The thing about writing.

Don't get me wrong. I love writing and I love posting stories on the EA. I love receiving comments (good and bad) and I love getting stars. And a big big thanks to Bella for always posting my stories so quickly.

But here's the thing. When I write I try to capture a certain elusive feeling. I want the story to reflect how I really feel about castration, the fears as well as the appeal. Often times I come very close to getting it right but at the last moment it sort of slips through my fingers. I've never really written the definitive eunuch story. I've never hit the bullseye. Sometimes I wonder if I ever will.

Perhaps there's something about castration that defies any logical explanation. How can I ever hope to explain something I don't understand myself.

Is there anyone else here who feels as I do?

Absolutely. For so many men it makes no logical sense to love sex and being extra masculine and yet getting off sexually on the idea of being castrated himself, or castrating other extra masculine men. It destroys or reduces so much of what men enjoy and treasure in themselves and in other men. Its the opposite of logic and of great appreciation of men and sex. And yet is is such a sexual turn on. Trying to capture that conflict and confusion in a story is very difficult and hard to convey to men who don t feel those things in conflict deep within themselves.

The sir, ask me, the full eunuch of young years. The truth I, am sure that you better me know why I agreed to it, being absolutely healthy. But I am not a writer, and the reader, would be very grateful if you made the list of specific questions which are necessary for your creativity...

Absolutely with you he agrees! Especially, from the medical point of view.

But scientists still cannot distinctly explain the nature of origin of the person of a modern type. In the wild world of people could survive, only thanks to the intelligence. And from where this ability undertook? On this subject I can only dream. Nobody knows plainly...

Most likely the modern person is a genetic hybrid :). It can be somehow connected with mentality of people, the internal psychological conflicts and so on.

Hey @Atreyu69,

Don't sell yourself short, you do a great job of capturing the fear, the appeal, and the mystery of castration desire.

I always feel that the reader should never be a passive participant in the crafting of a story. You manage the dynamic between reader and writer very well. Details left out of a story can give the reader an opportunity to expand the narrative in their own minds - leaving each person with the version of the story that is most erotic to themselves.

Will you ever achieve the perfect story? Most likely. Maybe you already have.

My 2 cents about your stories: you can really nail it, but some sides isn't really for you. I mean, you don't like describe graphically the procedure, and consequently you rarely tell us the aftermath.

You have basically two scenarios: when the main character is already nullified and when the character is still uncut. You never go through it, but when you do, well is a blast. I suggest you to try writings both sides together, with flashbacks and flashforwards

Write because you like to, not because you're aiming for an elusive bullseye.

I'm writing something myself, but I've not gotten beyond sketching out the storyline. Right now I'm in the middle of writing out the basics for each chapter (it's 11 or 12 chapters long in concept), and from there can write the chapters themselves. It's the first time I've tried writing something related to this subject with forethought, instead of simply writing a, "stream of consciousness." That's what I call the process of insomnia, and just blurting the story out through a keyboard. For some it works well, for others it can be disjointed. I'll leave the judgement of that to those who read stories.

I'm very much into the father and (adult) son concept of pursuing nullification. That's the kind of story I'm writing. Maybe in the middle of all this I'll put out a single stream of consciousness type story, but I really want to get the full "novel" done. Then I'll post it a piece at a time. I have no set date to complete it though.

Right now it's a father-son story from both being kids, on up to their present ages (Dad is in his 70's, son in his 40's, neither is castrated/nullified as a minor). I'd say more about what it's entailing, but don't want to give out the whole story line. Got to have a bit of mystery, eh?

But back to the main point... write what you like. Don't beat yourself up because you think you're failing to write a Pulitzer Prize winning eunuch story.

I really enjoy most of the stories and often go back and reread some of them. I have noticed that some stories have something like this...Part one or to be continued, or some such phrase but nothing has been posted. SO I figure that the writer has left the building.

At people creative similar often happens. It is not terrible. The writer surely "will give" something when he is dawned by the Muse of creativity.
