Why is it so difficult to get castrated safely?

[Mr. Testicles (imported)]

OK, I am a newbie. I also like my Testicles for they give me hours of pleasure and enjoyment and make me very happy but why is it so hard to get your wobbly bits cut off by a professional ? There are so many stories here of people doing crazy things to get rid of them.

It surely can't be illegal to have your balls removed ? Is it ? If a women is allowed to abort a fetus surely a man can cut off his giblets. So please fill me in on why it is so hard to get them removed by a professional doctor ?

Because if was easy then every male would have it done!

In actuality the testicles are sacred turf used to procreate and add more people to faith (or at least what ever faith your in) that is the tradition. Also, most straight males are proud that they have a pair, but do not like to feel or touch them.

That's a very good question. The actual surgery is probably less complicated than having a tooth pulled.

Mine where removed after an accident. I was unconcious, so I didn't have much input in the matter. When I came to they where gone, not much I could say at that point.

I've had my ups and downs, but for the most part I don't see what the big deal is. I'm on HRT, I refused/ couldn't afford implants, (my wonderful insurance company considers them cosmetic), I function pretty much normally, if I up my HRT I'm a horndog, if I keep it within reason I can still build muscle, and stay lean.

Other than looking a little different without pants, and getting my hormones externally rather than internally it's not that bad.

I'd be a happy camper if I could have my balls back though, life was simpler and cheaper just letting them do their thing without constant attention, cost and paperwork.

I am sorry to hear of your misfortune. It is also a good reminder that not all people here chose to lose their testicles. I am interested in your statement of being a horndog on HRT. How does one become horny without the ability to produce sperm and if you do get horny can you release the sexual tension through ejaculation ? seems impossible without testicles but I have a lot to learn.

Well, I have a guess. Most people, and this includes most male and female doctors, have a strong negative gut reaction to the idea. Most guys are programmed genetically to spread their stuff as much as possible, and it's very hard to imagine a situation where someone might want something else. Don't underestimate the ability of the gut to overrule the brain when these primal instincts are concerned; I think that this happens to explain a lot of anti-gay prejudice as well. It's hard to reason people out of opinions that they didn't get reasoned into.

There are also the secondary cultural things which drive me nuts, like the idea that men don't really own their bodies and are somehow expendable. Women can go get an abortion or a hysterectomy while a guy with painful or failed nuts is considered nuts for wanting them gone or even complaining about it. Modern culture in the US at least is pretty generally anti-male and men are considered unimportant except for providing $$ to their angry self-centered wives.

I don't know why the cultural change happened, but it seemed to hit hard about 20 years ago. It's about the same time that we stopped letting kids do stuff as well. Weird.

I think it is quite in reverse. Both USA and Europe (not speaking about other countries) are still quite patriarchal (simple proof: if you are male you will get more salary doing the same job, and you will be promoted more easily, also you get more chances to get managerial position and so on and so forth).

I guess different view to male losing their gonads is that after losing their gonads women can still fulfill their receptive sexual function. i.e. they are still considered women (more so, as after the menopause their gonads allmost stop functioning anyway), while a man, who lost his gonads is no longer a man (sort of), as he cannot perform (more often than not) his penetrative sexual function, and loses some of his male characteristic (if not on hrt).

Damn! Thankyou for saying it, I have been thinking that for many years now, but OMG! If you say something like that in our ultra-pollitically correct world today you will be stoned to death by a mob of angry fem-nazis. I remember a joke, too pollitically incorrect to tell in most circles but I believe I can tell it here:

"All married women have two asses, the one they sit on all day and the one they send off to work all day."

Certainly, that sort of joke does not apply to some marriages, some men sit on their asses all day just as some women do. Some "husbands" seem quite content to live off their wife's earnings while they are the ones staying at home.

While the post by evai 1234 does have a good point, simply that men tend to earn more money than women, I sort of see that fact as supporting my point of view than in our society, men are little more than wage slaves. Women are all but forced into being reproduction slaves, but at least they have won some control over their bodies in that it is a LOT easier for a woman to get an abortion or hysterectomy than it is for a man to get the much simpler and cheaper castration surgery.

Even though I had tiny failed nuts that were giving me a list of troubles and woes, least of all that they seemed to just be in the way since they kept popping out of my abdomen I had to go completely out of my way to get them removed. Nobody took me seriously. I was even shown to have no viable sperm in order to propagate the species, or to produce more religious subjects, or else to expand our economic base or whatever it is they want but still it was necessary for me to retain what I had. I guess since we live in such a binary society that we become only worth those binary components which will only serve the mere purpose of reproduction and anything beyond that is ridiculous to the ways of the world. (Religions despite what their initiators had stood for actually do promote the ways of the world.) Also since women's reproduction capabilities is somewhat more limited to that of a man's (15 to 40 years old) give or take a few years compared to that of a man's who could go double that I guess it's therefore deemed more acceptable for a woman to renounce their reproductive capabilities without awakening the redicule and ire of society than for a male even he normally couldn't have children.

LOL, Dev, that was my experience today at the urologist's but in a different way. He INSISTED that I come back at a specific time 3 weeks from now with a jar of my splooge, in order to see if I have any sperm to bank in case we remove those little suckers. You know, in case I want to get my boyfriend pregnant at a later date.

At that moment I was about to bust out the song, "Every Sperm is Sacred," which in German has a nice ring to it too.
