• How did you adapt to becoming a eunuch?

I wanted my testicles removed, and I was extremely happy when it was done. However, I couldn't think that I would someday want the rest of the male marks between my legs.

I received testosterone replacement and was not told no other options. First the gel for a couple of months and then the Nepido injections. I have had problems

with blood values and testo values. The injection interval has practically stretched from the initial 12 weeks to more than 20 weeks. When I noticed that my breasts

looked bigger I wanted them to grow more. I have never liked hair on my body and about a year after castration I went for laser hair removal. I realized the end of last

year the end of gender dysphoria. I have now been without testosterone replacement for almost a year and I would be ready for the sexchange process.

As a long term eunuch, Ive come appreciate my low testosterone and absence of a significant libido. On a low dose of testosterone, I have enough left to pay attention to my partner, who as a post menopausal woman, is fine with and even appreciative of no vaginal stimulation.

I would prefer that she went on hormones. I think that this would improve her well-being and not consider herself old (or act that way), which shes not.

The dilemma that I face is if this happens, is how does she become sexually satisfied with me as her libido increases? I cannot give her that hard, large penis that she would want again. Im considering that I suggest she look for such sexual outlets elsewhere, where she can get that satisfaction I can longer no longer provide. I know that I would be OK with it if she would feel comfortable with it too. Are there other eunuchs here who feel the same way?

No idea for certain, but from the little I've heard, female hormones don't have nearly the same effect of making a woman horny as male hormones do a guy... (I can certainly say that being on E doesn't make ME horny...) They also supposedly don't regain the vaginal elasticity, etc. that they need to enjoy penetrating sex... So you might not have that big of a problem to deal with...

Even if she does turn into a sex maniac, it would seem like you could always still do all the fun things that don't involve penetration, or possibly resort to using a 'strap-on'....

That said, my GF currently has enough medical issues that in some ways she's worse off than I am. But back when I first got hurt, and realized I wasn't 'functional' any longer, I told her that I wouldn't object to her looking elsewhere for fun... She never took me up on it, but I suppose she could.

There was lot of identity in having testicles, at least for me for identifying as a man. I went four weeks without artificial testosterone after surgery and I was already at castrate levels before surgery too, for how long, I don’t know, but when my levels crashed completely my mental well-being took a nose dive.

I think I during the period of being complete hormone free did feel somewhat depressed, though not in a state which required intervention from my GP, but I did occasionally question myself, why I wanted this and why I did this to myself (I damaged my nuts warranted their removal) in the end I felt like shit being without hormones, and it was a relief getting on testogel, although artificial T isn’t as strong as natural produced testosterone. My latest bloodtest showed 20.1nmol done one week ago, and I feel quite good now, libido is low and manageable, I’m not driven by my dick anymore as there can be several days between I’m masturbating, reducing or eliminating my extreme libido was my reason for wanting to be castrated.

I do identify myself as a Eunuch now not openly towards others but to myself. It did take time for me to come this far in acceptance, but I’m actually feeling good about myself, finally. However I also know that I don’t want to live my life as a classical Eunuch meaning completely free of any hormones. I might chose to lower my T level, but only after I have managed to lose these extra 20 pounds I gained during my period of low T.

Just came across this thread again, and read all the replies to the question “how did you adapt to becoming a Eunuch” and especially reading my own reply almost a year ago, and my apparent struggle to come to terms with reality of being a Eunuch back then.

Well almost a year has passed, and today I couldn’t be more happy about my status, not that i day in and day out go around thinking of myself as a Eunuch, not at all, after all it’s just a label like every other thing in life. But I’m more than comfortable about it, and love being able to control myself a lot better than before I was snipped, that is to control my hormone levels as a castrate.

Don’t know if it makes sense?

Transition was really easy for me. I had wanted to be castrated from the time I was a little boy and raised on a farm. I knew what castration was at an early age. there was no internet in the 50's and thru the late 60's. when I got castrated I lay down one minute and 45 minutes got up a new eunuch. I was extremely happy to have finally been castrated. but life went from having nuts to no nuts and I just never thought about the difference. I was happy and that is all that mattered.

Biggest adaption I had to make was figuring out the best way to keep my underwear out of the 'work area' when catheterizing... The balls weren't much use for anything else, but they made a good 'doorstop' and paperweight to hold the underpad in place... Now I have to try to do more 'adjusting' which is a bit of a pain, and stuff the underpad into the underwear leg opening.... Oh the joys of having a neurogenic bladder!

For me, I took to it like a duck to water. It's only been a couple years but I've adapted pretty well I think, the no-hormones vs estrogen HRT states are pretty clear cut and they've got their benefits and drawbacks. I'm pretty young so I adapt to the low-hormone situation when I stop HRT pretty quick, get hot flashes for maybe a week before things shake out. Doesn't really impact my libido much, but then again I hadn't had a testosterone-dominant state for a couple years before I even GOT neutered so I might just not remember much of it. Personally I'm okay with that, I do really enjoy the horniness being a fully-voluntary thing instead of a mandatory itch I gotta scratch every day or so, I enjoy getting off on my own time and a neutral or estrogen-dominant orgasm is almost always better feeling than a testosterone-dominant one even if they don't happen as often. It's kinda just how I am now, so it doesn't really register me if I don't think about it much. I'm happy with where I am now regardless of where transition-or-not takes me, and any life-extending side effects I haven't lived long enough to experience yet, but it'd be a nice bonus down the line if so.

Because of my injury and the risks that go with it already, going hormone free is even less advisable for me than it is for most. But it didn't make sense to me if I wanted to get rid of Testosterone driven urges to replace the natural T factories with a can of T gel...

So I ended up using Estradiol patches, and while (unlike some other members) I'm not happy about the bigger boobs I've gotten as a result, they are tolerable, and otherwise I'm happy with the results of being on it...

I'm also not wanting to come out of the 'eunuch closet' because of the questions and perceptions you mention, with the addition of not wanting to get put in the 'gay camp' - not because of any objections to it, but simply because I'm not...

I don't feel that my decision to go with estrogen for hormone replacement is going to out me from the eunuch closet...

I was looking at your info at the bottom and it said that they had you on a very low starter dose of estrogen and then they doubled it after you stopped the lupron. Did you feel better from the increased estrogen? Or was it just a concern about bone health?

Pretty much just bone health... Basically the doc wants me at around the 125 pg/mL level, which she says is the 'average' for a pre-menopausal cis-female, and has been adjusting the dose up and down depending on my test results. I'm actually now back on the 0.1mg / day patch, as that seems to be all I need to keep the level where she wants it. I can't say that I've noticed a lot of difference in how I felt on the different doses.

I'm only about 5 weeks in. So I guess I'm still becoming a eunuch. So far so good. Wife and I love it so far. She greatly appreciates the changes castration has brought, so far...
