Wow, Phillip, that was an amazing post. Thanks you for sharing it. You're a brave person.

well were back

I am thankfull that Tal has saved the most important data for this site and that we can all take part in the rebuilding with new posts and threads.

now to a pertainant post

I can hardly beleive that almost a year ago I was castrated I am a totally different person compaired to the person I was before castration. I am happier I enjoy life more intimately and I give love more freely.

Yes there are draw backs but weighing the drawbacks and the benefits I am certain I made the right decission in becoming a eunuch.

I am Phil-Eunuch in the chatroom and I am willing to answer any questions you have

Could you please elaborate on the draw backs? I find myself thinking more and more about finishing the job that began about six weeks ago (loss of one testicle during emergency surgery). At my age, sex is the far from my active thoughts, and I am learning from others about the eunuch calm and apparently more interest in relationships, etc. I do understand that everyone has different results and reactions; I am just curious what your draw backs were/are.

There are many drawbacks:

.Depression

.Heart disease

.Diabetes

.Osteoporosis

.Depression

.Hot Flashes

.Mood Swings

.Depression

.Being ostricised By family (I've been lucky here but not all are)

I mentioned Depression three times on purpose because it is the most dangerous

Wow!! Do you mean to say that becoming a eunuch causes things like heart disease, diabetes, etc. (as shown on your list), or that it would simiply increase the risk of getting them?

I have read about the significantly increased risk for osteoporosis. Also, I have already experienced some (very low grade, in my opnion) 'hot flashes' since I lost one nut. Things have stablized for the most part now, but we are watching my hormones closely via blood tests, and will continue to do so for a long time into the future, probably at least for a year.

I am not very familiar with depression. I hear a lot of people talk about it. Are there clinical indicators that help one identify depression? Also, I put 'mood swings' in the same category as depression, but that is because I don't know much about either one of them.

Apologies in advance for so many questions. This web site has become a very important resource for me (and I assume others). You've been there, and experienced it, and so you are a very credible information resource.

Thank you.

the heart disease and diabetes stem from the slowed metabolisim of eunuchs. so it is a contributing factor. osteoporosis happens to eunuchs just like it happens to post menupausal women. The drop in hormone levels removes the coding that tells the body to build up the bones and......

Mood swings are just that, one extreme to the other and they happen suddenly. Just like a 40-50 something woman

Depression is caused by many things and amplified by the huge drop in hormone levels. Depression is often (in my experience) the feeling of being worthless and that the world would not miss you. Everyone who has been castrated will tell you that depresion is a fact not a myth the sevarity differs but the fact that it happens is set in stone.

My experience is that slowed metabolism, which occurs with aging in all organisms in any event, can be mitigated. Exercise! Eat less and more healthily. Castration is not necessarily a contributor to heart disease.

My own experience has not included depression.
