Hello, I stumbled across this wonderful site by chance today and am loving it from the little time I've gotten to spend here. Seems like the right place for educated information, other places I've visited have been... Unhelpful to say the least. Fantasies that would kill if done in reality. My husband made a promise to me many years ago that after our second child was born, I could castrate him. Seemed like a really odd thought at the time, but after talking about it with him through time I've really come to enjoy it. Our second little one is due in just a couple months now, and I find myself thinking about it more and more through out the day. It is something I'd LOVE to do, but I love him more and fear for his safety more than he seems to. From what I've gathered the burdizzo, while hard to master, is the safer way to go. While it gets the desired result, I've grown rather fond of the idea of preserving them - a trophy of sorts. We've managed to get injectable lidocaine. My question is could I use an elastrator to put a couple of bands on after numbing the cords, make a small incision to fish the little suckers out, tie off the cords tightly with the proper sutures, cut then possibly cauterize the ends, flush with iodine and stitch the incision before removing the bands? I'd like him to keep his empty scrotum so I realize it would have to be done fairly quick to keep it from dying from the lack of bloodflow. I'd say less than an hour after putting on the first band. I'm sorry if the answer is already here, I don't have much time to look during my chaotic day but I will continue to search around here when I can. Any advice or the like would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Not safe to practice this type of surgery at home. I was castrated by a doc, only way to do it. Good luck.

A wise tip - kind of takes the fun out of my hands and away from him too I'm sure. An option to consider though, and such a fast response

I see you live in the USA. You might consider travel. There are countries that are much looser than the USA in how things are done. You could do it under medical supervision and the products would not be considered medical waste to be discarded. Depends, of course, on your budget, etc.

Some here have recommended chemical castration as a "trial run" to test the waters, so to speak, before permanent damage is done. In the search box at the top of the page, enter "depo provera." You'll probably get more information than you can digest on the subject, but the essential idea is that your hubby would keep his testicles (at least for now), but the drug would suppress the testosterone as if he were castrated. You could both then see whether the depression, weight gain, and other side effects of castration are worth it before doing something irreversible.

I agree with the idea of a trial run,

The effects of no T on a younger man are quite severe.

Depression being a huge one. I would not recommend it just after giving birth. The lack of energy etc would make life very difficult.

I had my last testicle removed after our son turned 4 and my wife had a radical hysterectomy. I take T and am now on a much reduced amount. I still have issues with sleep and depression.

The thing with the chemicals I think is that taking a little T is not an option as I understand it.

You also have to be 100% sure that you want no more kids.

Self image was a big issue for me when I had to have the first testicle removed, even though I had know for years it would have to happen eventually the reality was a huge shock.

You'll find that most people WILL disabuse you of the notion that this is something safe to do at home. Ultimately though, it's up to you and your hubby not to let the wrong head overrule common sense.

Since permanent elimination of testosterone production, via castration or other means, can have a profound effect on one's mental, physical, and emotional conditions, this is not something to be taken lightly. What might seem like a curiosity or amusement needs to be looked at seriously and the long term effects taken into consideration.

Supplemental HRT after loss of testosterone production is not necessarily going to enable one to feel and perform the same sexually, mentally, physically or emotionally.

Since sperm can be stored there is no reason to wait for first child, second child, third child, etc.

Hopefully both parties are OK with a future of having no sex life.

If in time the two part ways, it is the man who is going to have a future of no sex.

This definitely needs to be the man's decision, AND done in a medical clinic.

So much knowledge! A trial does sound like a good idea, will give him a chance to back out thank you guys, its amazing to not be flooded with horny fantasies and get real knowledge for a change

Many people have posted their chemical castration experiences here, I have myself in the "Depo Provera" thread. While I am sure that reading about some of these experiences will be helpful for you, I think it is very important to point out that each and every man is different and unique, and therefore the castration experience will also be unique, with some things for your husband being similar to others' experiences, and some things being entirely unique to him. As an example I point out that almost every other person reports depression, some quite severe depression, yet I never felt the least bit depressed during my chemical castration, it was actually an enjoyable relief I felt mostly. In fairness, my ejoyable experience of it may have been because I knew (at least for the first month or so) that the effects were not really going to be permanent.
