I liked it, but it does remind me of a mildly interesting question that I've occasionally wondered about... It seems a fairly common trope in stories of this sort (high %age of near-puberty minor castration, w/o much concern about informed consent on the part of the minor) that behavior and academic performance improves, as well as the 'hero' ending up happy being a eunuch... Is there any 'real world' data that would support the trope? I can easily believe the behavior improvement, but what about the rest?

Is there any 'real world' data that would support the trope?

Since the "best practice" for anorchia (and similar) is HRT, it would be unethical to try to set up a study. Back in the day (decades ago) they weren't much interested in academic (double blind) studies.

I've met some guys who were "delayed puberty" receiving a conservative treatment ("let's wait and see what happens, these things usually resolve themselves") and had become as old as 16 without puberty or HRT. They may have been teased mercilessly, I don't know, but what I observed was they were pleasant, curious, well-behaved, doing okay in school, and seemed self-confident, if a bit impatient to catch up with their peers. Maybe that is where the assumption comes from?

This is an excellent question, and one that probably deserves its own thread. However, I’ll try to keep this relatively short. While there is no direct example for comparison, we do have information about a wide variety of body modifications around the world, many of them used as rites of passage: tattooing, scarification, piercings, circumcision, clitoridectomy, etc.

Circumcision is widely practiced, not just as routine infant circumcision, but as a rite of passage. In Moslem culture, the timing can vary, but circumcision is most frequent between ages seven and thirteen. Boys anxiously look forward to their genital mutilation. In some parts of the United States, as many as 90% of infant boys were circumcised. It was just seen as normal and most boys didn’t care or didn’t even notice. The fad is declining although as many as 50% of boys are still being circumcised in some regions of the U.S.

Clitoridectomy (removal of a girl’s clitoris) has been practiced in some cultures since ancient times and is still found in many areas. Subincision (splitting open the underside of the penis) was traditionally practiced as a rite of passage in parts of Australia, Fiji, and the Amazon Basin. In parts of Micronesia and of the Horn of Africa, hemicastration (removal of one testicle) was practiced as a rite of passage into adulthood. These are culturally accepted practices and most boys and girls look forward to them in the cultures where they are common.

The closest we can come to an acceptance of routine castration would be Italy at the height of the popularity of castrati. It is estimated that at the peak, over 3000 boys were castrated every year in the Italian Peninsula. Apprenticeship contracts for boys sometimes specified who would be responsible for paying the surgeon for their castration. Some boys from poor families sought funds from local officials to pay for their own castrations. Some families had multiple sons castrated as each became of age for the surgery. In the well-documented Melani family, for example, the second son, Atto, was castrated at age ten and three of his younger brothers were each castrated when they attained about that age. All became members of the local cathedral choir.

We currently have an increase of what has been termed “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” among young pre-teen and teenage girls. These girls suddenly “discover” that they are gender dysphoric and are really male. They seek breast reduction (if they have already started to develop) and testosterone treatment to masculinize their bodies. There is current academic dispute as to whether the dysphoria is real or is a form of social contagion.

What the girls are seeking is quite close in effect to a male seeking castration to prevent masculinization, with or without estrogen treatment.

All of that doesn’t really answer the question, but it should provide food for thought toward an answer.

Thanks for the response Jesus, and I agree that my question is off-topic for this thread. (I don't know if one of the mods can split it off into a different thread - I wouldn't mind...)

I can imagine the sort of 'cultural acceptance' that you describe, looking at different customs considered 'acceptable' around the world, it doesn't seem like a huge stretch to see routine castration becoming an accepted rite of passage....

What I was more thinking of is the rough sequence of Junior getting to puberty age, and showing an increased interest in girls, but also behavior problems and bad grades... (I'd agree this seems like the normal pattern - I once worked as a substitute teacher and it definitely seemed like middle school boys (grades 6-9) were the most obnoxious of all the grades.) It seems totally consistent that castrating him would reduce the interest in girls, but I'm not as sure about the claims of improved grades and behavior.... To the extent that the bad behavior is 'showing off' to impress the girls, and bad grades because of 'distraction' I could see how fixing him could reduce it, but was wondering if there was any clear data about it....

Obviously (and maybe fortunately) boys aren't getting intentionally castrated these days, but I'd imagine that at least some would lose their bits due to accidents or medical problems - and wondered if anyone had looked at the results of that....

Splitting it off into its own thread would be too much work. It's fine!
