I need to know what happens when you live the classic eunuch life. Are there any others out there who can tell us more about it.

Well, I can only give a brief description of this, since I was on TRT for a few months and its effects have lasted over a year later, to today still. Though, it feels like it is almost gone.

It will no doubt change you. YMMV of course. Short term and long term. There are pros and cons.

Overall, it has made me feel like a different (and better) person. What fleeting moments I've had of doubt over having it done, is far overshadowed by the positive differences bestowed upon me. I am more empathetic, compassionate, pragmatic, realistic, calmer, spiritual, accepting, and content, with myself, and others.

It has brought things to the fore of my mind that I disregarded, avoided, or was not even aware of before.

I have better clarity on myself now and with what I am doing in life.

In regards to sexuality; my libido; frequency down, but intensity up. It is harder to keep it functioning, with someone else. I need to be REALLY in the mood both sexually and emotionally. I can't just be ready to go like I used to. And you know what, I prefer it this way; it means more. It is more special now. I love not being bothered by nagging lust when I am trying to do something else.

Physically. I am weaker. I am getting weaker. I will certainly need to get prescription supplements after this virus is over (and when my blood T levels are down enough for me to be prescribed them). That along with daily exercise and better diet should stave off any additional risks of osteoporosis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, etc. that are associated with this way of being.

I still feel like I have a bit way of a more to go. Which is something awesome to look forward to.

I could go on, but I think I have said enough for now.

What about you? How are you coping with classic eunuch life?

By Classic Eunuch Life, do you mean life with hormones after castration? I tried without TRT, and the depression was the worst thing to hit me. The doc put me on T, and the depression and other pesky Low T symptoms disappeared. I had tried Meds for depression and the side affects were a lot worse the T injections. If you don't like the affects of your full dosage of T cut it back to where you are comfortable.

It's been almost 5 months now without supplemental testosterone and I am happy with the results no longer have any libido and never think about sex. I don't miss the hypersexuality I had experienced. My mental health issues have improved to a point that I never have had in my entire life. My blood test results are testosterone 10 mg/pl free testosterone 1.1 mg/pl my estrogen is estradiol 33 ng/dl. I am using an internet estrogen cream that is all natural because I have osteopenia and need it for bone loss. My strength is greatly diminished and I have loss of stamina but I was in bed for 9 months after my orchiotomies I had complications after each surgery. I'm finally happy with my life. I wish I would have had to have it done when I was 20 years old its been the best thing to happen to me.

What kind of doctor did you go to get estrogen patches? I'm trying to get a doctor to do that or cream for me

At the beginning, after chemical castration, and before testosterone replacement therapy, I was much calmer. I have basically no thoughts of sex. I don't even bother to come check this Eunuch Archives. I could go on for several months before I thought about a release. As getting hard is very difficult, I just embraced my softness and learned to achieve orgasm without getting ever hard. The climaxes can still be intense and enjoyable.

I also learned to be soft even with a partner, not feeling ashamed or embarrassed. Just enjoyed the moment. As someone before me said, I go more for the feeling of intimacy than just getting off. So, all and all, I feel even though my need of sexual release and penal focus has basically dissipated, I still enjoy the intimacy, and the body contacts.

I did develop depression and worse yet, osteopenia (a early development of osteoporosis). So I am now on testosterone replacement. My sexual urges returned a bit, from needing release once every 3 - 4 months to once every couple of weeks. I can get hard again, with lots of stimulation, but never stay hard enough for penetration, which is fine with me. The eunuch calm is diminished a bit.

That's just my own experience. YMMV

Having said that, the risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis is very real to anyone with low testosterone or estrogen. Even though we may lose some of the benefits of being a eunuch, I'd urge everyone to convince a doctor to order a bone density scan, start HRT early (at a minimal dose, as prescribed) to prevent the start of this nasty irreversible disease. Even after a minimal dose of testosterone gel for several years, my osteopenia seems to have progressed. So instead of increasing testosterone, I got my endocrinologist to supplement with osteoporosis medication.

Seek doctors who are familiar with taking care if transgender's transition.

I love not being bothered by sex much at all now, as you do.

Mentally, I am changing as a person (personality) naturally, and am trying to consciously speed that process up which is probably causing me this rather chronic anxiety. I guess I need to be a bit more patient at times. But yes, my mental health overall is improving. It is still bringing sh*t up from the past and my anger and frustrations at that, but I think I just need to let it manifest and get it consciously sorted.

I have no clear idea what my T level is right now, but it must be quite low. Two days ago, I remember being in the kitchen, and then I strongly felt something inside of me 'switch', which I knew was the continuing process of my change. Yesterday then, a lot of that anger and frustration expressed itself in me, I resolved it. Today, I am feeling much more calmer.

I have been thinking, that if after a few weeks my transitional anxiety doesn't abate, then I will see the endo and request estradiol. I guess I am starting to get more concerned about developing osteopenia/osteoporosis.

When deliberating about whether to commit to becoming a eunuch or not, I thought about how in the future I would be so angry with myself for not having, decades ago, had done what I thought might help me. Without a doubt this is the best decision I have and will probably ever make in my life.

Don't beat yourself up too much, there are others that go through their entire life never considering something like this could radically help them, when in truth it could.

What I love about all of this process for me is that, not only is my chronic pelvic pain syndrome 99% gone, but it has made me be able to press the 'reset' button on my mental and emotional self, to give me the opportunity to make myself a better person. I dread to think where I would be right now had I not had this done; certainly very unhappy.

Up date I went to my new GP today and told him about my feeling tired and my muscles aching all the time, how I thought it was due to me not using testosterone but tonight I got th he results back from my blood work and found out that it is hormone related but not testosterone my thyroid levels are about zero right now even though I take thyroid medication. I go back next Thursday to see him and see what he is going to do. Just wanted to keep you posted
