The Eunuch Calm.
Posted: Wed May 27, 2015 5:34 am
I've railed about this before, I'm probably gonna rail about it again. Only, I figure this is an opportune time to mention it loud and clear.
This is to the absolutely incredible amount of people I talk to, on a regular basis, who figure that castration will make them calmer, more docile, more obedient, more agreeable, more submissive, whatever. In other words, this is for those who keep talking about this mythical Eunuch Calm that supposedly all eunuchs get once they've been castrated, and get the testosterone out of their systems.
For YEARS I've tried to argue that it would seem better to match a eunuch up against a post-menopausal woman, in terms of hormones. Clearly now, all of them old ladies are meek, weak, and utterly passive in terms of how they interact with the world. There's absolutely no truth to those stories about the feisty ones who are more than willing to take on the legions of hell itself to redeem that $0.25 coupon on laundry detergent which expired a year ago. Those are entirely mythical.
Instead, I'm gonna talk about myself. I was castrated almost 17 years ago, and have spent most of that time since on HRT. However, nearly eight months ago I stopped taking the T. My current testosterone level is somewhere around 0.8 nmol/L. That puts me in the bottom third of testosterone levels for WOMEN my age. I am more than happy with this situation. I would not take T again if you paid me, and I doubt there's a threat you could use to get me to have testicles again. I fully agree that I'm probably more at peace with myself now than I ever have been before. And yes, I am so much less of an asshole now then I used to be.
The trouble is, I'm SO much more of a Bitch than I ever was an asshole. That's without estrogen too.
Eunuch calm, making you feel more comfortable about yourself, at peace with yourself? Check.
Eunuch calm, making you submissive and compliant? Go for it, test the Boss. I dare you.
Mods, feel free to move this to wherever's most appropriate.
