Reducing the likelihood of prostate cancer isn't the only life-prolongling effect of castration. Chemical castration has been a great stress reducer. I get better sleep too, which isn't supposed to be common. Excessive stress also likely prolongs lifespan.
I agree that coming out openly as eunuchs is the quickest route to societal acceptance.

You're right, my bad. And (daifu) I actually do feel more stressed than normal. I'm pretty sure that's because my T levels are too high. I am going through a drug-free period and my first CaCl2 injection didn't do enough damage. Feeling less stressed was one of the most noticeable effects of chemical castration.

The key is don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Do what is right and comfortable for YOU. Who cares what society thinks? More and more people are becoming antisocial which is great. The tide is definitly turning on this. What was considered taboo just a few decades ago is now no big deal. Personally I will be celebrating my 15th anniversary as a eunuch on Feb 25. Best thing I ever did in my entire life. Dr Murray Kimmel performed the orchiectomy. Too bad he is not still around God rest his soul. He was super. Treated me so great and fully understood and was very empathetic. I know there will be a lot more castration surgeons popping up as time goes on. You just need to find out where they are located. They need to keep a rather low profile because of catching heat from the medical profession. But they're definitely out there. If you really want to be castrated then by all means go for it. Do yourself a huge favor. Best thing you'll ever do. Life is too short to put up with the needless garbage of being uncomfortable with your inner self. Don't let ANYTHING stand in your way.
Oh Wow! mattman59 said it all. And the most important I just have to repeat. "

" And that is just what I did in 1994, what was right and comfortable for me. While I didn't then and still don't care what society thinks, society does have a way of controlling how we go about our lives. Remember that society is not local but interacts globally. It was society that caused me to change my identification to read F rather than M in order for me to continue my travels. So yes, we absolutely need to continue our efforts to change the way society reacts and thinks towards Eunuch or Nullo men. Much as the gay crowd's tenacity has manged to change in many ways how society interacts with gay folks.

Lots of men do have a strong family history of prostate cancer. Some of those men would be willing to have early surgeries to reduce their risks and also help accomplish large scale studies. If studies could indicate the ideal reasonable time for men to get castrated or get their prostates removed, many more men would seriously consider doing it. As it is now, not enough is known to give men a better idea of when to have surgery to best prevent PC.
After men finish having kids, their testicles and prostates can be removed since they don t need fertile semen after that. Most men usually have a very short span of years where they use their sperm to impregnate. Most of men s lives are spent trying not to impregnate. Young men could use sperm banking to preserve their sperm at very young ages to get surgery at younger ages well below age 45 to study the effectiveness of younger castrations and prostate removals in large numbers of at risk men.
Removing someone's prostate when there is no cancer is not advisable because it will cause both impotence and incontinence. Not everyone wants to have to wear nappies or walk round with a leg-bag all the time. Almost no man would consider castration any time before about age 40 especially given that prostate cancer tends not to set in until well after that age. Also, hormone treatment slows down the progress of metastatic prostate cancer but it does not stop it totally. A family friend of mine died last year of prostate cancer after having been on hormone treatment (chemical, I think). It's not like with BRCA1 where the preventive removal of the organs in question (breasts and ovaries) cuts the risk of the cancer very drastically.
