I guess this is my coming out as a eunuch. My wife and I have followed the eunuch archive for more than two years and last year we decided to have me castrated. I'm just about hitting the one-year mark and we are both very happy with the results so far. It has eliminated the source of much tension in our married life, and if it weren't considered so "wacko" I'd recommend it to every married man. My wife and I have truly become "friends" over the last year, something we could never achieve when my testicles were pumping me full of testosterone.

Health wise I've noticed I am much calmer. I though I would miss having erections more than I do, although I ocassionally get them in the morning (though this has been happening less and less). I still feel like a "man" though I would be uncomfortable if any of my male friends discovered my secret. I feel sorry for them wasting so much time thinking and talking about nothing but sex. It seems most men, myself included, are always searching for sex in order to fill a need, and once the need is filled, we are done. I feel like being castrated I have "cut to the chase" (pun intended) and feel satisfied all the time, or at least I am not filled with sexual dissatisfaction.

I'm open to sincere questions from other married partners seeking information on castration; I don't think I can help with other issues that are covered elsewhere quite well on the archive message boards. My advice is to do alot of research, make up your mind -- and if you go ahead and do it, chances are the result will be good. You might be giving up what people "think" is manhood, but what you get in return is so much more -- I feel like I have become a lot less of a "man" but alot more of a "person" since my castration.

How did you get your wife interested in castration and how did you get her to agree to it?

Scottylad--

Thanks for the informative post. At what point in your marriage did you have this done? I'd assume that you had children (if that's what you wanted) and that this was done in part to remove your male urges and to induce sterility.

I'm kind of curious if you are part of a younger married couple or if this came on over the years and you've been married for a while.

In response to how I got my wife interested in castration ... I guess we are both very open minded as we have friends that are in the "modern primitive" scene and into heavy piercing, tatoos, etc. We both decided we don't want children, though we may adopt later on. So being sterile is definitely a bonus. Strangely it was my wife who first brought up castration -- I had brought up getting a vasectomy when she said "Why don't we just get you castrated and solve all our problems?" She was referring to my high sex drive which has always been somewhat of a problem in our relationship. At 34 I know I'm a "younger eunuch" but I'm glad we didn't wait too much longer. Without tesosterone I feel as if I actually have more energy, or at least I'm not wasting so much of it thinking about sex. I think our society WAY over rates sex, or at least the act of penetration. Having a "penis free" (for the most part) marraige has taken off the "edge" from our relationship, a tension that was pushing us apart. I know 20 would have been too soon to be castrated, but I feel like 29 would have been the perfect age. After that point sex really started to become more of a complication and a pain in my life. I would watch myself being extremely horny and start to ask "Why?" ...

SCOTTYYLAD it is a very informative post i have chosen medical castration and i feel the same as you .I should have done this years ago my wife and i get along better in the last five monthes than we ever did in the thirty five years we have been married. I just cant explane how mutch happer we are now.Like you sead all the tension is out of our marrage now and i feel like a new person thanks for the post.
