Yoli here,

Some might think this belongs in the GenHealth forum but it's more about sexuality post-castration than actual health.

Anyway, since I became aware that at least some eunuchs experience "hot flashes" for a time post-snip I've wanted to know if these "flashes" are actual temperature spikes or simply perceived as such, with no rise in body temp measurable via thermometer or other device.

By now you're thinking "Yoli, you airhead! This DOES belong in the other forum!!!"

Wrong again, silly one, read on...

Once upon a time, when BG was still stationed nearer to San Antonio and WOBG was still the original FUBG, he came home on leave. He found me nearly aswoon (or I so let on;) )from some sort of ailment characterized by a rather elevated body temp. His bride-to-be and Ash(leigh) were fussing about, tending to my every need...save one.

You see, I had taken an Alka-Seltzer Cold Formula fizzy and that caused a most urgent feeling of congestion in my >^..^<. (Take a dose sometime but READ the warnings first!), a condition that could only be remedied by a thorough reaming as administered by BG AFTER some serious oral adoration administered by ANY of the three persons present.

Those who performed the pre-lims (the girls) AND the person administering the drilling all stated that I both tasted (thermally, not like a chili pepper!) and felt HOT. BG, in fact, joked about a "Weenie Roast" when describing the feeling of putting his masculine member into my thweet lil' puthy.

See! I TOLD you this post belonged here!

Read on.

Since I do not have, nor ever had, a I'm dependent on some EA members (or those who love them) to tell me if any of you have had anal sex during a period of post-castration hot flashes. If so, and I suppose I'm addressing the penetrators here, was "it" warmer than normal? Those with empirical evidence; Feel free to elaborate.

I guess I could ask Barry T. Eunuch but he's mad at the world right now and we're giving him a little space for a few day or weeks. I don't feel close enough to the two Houston eunuchs to ask them. That leaves the Thai castrated Ladyboy, but I'm not gonna ask "her" until we are one-on-one and that won't be for at least another week.

Thanks for sharing any FACTUAL info.

Yoli, I am only chemically castrated (Androcur), not sniped, so that might make a difference. I have never consciously experienced any hot flashes (although I have gone through the castration process twice), but I have had violent chills at night. I don't know if was just chills, or if I had had a hot flash without waking, and the chills were just the after effect, but I wake up shivering.

Yoli-

I will try to help answer your question with medical information. Since I have no way to experience hot anal sex, unless a romantic reeming by the fire place counts, (It was even a gas insert and alcoholic ex I had to get outta my life) I will have to rely on boring medical knowledge.

Our brains control temperature through multiple feedback mechanisms, this physiological process is called thermoregulation. (It's been a few years since I strained my eyes over those text books so bare with me.) Anyways when your brain senses an infection, or stress, it (your brain) resets your body temp to a higher degree. During infection, for example, if your temp is 98.5 your brain will reset for a temp of 102.4. Bacteria and viruses like 98.5 and will have a more difficult time in a temp of 102.4. During the process your metabolism will go up, your peripheral blood vessels will constrict and other functions will occur to contain the body heat. At the onset of the process you will feel a chill, even though your temp is 98.5, your brain has told the rest of your body that it is to cold! This is just one way that our bodys fight infection and keep us healthy and happy! That's why when you shiver you know a cold or the flu is coming on with a fever shortly. Hormones also play a part in the process and taking them away will affect how one's body regulates itself.

So to answer your question...if a eunuch feels hot when taking it, well, like a eunuch, it could likely be just his perception of being hot while not really having a fever. His perception being the result of a lack of hormones and the bodys own compensatory mechanisms. I hope I was able to answer your questions and all the explanation doesn't, well...leave you...cold;)

Now we must take your core temperature so hold very, very...very still, don't move even an inch!

I get hot flashes. I've never measured my temperature during one, however. But I do feel hot and start to sweat all over. My wife also has similar hot flashes.

I seriously thought I was going through hot flashes as I was about a week and a half past my HRT shot. Found out my blood pressure had gone through the roof. After adding yet another medication and it dropping to 134/98, the hot flashes went away.

I do not know if my hot flashes were like anyone elses but they were noticed. I am a eunuch/diabetic/hypertensive person who's skin would become very warm during a hot flash and when it ended my skin would chill greatly. I was in patient care at a hospital and while assisting patients out of bed I heard many times "oh your skin is like ice". They would touch my face and marvel at how cold I felt. If I went back to get them back to bed during a flash they would say "oh now your skin is nice and warm". Sadly during those times there was no one around I would let intimately know my temperature ranges. I now seem to be warm all the time until I exert myself and then my skin might still chill. Many days I dream of the Ice Hotel in Quebec City. Of course in the summer when I need it most it is the Ice Puddle.

I have had hot flashes. I don't believe that my temp was actually elevated but my skin would turn red or pink while it was going on. People around me got tired of hearing "is it hot in here?". --FLO--

I haven't had a real hot flash in a long while, although I will NEVER forget the first one I ever had. G3 was 1 at the time, and he knocked over a frozen margarita in my lap! Thank God!

Sometimes now, with whatever T. I have, I just suddenly get warm. It starts with my ears, and I flush, then get warm all over. It reads on a thermometer as a real fever of like 103F for a short while. I usually end up sweating some, but not soaking like some report. In about 10-15 minutes, it will pass. Then I'm a bit chilled, which lasts for about an hour.

Also, being diabetic, for about an hour after I eat, I just freeze to death - no matter what the ambient temperature. No one's figured that one out yet, as it's not a blood sugar spike/plunge - I've tested at 15 minute intervals the whole time and never gone out of range.

I know that when I have had hot flashes it felt like I was going to burst into flames. When I was in bed with the wife she would like to snuggle up to me because I was warm. All I wanted to do was to get away from her because I was all ready hot. After the hot flash was over my skin would be cool to the touch. This was probable due to perspiration trying to cool me off. When I go off of HRT again I will have to keep a thermometer handy.

On a side note, I have had a few CT scans, and when they inject that iodine into you blood that is real HOT flash.

When I was hypoglycemic (pre diabetes) I would always be cold after a meal. Leaving a restaurant during winter the heat would be blazing in the car while everyone was sweating. My thermometer has been off for years now.
