Chemical Castration, Sperm, Sterility, Fatherhood
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2009 3:27 am
It was suggested elsewhere that chemical castration does not kill sperm.
Should one actually be able to have intercourse and ejaculate even a small amount ejaculate might contain a small amount of sperm, and as we know, it just takes one of the little buggers to create new life.
So the questions are:
a) Does chemical castration kill all sperm, some sperm, no sperm?
b) If sperm still exists in chemical castrated testes, and erection/impregnation was not possible, could sperm be medically retrieved from a testicle and used to fertilize an egg
and lastly,
c) has anyone saved their sperm prior to being chemically or physically castrated just in case you wanted to father a child later on in life?
d) has any castrate used saved sperm to father a child ?
As a virtual castrate, my numb shrunken dead balls (1 is hard, 1 is squishy soft) produce no sperm so none of the above is an option for me. Fortunately I am quite thankful I never fathered kids and I am glad that it is absolutely impossible for me to do so now or in the future. Congratulations to anyone who wanted kids and succeeded; my condolences to anyone to wanted kids and was unable to conceive; and my condolences to anyone who didn't want kids but did...hopefully it all worked out.
