Surgical castration causes a drastic change in one's life. Here's my take on it.

Hot flashes. Timing seems to vary from quite irregularly form 20-minutes to several hours. I cannot determine a trigger factor, except that if my feet are cold (like hanging outside of the bed clothes), I usually don't have a hot flash. They also seem to be stronger at night, but this may only be a subjective effect.

Erections are still possible, but now I don't care one way or the other, and so don't even try to experiment. This is a surprising reaction for me, given that I used to get excited quite easily.

Sex dreams have dropped to only 2 in the past 6-weeks. I still read the new stories submitted to the Archive, but don't find as much interest in them as I used to.

It does feel strange not having balls, despite mentally preparing myself for this in advance. When I sit on a toilet, the lack of sensation down there is very strange indeed.

No mental depression since castration was something that I have desired for over 35-years. My feeling is one of relief.

great news thanks fo the up date

Everything you say seems to be very normal. Each person is different but follow general common changes. The hot flashes can be with a person for weeks, months. You never know. The physical body keeps changing for a long time after the castration. I felt that I was still changing some even after 2 years. The emotions seem to change and keep changing as time goes on. The brain has been programed to behave in one way and now the driving force in the brain has changed. New path ways are being made. The way you look at things will be from a different angle. The emotions are changing and that will cause more changes.

Sounds like you are doing well with your adjustments so far. That is great. Hope you keep this way. It is good to keep notes on your changes. Many are very minor as they change. You will not see many from day to day. But when you start looking back weeks and months you will see changes you never though happened.

Have you kept a journal of your experiences

I have tried searching but can not find much

It would be of great help to us

Kangan:

did you have your scrotum removed as well, or are you lacking sensation just becuase the testicals are gone.

I have a more detail journal I kept for myself. Often I have mentioned my experience in the posts I have made in other threads.

I did post some of the highlights of my three years after my castration. http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=7997

thanks

I did go back and look through your post I don’t know how I messed them

I probably was in the hospital recovering from some of the stupid shit I did to my self

Sorry for not paying attention

You did not say much about the changes that where emotionally

Besides maybe less temperamental

Have there been any new things

For me besides the things that I have already said

the changes must be happening really slow in that I cant see them as of now

but one is that I seam to be able to think clearer and deeper

and it seams as though I appreciate others that are around me moor

and it feels so good to be who I am and to have put an end to the endless

cycle of pain and anguish that I put my self through

I want to thank you for being there to help me through

Both the good and bad times on my pathway to eunuch hood

You are a true friend

Scrotum is still there and looks like a deflated balloon with a huge puckered hole in the middle of it. If I were a TG person, I'd be concerned with the resulting scar tissue, but in my case it doesn't really matter.

Now day 46 AC (after castration). Not much to report other than that my pubic hair has grown out enough to poke. [Ow! Ow!]

My wife tried a test run and managed to give me a nice erection, but we left it at that. We will go a bit further in a week or two.

After reading about all the horrible side effects that can happen to an eunuch, I must say that I am extremely lucky (so far).

I cannot remember what it was like to have balls anymore. Even if I try to remember, I can't bring to mind the feeling of having testicles. I can remember standing in Kimmels office waiting and telling my single testicle, "In just a few minutes, you'll be gone for good!" But that's the last feeling I can remember. Maybe it's my age, 51, I have memory issues from time to time, but maybe I didn't want my testicles and that's why I don't remember.

I have only been without balls for three years and I don't remember how it felt to have them hanging there either, Hash. Like you, it might be age (70_ but I don't think so. Also, I have beenwithout my scrotum since August and I don't really remember how it felt to have one. Just glad to be rid of the loose skin.
