Last weekend I had a chance to reveal to some close friends that I had been castrated a few years ago. Previously I had kept it secret, for one question I had was how to go about telling someone even if I wanted to. Another question was - did I really want to "come out" as a Eunuch?

So we had a diner party of sorts with two other couples and a single female friend last weekend, which almost always digresses into intoxication, so everyone sleeps over. Now these were old and very good friends who have shared many joys and sorrows over the decades, which made me more comfortable sharing such an intimate condition.

Of course, copious amounts of pina coladas (it was a goodbye to summer party) and rum punch loosened my tongue and I embraced a rare opportunity when the subject of another friend's prostate cancer diagnoses came up. Of course everyone there knew his treatment included removing testosterone by chemical or surgical castration, but nobody had the slightest notion that I too was a Eunuch.

In essence, the guys were a bit uncomfortable listening to me talk about castration, but the women were overwhelmingly curious and accepting. In the end I think everyone appreciated my being up front about it.

It's actually a relief to no longer carry the burden of such secrecy among my closest friends. In a small way I always sort of felt I was being somewhat of a fraud. My wife was most supportive throughout the unexpected reveal, even giving her own unabashed opinions of having a neutered husband.

Now I imagine I am "outed" among everyone we all know, for people do love to talk and such salacious secrets rarely remain so. Perhaps I should just go ahead and buy my wife that tee shirt that says: "I :hearthrob my Eunuch".

I've published a longer account on my blog for anyone interested to read it.

Great for you ! Your friends, especially the men squirming around as you talked about castration, will admire your bravery and confidence in telling them about a major event in your life. And for telling the men what few other eunuchs will ever tell them about castration, which they might need for their own balls some day. Its good for men to honestly tell other men about our dick and ball problems so it isn t considered strange or shameful to have manly problems with our sex organs. Most men will have some kind of problems with their sex organs at some point in their lives and know other males with problems who they can help. All men should feel comfortable talking about our sex organs with other men and have that considered normal and healthy to do.

I bet most of them had never even heard of testicular torsion or that men can be castrated by it. Its something every male should know about in detail to save his own and other males testicles if it happens to them. I m sure lots of men and parents wish they had known about torsions before they or their sons lost one or both testicles to not seeking help for it fast enough to save all those balls from death. Us men who do have nut torsions have a duty to inform and educate all other males about it and how to seek help to save their balls or some male they know from losing more testicles to it. Most males squirm but are very interested in learning more about it and hearing it first hand from men who have felt it first hand.
