Long time ago I did research on male reproductive endocrine system, but I have forgot many details since. But, to be short, there are little known precursors of testosterone and other stuff that facilitate erections. There are other less noticeable functions that might stop to work without testicles and on pure testosterone.

I don't know if there is any relation, but some men loose ability to get erection after loosing testicles, while some do not. It might be genetic feature. As myself, I remember that I was able to get hard and masturbate to orgasm long before puberty, since I was 8yo, when I discovered masturbation. And during my chemcastration periods I still could get it up and have orgasms, even when my T dropped to 17ng/dl. The only difference was frequency that dropped from twice a day to few times a month and time to orgasm, from few minutes to 20-30 minutes.

Same with me now after being on Finasteride (5 mg) on a daily basis for almost 1 year.

And also having been in a chastity device since quite some years ago ...

Never took something chemical like "Androcur" or similar - besides some herbal estradiols

for a while.

Should I try this out ... and what to benefit or expect from it in this my state now ....?!?

For me after my castration,I originally was prescribed Androgel, I think four daily pumps, but I never was aroused enough for sex, particularly because my now deceased wife was asexual. Then, when I reached the American Congresses drug “donut hole “, making Androgel very expensive, I switched to IM Testosterone, which is inexpensive, even without any drug insurance. My libido shot through the roof and I felt that I was

18 years old again.

Over the past ten years as a eunuch, my urologist has lowered my testosterone because of an increasing PSA score and enlarged prostate. My penis in now normally 1-2 inches in size. I also have been taking 5mg of Finasteride to decrease my prostate for the past six weeks.m, which she said won’t fully manifest results until three months. Despite my weekly injection of 100mg of T, my libido is almost nil and I get zero erections. I suggested to my post menopausal partner that I could take Cialis whenever she wanted vaginal sex but she declined, telling me that she didn’t want me to pump her for half an hour, while I attempted to ejaculate.

I've seen many reports of post menopausal partners not really being into vaginal sex, and it's even a somewhat common motive for guys to get in order to not be frustrated by her lack of interest... The suggestion I've seen is to give up on penetration / vaginal sex and do other things that can also be fun, possibly taking a hint from the sorts of things that lesbians do and paying more attention to the other parts of your body than the .... Lots of folks say it works really well, and saves the stress of worrying about whether you can get an erection or not...

As Wheelyfixed sait, for those searching for something else in shared sexuality with a women there is more than vaginal sex. Sexuality that still make you feel good, as a man, about having sex.

There are studies on sexuality and masculinity and I found that one.

Here you'll have some hints reading the abstact and possibly the entire article if you can have access to a university library.

For the rest you'll need a partner that still want to have some sex, that I wish.

Thanks for posting the abstract.

I read it and it corresponds to how I feel about my masculinity. As I had written before, my post menopausal girlfriend no longer wants penetrative sex; however, the reason why I ask her about it occasionally is to reassure myself that it’s truly how she feels, rather than some misplaced notion of hers that I no longer can satisfy her this way. If she was to use a personal vibrator to satisfy her sexual needs instead that would make me feel that I was sexually inadequate for her, but she doesn’t so I take her word that my caressing her and cuddling her at night is truly what she wants from me as her sexual partner.

There is legitimate medical reason for her not to be into vaginal sex, so I would be inclined to believe her, especially if she is happy w/ cuddling and external stimulation.... According to much of what I've read, post menopausal women produce a lot less of the lubricating juices that help things slide back and forth w/o excessive friction. In many cases the vaginal tissues also loose a lot of elasticity, so stretching to accommodate a penis is less comfortable. Some say that generous use of KY or other lubricants can help, but others say it does more for him than it does for her... There are also the hormonal changes that go w/ menopause which supposedly reduce a lot of the 'urge'....

You also mentioned earlier about her not wanting you 'pumping away on her for a half hour' - I don't know if my GF is typical, but back before I was hurt and she hadn't hit menopause, she would reach a point where even though I was more than willing to continue my attentions, she felt she had had enough and wanted me to stop... It's possible that she may be getting to that 'done' point sooner than you are...

She said that she wouldn’t mind if I was able to “spurt” quickly in her but she’s OK without me not needing to do it, knowing that I love her and care for her sexually in other ways. She mentioned to me recently that men previously in her life felt themselves entitled to have vaginal sex with her whenever they wanted it, which, at times, made her feel resentful and less as a real partner but more of a sex vessel to them, and that my being castrated has allowed her to say that she didn’t want it and that it wont change our loving relationship, since my low sexual urges doesnt me act this way and focuses me more on her desires.

She speaks about getting hormone replacement medicine someday in the future but doesn’t seem to in a rush about getting it.

"Wouldn't mind" doesn't sound to me like the same as "really want".... Obviously not knowing you other than online, and not knowing her at all, I'm not in a great position to judge, but from what you say, it sounds to me like she is happy with what you are doing now, and if you were sure she was, you would be happy as well...

I'd say take her word for it, and don't try to fix what isn't broke...

This is incredibly sweet ��
