Hello all,

This is my first post, but it goes out in search of advice from all. I'll be as concise as I can.

I am a male 23 year old. I am looking into being castrated purely for one motive; to control/reduce/annihalite my libido. I am thinking of this due to my Hypersexuality, which manifests cardinally through masturbation. Immediatley after masturbation/sexual activity with my partner, approximtely about 7/10 times, the hunger for more sexual stimulation remains or even burgeons (withdrawal).

This is having an inauspicious effect on my life. My concentration, sleep, and just my broad ability to live a normal life is weak.

Abstinance from masturbation is not an option for me (I have tried time and time again), for I suffer from Epididymal Hypertension; pain is unbearable and incapacitating. So I am forced to masturbate to relieve that pain, yet in doing so, activate my hypersexuality. My partner has been supportive of the possibility that I would have to be eternally celibate to avoid the triggering of my hypersexuality. I don't care anymore at the idea of being celibate forever, for I won't have a life carrying on like this.

I had a below acceptable upbringing, and I used masturbation as my 'drug of choice' to cope with the encompassing and damaging stress in my environment, both external and internal. I majorly attribute the origins of my hypersexuality to this.

I have never done anything illicit or immoral from my hypersexuality. I've never cheated on any partner and I never shall. It's just turned my life into Masturbation.Inc.

CBT, 4-step-method, Distraction, scheduling, sheer bloody persistence, even conditioning I have used to try to stifle my hypersexuality, but to no avail.

So here I am. I am serious about removing my hypersexuality from my life, regardless of the sacrifices I must make. But I am definitely not certain on castration yet!

So, my questions are...

1. What is the efficacy of castration towards negating/lowering libido for those with Hypersexuality?

2. Given that Epididymal Hypertension (EH) is seemingly the causal reason in making me masturbate, and thus activate my hypersexuality, will I get EH anymore if I am castrated?

3. I live in the UK, what support can the NHS provide me, comparative to my specific concerns?

4. What is your baseline advice that you can give me, a newbie, and regarding my issues, in moving forward?

Thank you. Any advice from you is much appreciated.

This is tricky as you have a medical condition.

I would first discuss this either with your GP or find a sexual health clinic that operates near you.

Be frank with the consultant and tell them that this is driving you nuts.

Castration is a bit of an overkill as without hormones you will be faced with more issues than you currently have.

For example loss of muscle mass weight gain,Depression, brittle bones, infertillity and impotence.

True you would be able to regulate your libido with controled input of testosterone following castration with hormone replacment therapy but this I believe is the last option.

As a nurse, I have to say this is the first time I've ever heard of high sperm pressure. *shrugs*

I am unsure that going to a GP/sexual health clinic would be the most appropriate step for me. I have read some threads on here that say of how the NHS is very much biased towards wannabe eunuchs, to keeping the gonads. I can already envision the NHS clinicians attributing this as ONLY solvable via LIFELONG laborious and arduous mental-health support. I can also already envision myself 'relapsing' and feeling utterly destroyed at having to start over again, and this will happen time and time again, and I will be aware of this cycle of self-defeat, which will only make me feel more terrible, and thus make my perception of myself nothing more than a hopeless failure (this has already happened). And my ambitions in life will be superceded by the 'I must not relapse' overeriding principle. My life will revolve around not relapsing, not around my ambitions in life.

Infertility is no issue as my gay partner is akin to my own stance on having children (biological/adopted); I never want to have children (my paternal instinct has always been pretty much non-existant, and if it ever did increase then I can go for adoption, as I don't believe I have good genes and would feel unethical passing mine on). I am prepared to accept the sacrifices of having a high risk of impotence (my partner is not big on sex anyway), weight gain and muscle-mass deterioration (I somewhat excercise already, but this will force me to have a more healthy lifestyle, of which I can see myself enjoying), brittle bones (intake more foods and vitamins to alleviate the risk), and depression (I have and do suffer with this, but whenever I feel that I have self-control, I literally snap out of depression; Self-control is a big part of my personality, and without it, my self-esteem, self-confidence, and desire to have a life vanishes).

I may have these and other problems from castration, but the question I should really just ask myself is, what life would make me more happy, and thus more (mentally) healthier? And I certainly think the one where I control my libido, rather than the one that controls me, is the one.

My father was a lifelong 'on-and-off' alcoholic. He never ever controlled his addiction in his life despite the lifelong support he had. It controlled him. It made him drink-drive and cause much emotional stress to all those he "cared" about. I understand that addiction has a high genetic cause to it, and I have felt addicted to other things too, but I have and can always control them, just not masturbation (it has latched onto it). If there's a will, there's a way; and I have the will, so I'll take this risky way; castration.

