My chemical castration experience
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 7:00 am
Hi all,
I'm new to posting on the forums but have gained invaluable information from reading discussions on these forums particularly regarding chemical castration. This is something I have wanted for a very long time and probably dates back to when I was a teenager and first discovered I could masturbate. I'm 43 years old now and still doing it.
The main reason for me wanting to do this is to stop the pervasive sexual thoughts that cloud my days and nights. The last few years I've been overtaken by online porn, particularly BDSM. Generally involving men being punished and held in confinement and denied sexual release while their dominating mistress controls them totally. So if I was a psychiatrist, it's a fair assumption to make that I'm punishing myself by denying myself any sexual release. I am prone to very compulsive behaviour, and find that when I watch a particular piece of porn, my mind starts thinking of things that are harder and harder and more extreme. When will it end? My deviancy has meant I eventually visit prostitutes to try and emulate the on-screen images in my head (which it never does), and it leaves me full of guilt and self-loathing. I should note that there has been no thoughts of anything to do with children, animals or rape of women, but I want things to stop before that. There is also more to my kinks and fetishes, but I won't go into further detail yet.
I am single, heterosexual and live in Western Australia. I decided to approach a new GP in a clinic I don't normally go to. This was to hopefully make my ability to talk much easier. And it was. I spoke with him, and told him basically everything I've said earlier, and he was very understanding and could see that I'd put a lot of thought and research into what I was planning to do. I told him a psychiatrist was not ideal due to cost and he said that he is willing to see me at regular intervals to check on my progress. He even outlined some of the medications that I could try. I had already had my heart set on Androcur, since it seems to be a popular choice here and more importantly gets the results I'm looking for. I also asked him for a script for Tamoxifen to treat the effects of gynecomastia, which I'm expecting. A plus for me is that Tamoxifen is also sometimes responsible for reducing libido in itself. He also spoke with me about some of the side effects of both meds, but I was happy to cope with any of those. So as a result of the visit I cam away with a form to get benchmark blood tests done, and twice daily 50mg Androcur and 10mg daily Tamoxifen. I couldn't have been happier with the result. A bonus for me is that I'm on a health concession card, so the 100 x 50mg Androcur only costs $6! I have to check in with him after 2 weeks to see how I'm going.
I am already in the process of writing a journal which I hope to post as much as I can on here for others to read and gauge for themselves if this is the right step for them. My journal will be frank and open, writing it as I'm feeling the feelings. I hope that it won't be judged, rather accepted.
Thanks
