Well, it took me about 2 months to go from 3x a day to once a day and another 2 months to go to once every 2-3 days. Much of it will be in your head, and much of it will depend on the response of your adrenals. For me it was never about losing my sex drive; it was simply a remodeling job. Since I'm a bit low on testosterone, my sex drive has remained on the low side, but it's fun to get horny once in a while. Adds some spice to life.

Congratulations Maestro123. I'm glad your operation was a success, and best of luck for Step 2!

May I inquire, who was your surgeon, and in which hospital does he work?

Congratulations, Maestro!! Here's hoping you heal well and quickly, and your swelling is minimal. I'm certain you will be much happier in the near future.

Will you write up a more detailed description of your experience? WHat your thoughts were before and after the surgery etc?

Not to be intrusive for details, but...

A review of your experience with the facility would be very useful to the rest of us.

I recall back in the day several folks posting that Dr. Spector's office and staff scared the hell out of them in a few ways.

Thank you.

Hey guys, sorry for my delayed answer! I am combining my surgery with a summer vacation, so basically I have no free time.

One more time, thanks for your support. It means a lot for me.

I went in friday (26th), 3 day after the surgery to get an injection(an extra antibiotic), and I got my surgical dressing (including the sewing) removed by the surgeon. He told me that everything is as it should be. I am still taking the pills, antibiotics and pain-killers. Because of my stupid curiosity, yesterday evening, I touched my scrotum, more than I was supposed to (I was like kinda making sure that there are no balls ), and afterwards the pain got increased, but I took some extra pain-killers, and everything was fine. Generally the pain, is declining but slowly. Anyway, neither the first day, the pain was strong, it is like a sun-burn on the face or the back.

According my sex-drive, I haven't masturbated since 24th (the following day after the surgery). I am surrounded by some pretty girls, and I am attracted to them, but I think the attraction is slightly lower than what it was before. Hopefully, it will decline to a really low level. Here I see the point of some of you, that the brain is a powerful sex organ. And if you want to think about sex, with having no sex drive, you still can, and it's about habits and practice from before. But, I think after once the T-level gets very low, the sex thoughts will disappear by itself.

Regards,

maestro

It was OK. I had a general anesthesia, and the surgery was not painful at all. The stuff was lovely too. But, I think I don't get your question, what you mean by "experience with the faculty". And how had happened that the guys got frighten? I have read some reviews about Dr. Spector before, and I thought he is a nice guy.

He was asking about the facilities not the faculty(staff). Dr Spector was a very congenial man, but he stayed in practice far beyond his abilities. His office, desk and piles of paper, was an unsterile operating theatre - a disgusting and dangerous place to do surgery, but many of us did anyway.

Guys, there is nothing to be worried about. Remember, this is only castration. It's neither a heart surgery nor a kidney replacement. The castration is very simple operation, therefore the possibility for something to go wrong are really low. The polyclinics might look unsterilized enough, and the stuff could be not that professional, but this is a simple operation which can be done even by a vet.

According to my present condition, I can finally feel the effects of castration in terms of lowered sex drive. I am really not obsessed with sex that much. I saw many girls having swimming suits on, but it does not turn me on as before. I expect and hope that the decline will continue until in reaches the minimum possible level.

It is now 15 days since Maestros small surgery. It is about the time, it seems like he has achieved what he was seeking for. I've seen that many times before. As sex drive declines people tend to vanish from EA. It is good if people find their inner peace.

Hopefully Maestro will notice one day that he hasn't visited EA for a longer period and enlighten us here with his valuable experience

Just keeping this tread warm
