so permanent even with all the replacement therapy available. There are some very poor reasons to be castrated such as to please someone else as a master or Mistress or spouse or friend. Not to take advantage of a trail run seems like a big mistake. A minimum of six months seems reasonable to experience the pros and cons through chemical castration.

There is no way to test drive what it is like to be without testicles if your goal isn't to reduce testosterone. I'll leave that here as a reason many men do not do so... I didn't.

The reason it is difficult to find people in places like this who regret their decision is they don't want to be reminded of it, at least that is my theory. If you got your testicles removed, and regretted it, would you come to a forum where such removal is discussed with regularity. So here you'll find mostly folks happy with their decision to remove whatever part of their male anatomy they desired.

I only know of two cases of regret, and both were members here at one time, but no longer come to these forums, at least publicly. One lurks from time to time. I would never out his lurking by name.

It would be interesting to make a topic where we would ask how many have done a chemical castration before doing surgery.

I don't think there are many.

Those who are castrated do so in general for good reasons and in general do not regret it, this is in any case what the months of investigation testify on several forums devoted to this subject.

Those who are castrated by play to please masters or wives or friends etc.

I'm sorry to have to say that, but they are congenital idiots.

I think the risk of regretting a castration is to have bad reasons to do it. Personally, I am approaching the deadline after years of research and questioning. I have a neurological disease which makes me impotent and sterile, I think it is worth a chemical castration, the difference is that my disease unlike chemical castration is not cured.

When I speak of regrets of a castration, I understand the answers of some concerning chemical castration, but on the one hand I do not feel concerned, and on the other hand those who could actually test this before the surgery, do not Do not want it at all if we consider the reversible side effects of course, but also intolerable.

Many of those who have posted defending first-line chemical castration have frustration in their profile. What better frustration than being castrated and regretting it?

So to come back to the subject of the topic, I don't have to worry about having my testicles removed, where I would see regrets, it's in emasculation, and that chemical castration cannot imitate it. Physical appearance, chemistry doesn't do it either. We will summarize by saying that chemical castration is misnamed, it is simply a drastic reduction in libido and that's it. Although we have recently seen in France a pedophile under controlled chemical castration, raping a child.

Who would have said that a surgically castrated man could, if he took testosterone, have an almost normal sex life.

I think then that chemical castration can in rare cases give someone who is in doubt the possibility of knowing what low libido and impotence is, but testosterone which seems to work on pretty much everyone , seems to be enough to reassure those who go directly to the surgical version.

Where I would see a real interest in chemical castration, it is for someone who would like to reduce his libido, because he suffers from it and does not cheat, he sticks to it, that's all. Although I remind you, not everyone appreciates and it is an understatement, the side effects of this type of castration.

I take this opportunity to thank all the participants in this topic, even if we sometimes have a few small differences, that's also the interest of sharing, then what is bad for me can be good for another reader, let's be tolerant, with an informative purpose, but not dictatorial or guilty.

As LooseThem says, some hopefully few have regrets, and unfortunately we don't see them expressing themselves when the goal is to understand them, not to judge them.

As anyone who has followed my blog over the past few years knows, I was castrated for medical reasons and not because I ever wanted to become a Eunuch. But I don't have one regret at having lost my balls and honestly, if medical science progressed to the point of replacing them, I would not consider it. There are a few cons to being a Eunuch but the pros far outweigh them.

What do you consider the main pros and cons?

I would like you to develop a little more the adventures and the disadvantages of being a eunuch, since you have had the involuntary experience ...

I was involuntarily and I hate the hormones such a nightmare for me.

Pros: a general feeling of wellbeing. Far less quick to anger. Control of libido, sex because you want it rather than need it. Better lover, more attentive to wife’s pleasure over own. Orgasms are not as intense but last much longer and are felt throughout the body. No chance of pregnancy, More comfortable, especially after the scrotum is removed.

Cons: without TRT weight gain, loss of strength. Slightly decreased in cognitive ability, penile shrinkage if not used, breast growth.

Of course much of this is from my own experience and may not apply to anyone else. Many men loose all interest in sex and some have body image issues or feel emasculated. If TRT is not desirable or causes health issues, female hormones (estrogen) helps with many of the cons, but breast will become larger and body fat redistributes to a more feminine shape.

Funny how my wife and many of her female friends who know I’m a Eunuch now believe all men over 45 should be castrated to equalize marital libidos, diminish chances of philandering and just have a happier husband.

So aside the sexual themes, pros are more emotional and cons physical.

In 2018 I too was castrated for medical reason.

Since then I have been using Androgel.

My lab tests indicate I am high end of normal T level.

Even so, no matter what I do, physically, visually via porn, or mentally, I can not get an erection.

Without an erection I can not get an orgasm.

I crave and am desperate to get an erection and have an orgasm.

This is so frustrating it is driving me up the wall.

There is the want, the will, but no way.

I really miss my balls, how they felt in my hand, how they would flop around when I would masturbate and how they felt when pressure was applied to them.

For me, at least, the sensory experience of testicles played a major part in my ability to get an erection and have an orgasm.

About the only thing that i do not miss is the deep aching pain that my balls were causing me.

I will admit, however, that an empty scrotum does feel kind of sexy.

And not having balls I can never experience any pain of being bashed in the groin.

And sitting down with nothing there crossing my legs does not cause any discomfort.

So, I am trying to accept and live with being castrated, but so far it has been difficult mentally and emotionally.

In particular I having great difficulty with my self identity.

I was born male and lived my entire life as male, and since puberty as a gay male.

Without all my Original Equipment I am having difficulty identifying as a male.

I identify as a Eunuch, even though I don't want to identify that way.

I was in the closet as a gay man for decades, but eventually came out privately to friends, and eventually have no problem with anyone knowing I am gay.

However, only my husband of 11 years, and one confidant friend, and my doctors know I have been castrated.

And I intend on not making that public information.

I do not want to deal with any more emotional distress or pity or answer question etc. from anyone who knows me.

So, I am back in the closet as far as being a eunuch.

One time my supply of Androgel for a month while I was out of the country

This did not seem to have any adverse effects.

In fact I felt calm and relaxed and did not have the sexual tension that I now have.

Thus, maybe stopping use of the Androgel might be a good idea for me to be free from the sexual tension and mental distress and anxiety that I am currently experiencing.
