I received an email this morning from Optomen TV confirming that Jon Swain is indeed an employee of that organization.

I encourage anyone who feel comfortable doing to try and give Jon the information he needs to make an educational and informed program.

Jon, for your part I would like to see a general description of the program you are trying to put together. Do you already have the content set and are trying to get people to confirm, or are you using your experiences here as a way to determine what should be included in the program?

For my two cents worth, I have indicated to Jon that I hope the program goes in depth into the penectomy aspects of eunuchism, an area that has not been explored before.

Another area of focus could/should be on the struggle of people to find competant medical care willing to perform the kinds of procedures these people need. The 'cutter' scene in the eunuch community is akin to the back-alley coathanger abortions of the pre-Row v. Wade decision here in the US.

I also hope that Jon's program takes a close look at the internet eunuch community, and how the internet has brought us together and is in the beginning stages of changing the way people think about emasculation.

Jon, I hope you continue to read and comment here. The best way to get people to really trust you is to participate here for a while and get to know the people and their personalities, and to let them get to know yours.

Ask questions and people will answer. This is on average a highly educated group of people with real, serious, and typically informed opinions about this subject.

My email address is [email protected], so feel free to contact me.

I know that you have been in contact with my co-Archivist who posts on this board under the name Talula. He is the coordinator for media relations.

Hi Folks,

A brief message from the media coordinator:

This television opportunity is in no way connected with The Eunuch Archive. It is however golden for those who have something to say.

I have no idea what his story line is nor do I know what his specific questions will be, but if you are serious about your modifications and wish to share your experiences to the world then email or call him. What have you to lose?

If the possibility of you being in front of a television camara makes you gun shy, don't worry as you are not the only person to feel that way. Take two deep breaths go. Ignore the camera and just talk. If for some reason you spew coffee out of your nose, well, they'll edit that part out later heheh.

Sieze the opportunity my brethren. Let your voices be heard! Who knows, he might have to make his show much longer than planned if the material is there!

Thanks very much to all those who have replied to my message - great that you're willing to talk.

We are still developing the programme and don't have a set story line or any kind of agenda at all. These kind of subjects are still relatively new to mainstream media and academia - the only way to explore them properly is through personal testimony. So the heart of our programme will be people talking about their sexuality and sexual experiences. That's why I'm here - to find out what you guys think about castration and what it might tell us about sexuality more generally.

Thanks again for your time.

Jon

Hi Jon

Although i am not castrated as yet but hope to be with in the next couple of years I do live in the UK and would be willing to talk to you if it would help in anyway.

I have heard of the type of programmes that your company produces as i have a friend that assisted you with the Animal Passions documentary.

Of which i thought it showed the subject in a reasonable light

So, is it safe to assume that you are looking for people who reside in England?

Or are those in North America welcome as well?

IEunuch.

We are interested in people mainly from North America.

But if there are people in the UK who might be interested in telling their stories on camera, I would like to hear from them. We have another project (still in its infancy) that they might be interested in participating in sometime in the future.

Keep posting!

Jon
