Curiousity is killing the cat...
Hi Cast,
Sure a burdizzo castration is what you want? My hat is off to you. You will find many people here understand your passionate need, and most of them will also tell you patience is a lifesaving virtue. As is stated here over and over: Experiences vary. Just be sure you've examined all the options as carefully as possible.
No matter how you feel about postponing your castration, (and believe me, I postponed mine for decades), I can assure you that a test drive using an anti-androgen is a good option before altering your body permanently. There are long-term mental and physical consequences to castration, depending upon whether or not you choose HRT, (either testosterone or estrogen). Some people (yours truly), find their bodies cannot tolerate HRT in any fashion. Luckily, I wouldn't go near testosterone today for love nor money.
I was castrated by Dr Kimmel, and now that it's done I don't care much about the "aesthetics" I once thought so important. I'm a eunuch, there's nothing in there and I'm MUCH happier this way. However, read the archives; there are others who ended up regretting their action to the point of suicide.
Nothing before or after has changed my life so radically as castration. It opened many more doors than it closed, and if you want to share experiences, I'll be happy to do so privately.
Best of luck to you and my wishes for a healthy and happy outcome.
Eunuch Greg
