I suspect, though, that one would need to take a very high dose to accomplish this (higher than the 8mg a day I'm currently on) which could be potentially unhealthy (hence the need to add an anti-antrogen to lower estrogen doses). Estrogens, can and will, give you feminizing effects.

I have gone from normal male hormone levels, through castration, and I'm now at normal female hormone levels. I can, and still do, have orgasms if I so desire. Granted, my orgasms are totaly dry and they do feel much different than I had as a male. I can now be a compassionate, caring and loving person without the raging desire for sex every second of the day.

If you are just seeking a lower libido through this method of an estrogen only regiment, you may just lose your interest in sex altogether. Then again, perhaps the estrogen may still give you a completely different sex drive.

Most folks here (ie: eunuchs) seek to eliminate libido for good (with the exception of some who take low doses of estrogen for health benifits). While others (ie: transsexuals) eliminate testosterone altogether (still retaining a small amout such as found in a normal female) while simutainiously increasing estrogen levels to female ranges.
