Hello Everyone,
This seems like a fitting forum to post a new poll.
I would like to pose a question to all that are, or have been chemically castrated. How long was it before some type of physical castration was perfomed or planed to be done (eg. Castration, SRS, Nullification)? I am going on 3 years now being chemically castrated. My goal is to obtain SRS before 5 years. From information that I have gathered , less that 5 years is acceptable. If any have gone beyond 5 years, I would be intersted in hearing if you had any complications.

OH BOY, I was the first one to vote on your poll.
I decided on one year, I used a drug (not yet approved in the USA) called Androcur. It had the right effect in that it gave me a chance to experience what being a eunuch would be like before going to the doctor. I would recommend it but I also know that others want something different for there castration.
Remember if you are using any drug make sure your doctor is monitoring your condition throughout the process and after.
Have fun and play safe.

Andrew,
Are you getting paid to advertise for Dr. Kimmel?

Christina, I'd love to vote in your poll.
Sadly, I can't. I'm 7 months into using androcur and I have been told that I shall be on it a year.
I fit in the category that still remain on androcur and I think
(trust) that by know the result is permanent - 2x50mg tablets
a day.
Things certainly feel very comfortable and permanent.
If my urologist faces me with surgical decisions I will face that
but if he suggests continuing supervised treatment with androcur,
I'll be happy with that. As long as I remain a eunuch I'll be happy.
