Gay? No. No that there is anything wrong with that. I know that here on the archive there are as many reasons as colors in the spectrum but some are pretty simple and straightforward.

In some cases its a pretty simple medical issue. Chronic pains for instance. Tried all the therapy short of surgery and now, I'm at that point where I don't think surgical removals and replacements with silicone testicles sounds bad. In fact it sounds very good. And I for example have not the slightest interest in a life that is testosterone free. I've talked to some men that have an even more simple reason. Cancer. You can go from A - Z with Z being people who think they need to be surgicaly purified to take a ride to heaven in the UFO and everyone in between.

Firstly is it a gay thing as most do seem to be gay? Is this a subconscious dislike of being gay and societies underlying abhorrence at homosexuality? Do alot of gay men see castration as a cure?

Or is it a case of men no longer feeling secure in theeir role and feeling mentally castrated by women taking over mens traditional roles and surpasing men in many fields? Do men now dislike being identified as male?

Is this a growing desire in the male population?

I myself have no real use for my genitals anymore. I think I would feel and look better without them being in the way.

I've thought about going nullo, but since I am a nudist, I felt that I should keep my penis to avoid being stared at. Also, my wife dislikes the thought of me becoming a nullo. I plan to keep my scrotum but with no implants. My wife likes to fondle my scrotum.

LOL They don't stare at your penis?:)

Nudists always look, but staring is a no-no.

I see your point about numbers Calmeilles. The point I was trying to make is, I don't think castration fantasies or men wanting to be castrated is not a gay thing or a straight thing. The fact that there are lots of gay stories, and lots of straight stories in the Story Archive tells me that simply having castration fantasies or men wanting castration has no

Some here suggested they thought it was mostly gay men who want this. The fact there are lots of straight men on this forum, and lots of gay men here tells me that men wanting castration is not simply about sexual orientation.

Statistically, using the points raised by Calmeilles, the only thing your observation about the fiction archives indicates is that authors writing with gay themes are simply more prolific....

The largest survey of the EA / Eunuch community as a whole was originally summarized in the following thread. As is typical of academic publishing, press dates are often significantly later than the research is conducted. I understand there are several articles in press based upon this data.

http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=7464

What is your sexual orientation?

Heterosexual (straight) - 28 %

Homosexual (Gay / Lesbian) - 33 %

Bisexual - 32. %

Asexual - 4 %

Other - 2%

Excerpted from email discussions with the principal authors regarding the above survey / study:

“One very significant element is the very large proportion of gay respondents. Given the over-all membership of the EA, I am willing to make the presumption that the sample reflected our overall population, based upon profile reports. It leaves me to wonder though, and perhaps speculate a bit as to why this would be the case, even beyond "guilt" or "risk" factors.

“The questions were not so probing as to let us know whether anyone's sense of "guilt" about homosexual orientation per se was a risk factor for castration ideation, in the absence of other risk factors. However, a propensity toward dangerous sexual play appears to be more common in the homosexual than the heterosexual populations of North America and Europe.

“One might wonder if the "guilt" factor comes about via internalized homophobia, familial, social, and religious. Is there a disaffection from sex and sexuality because of the institutional and familial homophobia? Is it largely religiously influenced? Is there an element of self-punishment following and taking the form of punitive fantasy / ideation for being gay?

“Another aspect I would consider is that because gay sexuality is of much greater focus and intensity, often of necessity, in western society, because of its highlighted disapprobation, especially in the individual's daily existence, there is a significantly increased self-awareness of it and related aspects of life. Because one is so much more attuned to such things, one is willing to explore it more fully from all angles, resulting in greater risk-taking, "richer" fantasy life, and so on.”

Since being castrated, has your sexual orientation changed?

Yes - 26

No - 92

Unsure - 22

“The results on change in sexual orientation raise a problem in light of the belief that sexual orientation is relatively fixed. Overall, the respondents report a twenty percent change in sexual orientation with castration. One would not expect a significant change of direction in orientation. I would be more suspicious that a number of individuals have become more attuned to, and willing to acknowledge, their previously existing and perhaps repressed orientation. This especially in light of the recent findings that have been cited regarding claims of bi-sexuality, and the reality of their responses to stimuli presented”

Thanx for all the replies to my question.It is very interesting to read all the views and some answers to the why.s. I am not advocating that gay men should be ashamed or anything like that,it was just experience from the chat room that the greater number of men are gay or men who haven't accepted the fact they are gay.

I am straight and will be castrated eventually but medically as my balls never really developed and are ultra tiny and dont function as normal.They cause me alot of embarrassment and no pleasure so recommended removal and implants by my doctor but am still deciding as all you eunuchs know the after effects are not that nice in some.

I was curios to see how many men felt mentally castrated already by their new role in modern society and by the media and women but from the answers this doesnt seem to be the case
