Is it medically advantageous to have no genitals?

Post by happousai (imported) »

For women, they created gynecologists, to treat the large variety of things that can go wrong with female genitals.

For men, they created urologists, to treat the (perhaps not as large, but still significant) variety of things that can go wrong with male genitals.

So, what about someone who has no genitals, e.g. he's had a penectomy and bilateral orchiectomy? I can see two disadvantages, as compared to an intact male:

(1) All of the disadvantages associated with castration (i.e. need to take HRT or deal with osteoperosis, hot flashes, loss of muscle mass etc.) which I won't go into since we've talked about it a lot already.

(2) Increased risk of urinary tract infections? Women tend to get these once every few years, while men don't, apparently due to women having a shorter urinary tract. An emasculated male would apparently be in the same situation as a woman, here.

But, on the bright side:

- The testicles won't get in the way anymore.

- No chance of getting testicle cancer/infections.

- No chance of getting penis cancer/infections.

- Almost no chance of getting prostate cancer.

Thoughts?

Whilst I have been castrated, I have not had a penectomy and have zilch interest in doing so. As for the medical advantages of being castrated, I still think the #1 advantage...for me now, just my opinion...is that "eunuch calm". Anything else is nice, and the disadvantages have to be accepted.
