Eunuchs and Emotion

eunuchs must complain a lot then

Yoli here...I should be but noooooooo, I'm

Stayed up all night to finish and send some stuff to the office. Have also sent word I "may not" be in today.

Anyway, having known a very nice eunuch for a few years now and having ample opportunity to "observe" him during that period, I feel I can safely say that he seems an emotionally well-balanced person. Just to make certain my assessment is pretty much accurate, however, I called him last night to "go over some things" to see if I was off the mark. Result? I guess I nailed it.

Barry says that his tendency to "Cry at weddings", as he puts it, has somewhat increased, but gradually, post-snip. He feels he's leveled off but admits to a noticeable (to him, anyway,) shift when he takes a dose of HRT.

He says it's reminiscent of the way he was during his adolescence and early adulthood. He says he was somewhat "feisty" then and he senses a return to that when he's got some T in his system. He states that it's not nearly so pronounced or prone to surface, however.

In intimate situations he's sort of an amalgam; Not totally effeminate...not totally "all-male". I guess I'd define it as a mix of behavior I'm accustomed to when making love with Ash(leigh), an 75% lipstick lesbian/25% hetero if ever there was one, and a gentle but definitely non-wimpy intact guy...like BigGuy.

In many ways, Barry reacts to certain emotional stimuli in virtually the same manner as I. It's like having a guy friend and close sister all rolled into one person.

There is one difference I'll have to mention; It's wayyyyyy easier to trip my temper trigger than it is to light Barry's fuse. He refers to me as "The Hellcat" :kittygray now and then.

Well, that's my serious post for the week.

Love to a...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Do eunuchs feel more emotions than intact men? Recently I was told by a non-eunuch that testosterone has an emotion-blocking effect. I would have to say this appears true from my experiences with men.

If the testosterone subsides, then does a eunuch know more love, sadness, exhilaration, fear, interest in non-sexual things?

Yes, my late husband was a eunuch for many years. After he was castrated he was much more emotional, gentle, caring, affectionate, loving, and felt more fear.

I haven't been castrated yet. Just had my testosterone level measured as part of my physical.

Results:

Testosterone 650 ng/dL

Free Testosterone 64.2 pg/mL

apparently pretty typical for a male teen or young adult like me.

Personality wise I'm considered very sensitive, emotional (EMO), artistic, laid back, and hating any kind of conflict or drama. I also cry quite easy when happy or see something bad or good happen to others, very empathetic.

I'm floating in excess T and have a high level of T in general. Seems I respond emotioally like what some would call in "eunuch calm". Likely my personality is something more genetic than hormonal (btw, I'm pure Native American genetically; not sure if that and my upbringing has anything to do with it).

I became far more mellow. I did feel a little more emotional. I lost some of my "get up and go" drive. I gained weight. However, my wife insists I became a far better lover when my desire to please her came before my own satisfaction.
