I didn't find this site until many years after castration. During those years my own life has been a good and very fulfilling one with no regrets whatsoever.

I have found this site to be an exemplary place of like minded folks who share their lives, concerns and stories with others to help along lifes journey.

What a noble thing to be some small help for another who you don't know nor may ever meet. Many come and glean what they can to move forward,

once achieving that have other desires and move on. It is such a grand thing to have seen through the many posts that folks get the help they need

and are then able to move on in their lives. Since finding this site I keep coming back for the camaraderie and the hope of making just one more bright

spot in somebodies life. As for me, I'll keep coming back and look forward to attending the next MOM. Everybody who continues to come in here

seems genuine to me and I hope the site continues for many years to come.

I suspect that the way people use this site changes depending where they are on their journey.

I’ve been lurking here for years, interested in peoples stories (real life - not the fiction ones!) but never quite feeling ready to do anything myself. Then last year I decided that it was time, so I registered and have spent a busy few months using the forum for research and asking lots of questions.

Now that I’ve started my chemical castration journey I find that I’m spending a little less time here, just logging in once or twice a day to see what’s new, maybe make a post or two, and sometimes add to my blog.

Who knows how much I’ll be here in a year or five years time. I might find that at some point I move on with my life, but hopefully I will have left an interesting account of my journey, and maybe a few useful answers to questions people may have. I’ve certainly found some of the posts left by people long gone to be very helpful.

Conspicuously absent from this thread is any acknowledgement of those who comitted suicide after their castration, I am specifically referring to The Fraj, a name and story familiar to many. I am not saying he committed suicide because of his castration, only that he commited it after. If this community is to be honest with itself we must admit that among the many reasons that drive men to castration is depression and a variety of other dysphorias. And hopefully the information on this site will help men decide on castration for the right reason. In the end castration is a choice and for many men it sets them free. Yet for others it didnt solve their problem. So let us take a moment to remember those who dissapeared because they are no longer alive.

The Fraj is alive and well, just not on this site. That whole incident was triggered by a "Dead Man Switch" he had on his PC, which went off while he was ill for a while, not related to castration.

Then I am mistaken. I seem to remember a prominent suicide on these message boards, it never left my mind. And reminded me that castration isnt something to be undertaken lightly.

I would suspect that this site probably has saved a few lives by trying to bring to those who might act on a fantasy how it is serious and permanent not something to be acting on if just a fantasy. I know I and many others have directed others to be patient, try chemical. If it is only a sexual fantasy don’t do it seek help and some will listen to reason others won’t.

It wasn't until I retired and had time away from everyday thoughts, responsibilities and obligations that I became focused and consumed by my thoughts of castration, which lurked in my mind since puberty. Initially, my reason for joining EA was to explore that which I truly desired as a possible reality. The information and experiences shared on here nudged me to move ahead to become a eunuch, after asking many questions, and seeking and receiving private message support from others with like-minded situations as mine.

It has been less than a year since I was fully castrated in two operations 10 months apart. I cannot express in words how happy I am to have proceeded to finally become a eunuch, and all the information and support from others on here. It is unlikely that I would have proceeded to becoming a eunuch were it not for the EA community, and the diverse experiences expressed here.

Like my username evolving from nutless2b to nutless1, my focus has shifted to giving back to the community. Like Begoneboy, I enjoy the camaraderie that is not possible locally or inin an ongoing manner, and the hope that I too can make someone's day and desire bright by that which sharing my experiences can offer. And it is my hope that I will be able to attend future MOM gathering(s).

It would be great to meet folks face to face who've shared the experience and be able to see the many different end results.

As for me my end results vary greatly from many in here. That is the beauty of it all. It is very personal to each of us in our

own way and we each strive for our own individual results. As for me, I was never this happy in my youth. There is nothing

about my journey that I would have changed including the end result that many in here might not appreciate. But then again

just as many would. EA wasn't a place I found until well after the many changes that have taken place in my life. I am glad that

I found the forum eventually for no other reason than to share with both my own experiences and those of many others. So many

of the topics are not things we talk about very often other than in here. While those who are in the transgender/transexual community

have many places to go to it is this small eunuch community who have very few places to share and learn with/from.

While I don't consider that I am transgendered or anything like that it becomes extremely rare to find a place as accepting of the

eunuch of all walks. Sure, I now present more female than male. That has to do with too much of this or that during my life.

But I am still the individual I was born which was to me neither male nor female. Many in the EA are truly manly men and I love

to see that. There are also many who are not quite so many but all man none the less. And there are even a few of the female

persuasion lurking but the information and experiences they glean from others in here may just save their lives and then they

disappear into their new lives. Good for those results as this is what I personally consider part of the success of EA.

In the end we can all celebrate every life that is not taken either by self or others. THAT IS THE SUCCESS of sites like EA.

This a truly sustaining community, and I am sure it has many times encouraged the poorly informed or doubtful to choose wisely.

This doesn't just happen. Please, an appreciative shout-out to the good folks who keep this zoo going!

All the same, I have noticed many seemingly good folks disappear, and I wish them well.

One can only wonder what became of the "regulars" from a while back.

For what it's worth, we lost a few active posters when we closed the political forums. And NO, they aren't coming back!
