For me and my wife that was exactly our experience. Was odd at first not thinking about sex but after a year or so became a way of life.

So, I'm curious to ask since you said your experience was like the guy in the article. He said he still thinks about sex occasionally and feels like he wants to, but his body just can't do it. Is that how it is for you? You still occasionally want it, but you just can't so you don't bother?

The closest I can describe what I really want is a sex drive and sexuality closer to that of a woman. I don't want to have erections, I don't want an overbearing sex drive like have now but would like to still desire and enjoy physical intimacy with my wife (minus anything involving my penis being erect or penetrating her).
I am chemically castrated. I can't get erections. I don't have a need for orgasm - only maybe once every 3 months or so. But I thoroughly enjoy cuddling, kissing, being physically intimate every night ... all with a small soft penis.
As for preventing feminization, there are many posts on the subject already. I will simply say, I use an anti-estrogen raloxifene for that purpose with good results.

I have naturally low T (trying to get chemically castrated) and fairly low sex drive. I rarely have erections and also don't need to have orgasms. It takes at least 10 minutes of masturbating and I guess it's just not worth it. My wife and I also do a lot of touching and cuddling. I wonder if it works both ways. Having low sex drive may make us more physical through nonsexual touching, but could it be that nonsexual touching actually reduces sex drive? She's always the one to initiate sex on the rare occasions when we do have it and I'm always happy to comply. But both of us feel quite fulfilled where we agree that we'd be fine if we never had sex again.

I have been surgically castrated almost exactly a year ago. I have been on a low dosage of estrogen since then, which caused some minor feminization (e.g. fat redistribution to upper thighs).
As for erections: I do still have erections from time to time, if I am highly aroused, and also (but rarely) in the morning or at night, usually with full bladder. I also have pollutions, almost as regularly as I had before castration.
Although, even at full erection, the size is smaller than before, I would estimate two thirds in length and diameter.
So If you want to have absolutely NO erections, in my opinion this cannot be reached trough hormonal changes (i.e. removal of testosterone), maybe only with high dosages of female hormones, with all the feminizing side effects. As alternative, one might consider sclerosing the penis. Although, I do not know what negative side effects, beyond irreversible loss of erectility, that may have and if you can find a doctor willing to provide that procedure.

What do you mean by pollutions?

For those who still have a sex life, minus the use of their impotent penis, how would you describe what you feel during lovemaking? Do you still feel aroused mentally, but your body just doesn’t do anything? Do you still feel something emotionally or mentally when pleasing your partner?

I have long hated having erections, it's one of the main reasons I would like to try chemical castration. However, I do enjoy kissing, caressing, and touching my wife. I guess I am afraid that if I had no sex drive I wouldn't even think about doing those things anymore. And I'm not sure how I would feel if that were no longer something I found desirable. I guess I'm afraid that removing my sex drive entirely would make for a very boring life.
I have been chemically castrated for many years now after a period of using Androcur, supplemented simultaneously with Tamoxifen to prevent feminization and osteoporosis. I did not have any sex drive -- in terms of erections, wish for penetration, wish for any climax. But I and my partner still enjoy kissing, caressing, cuddling, etc. etc. without needing any attention to my penis.
