Yep, that'd be me, brand new just joined today...err yesterday. I am 24, male, I consider myself straight. I've always had an underactive libido, never cared for sex. The act of sex weither gay, straight, or bi, disgusts me. I don't allow people to touch me and I have no desire to live with, love, or share any sort of intimate feelings with another person. I don't date, I don't go out to fancy clubs or any of that, I prefer to be alone most of the time. But despite what my mind wants, my physiology wants something else. And I've come here seeking information about changing one or the other. I've long thought about getting castrated, I've always wondered what it would be like to not have a sex drive. I don't dat

So, I come here because I've decided to make a decision, one way or another, about changing my life. It's something that could potentially be permanent and that's not something I'd take lightly. Weither I decide to stay the way I am or make any drastic change, really depends on what I can learn about it.

There are some psychological reasons for my choice in doing this. I've never really had a sex drive, and I've felt like an outsider most of my life. I'm too afraid to actually talk to most women and I've only asked a girl out twice (got turned down both times). But, the biggest reason is that I don't care to ever be with anyone sexually and as a result I feel this may be a course of action worth pursuing.

Right now it's 1 AM, so sorry if my thoughts are a bit jumbled, but I'm a little tired.

Welcome to the zoo.

Are you sure that you want to go this way? If you try chemical castration - you will change and it is not only your sex drive.

Well, no I'm not sure that I want to go that way, but that's why I'm here.

If you read the top sticky thread, you'll see that a couple months of chemical castration is reversible. Surgery isn't...

Welcome aboard. I've never hardly bothered dating either myself. It's too much of a problem and the all of a sudden the one you're dating wants you dress, talk, walk, and behave like a head honcho or something and I say who cares. So welcome aboard.

I would talk to your doctor and explain your lack of sex drive etc. The problem might be physical. If it is not then carry on from their. I was to shy to talk about some of my problem with my doctor untill they were so bad my wife went to hers and described my problems. I had a pituitary tumor and it was left to late to do anything about. No pituitary no testosterone. No testosterone, no sex drive. Trouble with me is I like it that way and take just enough T to keep my bones etc. healthy. You should try it first before making it permanent.

I'm not sure exactly of how to explain this. Mentally I do not want to have sex...physically my body wants sex. I have a sex drive, in that I can feel attracted to a woman, but I don't want to feel that anymore. As for a physiological disorder, my testosterone levels are normal, my petuitary gland is fine, and my thyroid is fine as well. But it's been a few years since I've had that checked, and since then my sexual attraction to the opposite sex has increased.

For information you've come to the right place.

Personally I wouldn't recommend the surgical route...it's something you can live with but I think it's a real pain in the ass. You can reverse most of the symptoms of low T with injections or gel replacement therapy if the choice doesn't work out. But it's a real nuisance, and it's not quite the same as natural production. You just don't feel the same, I can't quite put my finger on it, but you're different.

Now if it's a voluntary decision and you would decide to stay off testosterone you may be happy with the results, it wasn't my decision and wouldn't have been my personal choice.

In short try chemical castration first to see if it's something you want to live with.

I agree with Streetglide. Replacement T is not exactly the same as what your body creates. It's close. But I also can't explain what is different.

Since I pretty much follow your social footsteps I can understand how you feel.

Make sure you understand that it is ok to be a "loner" as long as you are not "lonely". This is extremely important.

Hormones will not make a difference.

If you are lonely please please get some help.

I wanted to write about feeling lonely and that it wouldn't change. You put it much better, than I intended.
