Hello Dear Reader.
Having perused this site for in excess of 20 years under various guises, it strikes me that contributions have been somewhat sparse of late.
For those minimally interested, please allow me to vent my story:
I have always had a castration fascination. For as young as I can remember.
This, however, became all encompassing when, 18 years ago, I developed chronic orchagia.
I would walk home from a restaurant and collapse in the street due to the pain. I would have to pull over to the side when driving due to the pain. I was admitted to hospital several times and given morphine. Not condoning such but I can understand why heroin addicts enjoy their pastimes!
The NHS (in the UK) was not interested. I had various scans and even invasive procedures in an attempt to identify the issue.
I sought private medical care at significant expense. The answers were all the same:
Tight underwear and opiates of choice. I dislike both.
I spent years on chemical castration and was markedly relieved by the results. No pain. No issues,
Wonderful!
Then my wife wanted children. And so did I. So after a long interlude without drugs she conceived. We have two beautiful daughters.
Some years later the marriage dissolved and I remained with full T.
Years later. after finding the love of my life, and explaining the condition to her, I re-embarked upon chemical castration. That was three years ago.
I could not be happier. She is peri-menopausal. I have the sex drive of a dead badger and we are in harmony. And pain free.
Long term use of steroidal sex hormones is not recommended so I am currently in the process of trying to convince a private clinic (in the UK) to cut my balls off for the legitimate reason of orchaglia.
My partner does not want me to visit Mexico although I fear, despite how much money I throw at the heath system, that might be an inevitable eventuality.
However. I love being T free and will remain such. I don't shout at the TV quite so much. I don't get road rage. I feel calmer and more agreeable.
That is me. A man. Still a man. A huge amount of facial piercings. In a heterosexual relationship but very proud to be a chemical eunuch. And hopefully soon a physical one.
I genuinely believe that the world would be a better place with slightly less testosterone.

Thank you for your frank story!
Surely this happens not only to you and therefore it is useful for many to know...

If you've been here for a while, you have probably seen the postings by magusuk89, another of our members from the UK who had a back-story that sounds quite similar to yours in terms of testicular pain problems...
He fought for years to get an orchie in the UK, without success. He finally did a trip to Mexico to get castrated a few months ago, and as far as I've read here, was very happy with the care he got at Dr. A's clinic and the results of the surgery. Seems all of our health care systems suck for different reasons and judging from Magus' experiences and what I've seen of postings from others, for getting fixed it seems like Mexico may be your best option, if you can talk your wife into it.... I don't know if it would do any good to show her any of Magus' postings and / or possibly reach out to him in PM's to see if he can help relieve her objections.

I have been in contact with magus via email a while ago. We are hopefully due to meet up for a pint but family issues have so far prevented me from confirming a date. He's a great chap. Very interesting and extremely well educated. Sexuality aside, our respective stories certainly share similarities and I can see Mexico as an inevitable eventuality.
Still, I will give the private practice the opportunity to decline my request after writing a hefty cheque next month!

The MTC are very friendly and helpful. I asked multiple questions via email of Paris, their intake person, before having a phone consultation with the Dr. He was very nice and professional. Gave me some advice on realistic times to plan to be there and why. Answered all my questions, and then said he would be happy to doy orchiectomy and scrotectomy. He told me what blood tests I would need before travel, or I could travel a day early and have them done there. They have very reasonable prices, and I haven't seen a bad review.

Glad to hear you are ahead of me on talking w/ Magus..... He has always struck me as a very good and helpful sort. I hope you get a useful response from the clinic you are currently dealing with, keep us posted on how things work out.

Will do!
The initial consultation is £400 and the surgery itself, including scrotectomy, is £8500. Convert that to Dollars and suddenly your eyes start to bleed.
That said, it saves me £6000 in air fares (don't do cattle class) so perhaps I need to listen to my other half and keep things local.
There is sadly no guarantee that I will be approved for the procedure. It always amazes me that it costs £120 for me to have my dog fixed with no questions asked. And yet......

Yes they really rip you off in the medical business... I don't know if you saw the thread I started about the numbers for my surgery... Fortunately for my wallet, I'm on Medicare and Mass Health which covered everything, but I get these reports about what Medicare says they paid, and it was seriously mind boggling... Ironically the vet could probably do us better than the surgeons from having had more practice on this operation....
I won't push the prohibited political button by saying what I think about the whole medical regulation system other than to note that having competition in other fields seems really consistent in lowering costs and increasing quality....

If you want to get political then PM me. I feel that we might be on the same page. And I LOVE politics. My other half lectures in American Politics for a living so I can't avoid it!
