Some get depressed and put on a lot of weight, while others cope with the loss of their testicles. It is also very dependent on a TRT. Castation is not the ideal solution for everyone. For me, the advantages of a castration clearly outweigh any disadvantages. But I can only speak for myself.

Even though medical reasons ultimately motivated me to undergo castration, I was lucky to have many years to get used to the idea that I should follow through with the advice of several doctors that I should consider losing my balls. I have had no regrets after 20 years. I still identify as a gay male. While I don't reveal my castration to any but my partner and several close friends, I don't hide it either. I'm a nudist and literally thousands of folks have seen me nude. Just being free of testicular is the ultimate advantage. I was also advised that castration would have no impact sexually as long as I was on a TRT regime, and I can report that the advice was correct for me. The only change is that my ejaculate became thin in consistency and clear. I'm as sexual as ever, perhaps even more so as a result of testicular pain. My empty sac has become one of most erogenous zones (I'm aware that the area near the base of my cock would continue to be very sensitive even if the scrotum were removed).

Your sexual activity is great news. Due to childhood abuse I have a desire to be emasculated. Have had extensive counselling and medical advice and been on Androcur 100mg and estrofem 2mg for 12 months. Felt absolutely great, calm. Testosterone was 3 ng/dL (should greater than 264) estradiol 1138 (should be less than 35). I stopped in March as I have had consultation with surgeon for a scrotectomy, and was booking in for the operation when Covid hit.

effects of chemical castration for me were no libido, testicular atrophy, breasts, loss of body hair, All of which with the wonderful mental calmness, were good things. No depression at all. I was worried about breast size, but I actually love them, especially very erogenous nipples. Slight weight gain was a bit boring, but working on that. I loved the bigger butt.

No desire to be a woman.

But I have been questioning the libido after the scrotectomy, so your libido news is great. Do you know your T and E levels whilst on TRT and how sensitive are they to any TRT adjustments. Can you really keep your TRT at a constant acceptable level.

The other reason I ask, is that I stopped Androcur 6 months ago and now feel twitchy and irritable. About to go back on the Androcur. I dont want to feel the way I feel now, after the scrotectomy and then taking TRT

Interesting other comment on all males age 45 should have option to castrate. I absolutely agree. My counsellor specialises in childhood abuse victims and she says it should be compulsory! - tongue in cheek!

I have to agree that different men react differently both physically and emotionally. I never had the oft quotes side effects such as mood swings, depression, hot flashes, etc. Part of that can be attributed to the gradual decline to ultimate castrate levels of testosterone years prior to my castration. I do have a friend who has prostate cancer and took my advice to go the surgical route rather than ADT shots and blood tests ever 90 days. He did and he went through some depression and regret as well as other side effects. However, after about a year he stabilized and is doing fine now.

I was already happy with the chemical castration (Besides the strange side effects I had from it) so surgical castration caused no regrets fpr me. The side effects got less not taking the antiandrogens anymore.

The penectomy was a little different. During the first few months there were times when it was more like a "wtf I hope i will not regret this"-feeling, because it felt so different. But I am very happy with it now (especially after the cosmetic revision) so no regrets...

I’m curious to know you can articulate what surprised you about your penectomy or what the feeling was that made you question your choice? Since I’m seriously considering going down that path, I’m very interested in the experiences of people who been there and done that.

As an enby, i can totally see your point of view. My motivation for enby transition - which is just chemical castration with estrogen monotherapy - is the total removal of my maleness without becoming a woman: in other words, a feminized eunuch. I am even looking at facial electrolysis now for permanent removal of facial hair. I rather suspect I'll bring up orchiectomy with my GP once I have completed a year's worth of CC and those ugly little glands have been killed off.

Better lover, more attentive to wife’s pleasure over own. Orgasms are not as intense but last much longer and are felt throughout the body. No chance of pregnancy, More comfortable, especially after the scrotum is removed.

Cons: without TRT weight gain, loss of strength. Slightly decreased in cognitive ability, penile shrinkage if not used, breast growth.

Of course much of this is from my own experience and may not apply to anyone else. Many men loose all interest in sex and some have body image issues or feel emasculated. If TRT is not desirable or causes health issues, female hormones (estrogen) helps with many of the cons, but breast will become larger and body fat redistributes to a more feminine shape.

Funny how my wife and many of her female friends who know I’m a Eunuch now believe all men over 45 should be castrated to equalize marital libidos, diminish chances of philandering and just have a happier husband.

I absolutely agree with your wife. As male libido is so easy to regulate and castrating men makes them better in a lot of ways. Some of us even realize that we've been women all along, so for me substituting female hormones has had no negative effects at all.

I did a 3 month trial of Depo Provera back in 2019. I had intended to go 6 months but I stopped early. The only reason I stopped was because I started seeing a girl who I am now fortunate to call my girlfriend of 4 years. As for my trial, I loved most of it. I never experienced any hot flashes and the drop in libido was amazing. I went almost two months without masturbating at one point and I really only did it then out of curiosity. (Side note, that orgasm was truly just blah. Took a good deal of work and honestly just wasn't pleasurable). I did experience some minor sleep issues and while I wasn't as happy go lucky as I normally am, I wasn't depressed either. I had dealt with a small bout of depression a couple months prior to my trial, so I know what depression is and, thankfully, I learned how to manage it. I also noticed I was a bit more emotional. I cried a lot easier, but I was also dealing with the loss of a friend, so that added to it.

Based on my experience, I do plan on eventually being physically castrated, although I'll likely do another chemical trial first. Like others have pointed out, if you plan on going without hormones, jumping to surgery without a chemical castration trial is ill-advised. At that point you're more into the loss of your testicles than you are being a eunuch.

I think it always depends on what you want to achieve with your castration. For example, if you want to get to a testosterone level through your surgical castration that is equivalent to the level after castration without HRT, a test run with chemical castration makes sense. You can get to this level very easily, as far as I know. However, if you want to simulate what it feels like to take small amounts of testosterone gel after your surgical castration, it will be difficult to achieve that with chemical castration. In any case, I have yet to find anyone who has been able to very finely adjust the amount of anti-androgens or LHRH antagonists, although I clearly told the urologists that I would like to do a test run before my surgical castration.

I would not have any regrets with total penectomy and castration as long as it included total removal with proper urethra relocation. Would even be comfortable with moderate breast growth.
