The gender euphoria paradox?

I've been castrated since January 4th 2022, and since then, my personal body count's WAY higher than it ever was pre-op. I've been off-and-on with estrogen replacement, but I went into this leaning more heavily toward the trans girl side of things than the eunuch side and have since drifted further into eunuch territory in terms of personal identity. Balls gone was basically all I ever wanted, and so far, it's been great! But this kinda runs contrary to popular wisdom, most people seem to think that this is supposed to kill your libido but it's just kinda taken the edge off and given me a lot more conscious control over it - my libido's always been split into "mental" and "physical" and now that the physical part's gone, it turns out that I'm kinda just brain-horny by default.

This isn't a problem and is actually something I kind of hoped for, but what I wasn't expecting that hard was the fact that the most sure-fire way to get my brain horny is literally any reminder that I'm neutered, cause it really sits at the intersection of gender euphoria, kink, and hyperfixation for me. It's to the point where being castrated has somehow made my erectile function MORE RELIABLE - some combination of T-blocker side effects no longer being a problem and the aforementioned euphoria has meant that I get full-mast at least 3 days a week and as such, I haven't lost any size after more than a year that I didn't lose in the preceding 2 years of T blockers and estrogen.

I honestly have no idea where I was going with this other than, I guess, anyone else have similar experiences?

I have to admit that I understand you very well. I got castrated in April 2016 and I am still happy about. But it always makes me horny when I think about my gone parts. My sexdrive is even stronger than before castration. And I also feel very well if it's down because the T is low.....

It makes complete sense to me. In my case (as everyone is sick of hearing by now) it's pain and pathology that for the longest time have driven the castration quest, but the concept of having that resolved is a source of euphoria and sexual arousal. This is different from gender dysphoria/euphoria, but behaves essentially in the same way!

I wish more scientists could explore that phenomena.

I've had multiple chemcastration periods. At the beginning I always feel euphoria. And hot flashes are kind of cool as they remind me that I am castrated, which lead to that "euphoria" again. Is that some interesting interconnection between brain structures that activates medial preoptic nucleus? When I realize that I do not get erection or become excited from a situation where I normally should, I feel pleased.

Personally I wish more that mystics and poets would explore it than scientists. Scientism in areas touching on rights and freedoms tends to be wielded in an authoritarian way.

That is another interesting phenomena that people feel resentful or even threatened when some of the old mysteries are explained. Feeling of loss when great magician trick appears to be simple and vile exploitation of human shortcomings in perception and prejudice.

But that same science has helped us to have WPATH and denounce gay cure therapies. There is a difference between science and scientism. Last of which is more similar to whichcraft nobody understands.

We have stories sections here, yes, but poetry? I would be happy to read some eunuch poetry :)

The idea of a magician's trick implies an audience. As I think you've gathered, my libertarianism/individualism on body autonomy matters means I'll always come down on the side of self determination and a person's right to self-define their experiences. Medicalisation is a form of epistemic tyranny.

I'll bear it in mind that poetry would be appreciated. I write a great deal of it. If anything appears relevant I'll post it.
