I am definitely not recommending anyone use a cutter. However, as difficult as it is to find a willing surgeon men are still going to take the risk. The procedure itself is remarkably simple (I have posted a video on my blog) and yet if the vessels are not securely ligated and sterility is not meticulously maintained it could end in disaster. It's simply time for the medical community to recognize MtE as a legitimate gender preference and cutters will be relegated to history. Personally I never wanted to become a Eunuch but I'm now very happy as one and have empathy for those who legitimately desire to be rid of their balls.

In 2020 it's much easier to find a doctor who can help than it is to find a cutter. I know of far more people in the last 5 years who were castrated by a legitimate surgeon than I do those who have used the services of a non-medically licensed person. The fact of the matter is, these days, t
when there are so many surgeons willing to help. This was not the case when I was castrated. I've been called a hypocrite for using a cutter back in 2005 and now advocating the use of a surgeon, by people seeking help to lose their testicles now.
Newsflash: There was little to no access to legitimate surgeries to remove our otherwise unwanted but healthy balls back in 2005. The one option I can think of was so old and frail, he had to stop. The only other I know of remotely close to that time was arrested and put into prison for doing unauthorized surgeries after one of his patients died. Everyone else was a cutter. Now the opposite is true, there may be one or two cutters working (at least in the USA), but the legitimate options far outweigh the non-medical options.
Simply put, there is no reason to be seeking the services of a cutter now. There are so many better options available, I keep hoping to hear those who are still cutters are no longer performing these surgeries.
So if you're considering being castrated at this point, do yourself a huge favor and find a doctor willing to help. Compared to 15 years ago, they're all over now, at least in the USA.

I always thought a retired veterinarian would be the best bet. Friends of ours were in practice together. One did large and exotic animals, he castrated elephants, and she was a small animal vet. They had so much experience castrating. I would definitely trust her to castrate me rather than a urologist.

Why would anyone want to castrated an elephant?

Many captive elephants are castrated. You dont think they would let us do the things we do to them in circuses and zoos if they weren't. They are castrated when they hit puberty basically.

All I know is what I read here about the difficulties finding a willing doctor and the hoops men have to jump through, not to mention the expense. Yet if what you say is true and there are many willing doctors I suppose it's by far better to save money, think long and hard about an irreversible procedure and do it safely. Although my orchiectomy was technically elective there was a well established medical reason to have both dead testicles removed. Now I do know the doctor in North Carolina who removed my scrotum deals primarily in SRS and she does advertise MtE castrations yet still requires the psychological screening and letters. I think she charges about $3k for an orchi and scrotal removal, which seems pretty reasonable (I paid about $1200 just for the sack to be removed).
I do hope you are right because I can imagine the risks of getting your nuts removed in some seedy hotel room by a guy with no real medical training and questionable techniques and sterility.

I had Dr. Murray Kimmel in Philadelphia who was a urologist castrate me in 2004. He was a very competent and legitimate surgeon. Everything went smoothly and there were no complications. Yeah it was slim pickins back then compared to now. I would definitely advise anyone considering an orchiectomy to have it done by a legitimate surgeon and not by a cutter. Castrating animals is completely different than castrating humans. Animals are not given anesthesia and with people it is mandatory. Get it done the safe way.