I am only doing this for myself. I am not being pressured into this position by anyone. If my partner or anybody else has a problem with me having this life, then they can f*ck off.

I lived for 2.5 years noT and am not sure you have or can have a true picture of living no T. It is not as simple as you make it seem! You are very young so please take a breather though it seems as you already have your mind set and do some serious research and communication with those here who have a lot to offer! Best of luck!

I admit that if I was to make this momentous decision, then maybe the life afterwards may not be that good, but I strongly think that it would be better than the one I have now.

You are also right in saying that I ought to do MUCH mor

sparkey49 (imported) wrote: Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:22 am e serious research and communication with

others here before deciding, let alone undergoing the procedure. I am an amateur, and it would be foolhardy to jump the gun. So, I will certainly do a ton of both before proceeding.

But the idea of having such self-control over this part of me, and being rid of this issue is compelling lol!

Cheers for the reply

You could give chemical castration a shot and see how you feel without test flowing through you.

Much better than chopping the nuts off and finding out after you don't like being low test.

There are multiple drugs which can be used. Bicalutamide is nice in that it is much more forgiving on your future reproductive ability than some other drugs such as cyproterone. Give it a 3-6 month test run and see how you feel about it, if you are so inclined. Then you can go off of it and recover back to normal, or keep taking it, or go try to get castrated, or whatever you feel like doing at that point. But you'll have a better idea of what you want and how you feel about it after.

Just something to think about.

Thanks for the reply Prismatic

I guess that would seem like more of a logical step forward. But would my GP be willing to prescribe me this? If not, where could I acquire such drugs?

Either way, my partner has made it seem a bit more elucidated to me that there's no harm in going to see my GP to see what REAL support they can give me now, or in the future, with or without their full support.

Skip even trying with the GP, no point IMO, not going anywhere with that one unless you are a masochist, particularly in a country with socialized medicine. You'd likely have to try a lot of doctors to find one willing to help you out, if you could find them. That's just my opinion though so don't anyone go attacking me over saying that, feel free to counter what I said but don't make it personal.

I just don't think it's worth the effort at all.

Why seek someone else's approval to do what you want with your own body, when you can just do it yourself and get private blood tests if so inclined to make sure you're being safe and healthy?

Thankfully you are in the UK, so qhi.co.uk will work perfectly for you. They have bicalutamide but you must request it since they don't list it, but it is at a good price compared to other sites that do the same thing. No prescription required, they take visa mastercard cash and various other methods of payment, and they do sell legitimate drugs. I've been taking their drugs for years and they do sell the authentic product, typically of european make. Their cypro has me at 13ng/dL testosterone. Potent stuff if you don't mind the risk of going sterile from enough time on it.

If a GP is willing to give you blood tests while you self medicate with this stuff, that would be great. So I suppose going to one about this isn't a bad idea necessarily, it's just that I doubt one would prescribe you a testosterone blocker or other such chemical castration medication based off of your reasonings for wanting one. But maybe I'm wrong, if someone has experience in the UK with that stuff maybe they could come in and tell you what truly goes on there.

To sum it up I guess:

Try GP if you want but don't get your hopes up; qhi.co.uk will sell you chemical castration meds without prescription.

I truly appreciate the quality reply and advice you have given me. Thank you so much

I think you make a very valid point in your opinion, in that my attempts to get support from a GP would be hard as their code of conduct is very stringent and by the book. Add onto this my medical history (and still occuring) of my mental health issues, and its safe to assume I would probably be first reffered to psychological therapy; which can be great for many issues (it had helped me enormously in the past for other issues), but for this issue, I feel that that route would be highly erroneous.

I also concur with you when you say of how I should not really need somebody elses' approval prior to modifying my body. The only person who will know you best is yourself, so for someone else to claim to have higher knowledge of you, than you, would be unlikely to be true.

Weighing up everything, I will still go to my GP, but I should go in there pre-committed to declining any psychological therapy that they will throw at me. I will see what the NHS can do for me if I undergo this procedure, both during and after. I think it's important that I should display a sense of nonchalance if they try to scare me by saying they won't give me any subsequent medications (e.g analgesics, NSAIDs) if I do this by my own volition (though I expect they will, but if not, I can procure these subsequent medications privately).

I had a blood test recently and all was well, minus a slight cue to suggest my liver is not 100% (probably attributed to my prior once-a-week-pissup-session, which I don't do anymore! haha), but the nurse and GP said it's a-ok. But yes, I should have these blood tests done during and following the castration (be it surgical/chemical).

And thank you the link to qhi. I shall check them out!
