There are experts here who can opine the why and wherefore of castration, but it does seem safe to say that a resulting psych change is likely. Does this include the wish for more mods? In general, it seems it may well. In particular, the individual is unique, and hard to predict.

So what? Learn as much as possible before doing the irreversible. That said, we all enjoy sequential stages of life in which we metamorphose whether we like it or not. I suspect that choosing a new stage in life is also worth considering, and may suit some and give great happiness. My own two-cents is that any such mods should be done to please oneself, rather than pacify a partner. DIY is a mistake, find the best medical care affordable.

I just re-read the original question. Seems not a bad idea to read carefully, to divine the original thought. Maybe the question is more one of inevitability of further mods, rather than choice?

I suspect that while many things in life can be expected to alter our preferences, our ability to choose between them remains intact, whatever may be said of the pruned testicles?

You might even choose to own a cat!

-though the exact connection between felines and testicles has always eluded me.

It seems that the 'eunuch calm' sounds like its anything but calm. I'm going through a mid-life crisis and just started doing research on eunuch, though most ppl dont know what it is. Theres a reference to a eunuch in the pirates of the carreabaen(sp): curse of the black pearl. I'm 33 and dont have a career yet, or job. when I do have one it lasts less than 6 months if that. And I dont know to do.

Yes, many eunuchs here, and mostly content that way, I think. I'm not sure that presence or absence of testicles has much to do with a tumultuous life. While there are the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, life is also largely what you make of it.

I suspect that adding another upheaval such as castration might be less than wise....?

Some ppl think the things I do is breaking sum kind of rule or law, but in my eyes its not. I've been dianosed w/ADD/LD with autistic features and most of the time it a while for me to the task right or exactly how it should be done. That said, when I'm left to my own decisions thats when I believe that I get the most scrutiny. do i benefit from the 'eunuch calm'

Well, not since Qing times has eunuch been a career path. -And for the most part they were detested, with sayings around to this day such as "to stink like a eunuch". (Gotta feel a little sympathy as these had a single-slice loss of balls scrotum and dick, leaving little control over direction of urine and consequently much soiling. However, some did rise to high office, hopefully worth it.)

Life is largely what you make it. We get chances, use them or lose them, and the rest you do the old way; you gotta work for it.

-Meant to encourage, and never to deny a listening ear.

Peace indeed! But I thought that Elmo likes test-tickles?

From my observation the desire for continuing with other modifications after castration is limited to a very few hard core individuals. It would seem that low or absent Testosterone diminishes the desire for more modifications; an exception may be a natural desire to remove the scrotum and/or to "tidy-up" the area where the testicles once were. --FLO--

Pardon the necropostia, but it seems current to look at the progression of mods, particularly as we now have so many new to the nullo world. Most have gotten there by stages. I wonder about the removal of a scrotum, and would wish the last remnant to be taken too, but I can't help thinking it may just be part of a natural(?) progression. I have enjoyed finding myself now as a medical "accidental" eunuch, even if adjustment was needed earlier. Scrotal remnant removal is an aim, though I have not found a surgeon to do it. It was certainly not an aim before castration, now it is. While one must be so careful for what one wishes, there are times when even a well-done nullification is a very attractive idea. Is it all just a progression? Or do people have desires that come and go according to hormones, phases of the moon.... One would hardly think that the moon affects Uncle Flo... Recent posts by Heinrich and others seem happy and not in the least crazy!
