Then you'd guess wrong.

Get to know some of the "seniors" here before you end up swallowing that foot that's in your mouth.

I back Paolo up on this.

I've seen what happens with "unplanned accidents" and "things went bad" and any other excuse you want to discuss. No one is telling you to be careful and understand what you are doing for any other reason than we've seen that before and we've seen the bad results of it.

There's a very good reason to understand yourself and the consequences of your decision. That includes the tryout before the real things.

In the realm of quantum mechanical physics is something named, "The Pauli Exclusion Principle." It may be stated, with at least ample oversimplification, to be as a plausible fact, that no two of anything can have exactly the same quantum state (please note that my grasp of "quantum state" includes the wave function of a thing from t=minus_infinity to t=plus_infinity. That, for me, means simply, if two things are truly the same, there is only one of them.

In the early summer of 1986, I had concluded, as a best guess scientific theory, that I needed to do a tryout of surgical cancer risk minimization because, for me, the "real things" would have been dying from cancer in the manner of my dad and brother.

Prior to my 1986 surgeries, I had studied the medical literature in such formidable depth and detail that none of the results of my orchiectomy or colectomy were outside the region of my pre-surgical expectations.

Mistaken expectations may lead to disasters. I did my "homework" thoroughly and diligently. Therefore, I went straight to surgeries instead of trying testosterone suppression. It is not all that hard to suppress testosterone without doing an orchiectomy. How does one suppress the function of a pre-pre-cancerous colon without surgery?

While surgery was optimal for me, without using any pre-surgical testosterone suppression method, very few people have forms of familial adenomatous polyposis and the associated appropriate surgery-first life-sparing need that I had.

Obviously, in the extensive research leading to your conclusions you have never bothered to read Wolfgang Pauli's original publication or learned anything about quantum theory; otherwise you would know that the Pauli Exclusion Principal applies only to a selected class of sub-atomic particles called fermions; there is another entire class of particles, bosons, that are not affected by the Pauli Exclusion Principal and do in fact occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.

The Pauli Exclusion Principal explains, among other things, the arrangement of electrons around an atomic nucleus and especially the filling of the d- and f-suborbitals. It is extremely useful for accounting for the differences in color of liquid solutions of transition metals like vanadium and the chemical similarities of the lanthanoid and actinoids elements; it is wonderfully powerful for explaining how a muddy green solution of spent uranium salts from a nuclear reactor can be separated into a yellow uranyl-containing layer and a lovely sky-blue layer of plutonium nitrate. It does not have much immediate applicability to the contents of anyone's scrotum.

Do I have regrets? Yes and no. Not that I really had a choice. Testicular torsion ultimately tends to force the urologists hand. So I have no testicles as a result. I enjoy not having balls because after the last one was removed I noticed that they really had been in the way. Now I enjoy the freedom of there being nothing to sit on or crush in any way. I am on Androgel 1.62 but I have found that it is not the same as the testosterone you produce yourself. My testosterone level is at 575 now, but I have erectile and libido/desire issues which I never used to have. Also the copay for the Androgel is very high and I fear that I will not be able to afford it when I retire some day. So, as regards my sex life I would rather have my balls than be on HRT.

It apears that when testosterone is produced naturally, many different testosterone precursors and substances similar to testosterone are produced that affect your body differently. take for example Androstenedione which levels in eunuchs are very low: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androstenedione

Androstenadione is generally higher in eunuchs since it doesn't get converted into male or female hormones.

But, I am asking about regrets about castration, and it doesn't sound like either of you regret losing your balls. I am talking about eunuchs that are sorry their balls are gone, that admit to making a foolish decision and regrets it. Please don't hijack this thread discussing testicle injection techniques.

Is there anyone out there that was sexually excited, that got a hard-on when thinking about being castrated and about other men being castrated that then got castrated in a sexual scene, and now regrets doing it? Does anyone know of anyone like that?

Over the years we have know those that come in here and then get themselves castrated for the thrill of it, then the regret and there gone, they never stay. I guess its a constant reminder of their mistake.

You will find that yes us OLD Timers have been through this and we have done the banding and injections and finally when all else failed we did it right, we speak from experience, there is nothing I repeat NOTHING that you think you can do that one or more of us have not already tried.

If you want to be castrated take it on a test drive, meaning a chemical castration drug, take it for a year so you know what its going to be like, then if you like the results have it done by a doctor.

Getting yourself castrated so you can start HRT is not smart, natural testosterone is much better then any alternative.

Good Luck

Well put River, There is life in the old dog in Hawaii yet! Over the years I have tried all sorts too. I have always been serious about it and would not embark on a journey to regret it because I had not given it due consideration.

There is a lot of sexual arousal and fantasy associated with castration which is an enormous paradox. The ultimate (literally) orgasm before you lose them!

I must confess that I find pictures of men without no sack and balls very erotic. In fact more so than men with them!!

I don't think my personal driver is sexual desire. Or put another way when I tried to castrate myself I did not have a massive hard on! In spite of taking Depro and had done many injections to the testes I could still get an erection if I wanted. So for me it is/was not sexual.

Personally I do find it staggering that someone would want this one time sexual encounter. If you have not thought about this beforehand and the implications. if the orgasm was so intense I dare say one would regret it because it is one time experience and unrepeatable! I am pretty certain that one would regret eating the forbidden fruit!

If sexual gratification was the driver. What next to top it? Regret is almost inevitable.

Having said all that there are those who get aroused by the ultimate act of surrender and submission and remain happy as submissive to whomever they did it for and remain content.

it is not easy and thinking about it raises many complex questions as complex as the diversity of people who enter this sanctuary.

Of course you might think my reasoning is absolute bollocks (pun intended!!) but they are just my thoughts.

There are a few who regret, I am sure. But the most of us are very happy. There is always some small part that you wished did not happen. For me, I wished I had not lost as much strength. You always have to accept the disliked parts with the liked parts.
