For me it was stupidity, but I know some people who like the look/feel of not having any nuts down there, I know some people who its a sexual thing or fantasy for either them or there partners and are still interested in sex and sexual relations. I know a guy who was MTF but decided after getting castrated that it wasnt for him. I know one person who got it on a whim while in Mexico.

There are a LOT of reasons why someone would want them gone but would still want T.

On a whim? Do tell more!

No we don't want names...

I heard opinion of the person (nullo): it would be possible to keep testicles only for the reason as natural testosterone is better also free .

I never had anything against testosterone as it is necessary hormone for nullo considering itself the man.

the story I got told [with evidence that he did get castrated] was something along the lines of "college vacation and being drunk with idiot friends who suggested it", which should give you an idea of what happened

I believe I'd have to question the ethics of any professional who would castrate a drunk college boy. Especially one that drunk!

I suspect whatever the truth, *if* the guy was cool with it the elaboration might indicate that 'plausible deniability' instinct... Yet another reason for mainstreaming the community, so just saying 'I wanted to get castrated so I signed up' doesn't have to take courage or be sidestepped around in future conversations.

Many (a majority?) of the stories in the fiction archive are told from the standpoint of the person castrated. They are of the sort of “what (I want to have) happened to me”. They mostly include some sort of “forced” castration. The stories provide plausible deniability for a person desiring castration in that it happened to him unexpectedly or by force. This same general theme was found in Male-to-Female fiction before it became medically (and somewhat socially) accepted. I expect that the fiction themes will begin to change after the WPATH Standards of Care, v.8 is released and voluntary castration gradually becomes much more accepted.

Aw heck. I was developing a story in my mind where a guy got a Mexican gf, one thing led to another and a lady ranchera on their first trip to Mexico forced a castration on him. Now I have to change it in anticipation. Kind of interesting pondering the changes.

One of the things I commented on to Jesus about the paper he wrote about the common themes in the stories is that if the 'involuntary forced' plot theme goes away, I don't know what will replace it...

It seems to me that something like "I wanted to get fixed, so I made an appointment at the clinic after jumping through the SOC8 hoops, showed up and they chopped my balls off" sort of lacks a lot in the way of melodrama...
