took my first DP injection last night it went very well wasnt as uncomfortable as i expected today i must say i havnt really noticed that much difference maybe a little calmer but i wondered how long the effects took to kick in for other people?

When I took the injection (1.5 cc) I always felt a SLIGHT ache in the genitals (penis and balls) within two or three hours, the pain is hardly perceptable, but it is there for maybe an hour. I figure it is just the reduced blood flow there. The next day after my first injection, I noticed a very real reduction in the size of my penis and scrotum was all shrunk up tight. I liked it that way.

The whole time I was on DP injections (four months), my penis was VERY small and I truly prefer it that way. Most of the time, my penis was COMPLETELY retracted up inside me, so it really did look almost like I had a large belly-button there. When I peed, I would usually sit down and it dribbled out, not in a stream. When I wanted to be sure I still HAD a penis, I would spread the skin back a bit and tug (gently) and pull it out. It would sorta stick out, but if I just let it, it would retract back inside.

When I quit taking DP, my penis came back, but not to it's previous size (about 5 1/2") and I have read that most men have a slight but permanent reduction in the size of their penis after being on DP. The longer you are on it, the more reduction and the more permanent the reduction. I did not mind one bit, I am acutally happier with the smaller package (now about 4") and would prefer a permanent castration effect but sadly, my sex drive came back, albeit somewhat reduced. It remains somewhat lower than before, even now five years after my last injection.

Some other effects I noticed:

About three or four days after my first injection I was able to smell things that had before been imperceptible to me. I had to re-wash my bedding and all my clothes, especially my t-shirts because I could smell the testosterone sweat that was on my bed sheets, pillow case and t-shirts. Ever since, I have been a bit self conscious about that "man smell" that men themselves do not notice, but women and eunuchs can smell it and it is a strong (but not unpleasant) odor. Now that I am off the DP, I do not smell it anymore, but I know it is there. Most women do not find that smell unpleasant. If your experience is anything like mine, I suggest you get ready to wash your bedding so you can get a good night's sleep without that "man smell" that you will soon be aware of. Once you lower your testosterone level, you will no longer emit that man smell. I do not know if women might treat you differently, but I think they will be able to sense subconsciously that you are not a "man" anymore so they will probably feel less intimidated or afraid of you.

The day after my first injection and for the whole time I was on DP, I noticed how much calmer and happier I was. On this, I find my experience was quite unlike what I read here at the eunuch archive. Everyone else says unanimously that they went into a depression, some severe, some only mild, but everyone else says they had a depression of some sort. I am probably the only one here who felt only happier, I was no longer "angry at the world" and things that used to really bother me (neighbor's loud stereo, watching news on TV, driving in bad traffic, etc.) did not bother me at all like they used to. Although, I DID about once a week have some sort of emotional feeling "episode" that I cannot really describe accurately. Just to offer an example, one day, I was looking for a car part in a junk yard, walking between junked cars, suddenly, I remembered the previous weekend that I was visiting my mother, and had met my niece and her two year old daughter there. For a period of about ten minutes I was on the verge of tears thinking about the little girl and her single mother (my niece), worrying and wondering how that little girl would grow up. Remembering how cute the kid was when she sang nursery songs. Now I did not break down and cry, but I FELT for them. In some ways, it was like being a little kid myself again. Remember what your feeling were like when you were a child? Maybe you were more easily saddened when you saw and animal get hurt or maybe if you saw a dog or cat dead by the roadside and you FELT for it? Myself, I quit FEELING the misery of others when I was a teenager, I was still aware of other's pain, and I still felt sorry, but not like when I was a child and would practically cry everytime I saw an animal die. Well, if your experience is anything like mine... get ready to FEEL again. I do not think this is a bad thing, I really enjoyed being sensitive again and I think most men would benefit from this experience, but I can see how some men/eunuchs might be driven into a depression if they are not ready for the renewed sensitivity.

I also noticed that I was not as "ballsey" as I used to be. I did not turn into a cowering hermit, but I DID notice that I really did not like the dark, and was a lot more mindful of locking doors at night. I slept with my living room light on and a nightlight in my bedroom. I really, really wanted someone to sleep with, NOT to have sex with, but someone to sleep next to. Now, I can understand why some women stick with crummy husbands or boyfriends, and tollerate so much shit from their men. When you do not have all that testosterone, you come to want someone to be there. I was sorta worried that at this vulnerable frame of mind that I was in, I could have been very easily taken advantage of by some con-man (or con-woman). There were some nights when I wanted so badly for some company that I would have taken anyone to my bed... luckily for me no one took advantage of me. I hope you do not live alone or if you do, I hope you have a trustworthy girlfriend or boyfriend who can understand that sometimes, you might want to just sleep next to someone (and not have any sexual urge at all).

I also noticed reduction in strength, it was not really dramatic, but there is clearly a loss of strength. Mostly I noticed that I would get "winded out" a lot sooner than before. For all the benefits, this slight loss of strength and breath was a small price to pay.

Of all the effects, the most noteworthy for me was the just how much happier I was, so I guess my experience was unique in that I had NO depression at all.

For me it was about the third week I realey started feeling the effects and after that once a month at the doctors office did the trick.

i hope my experience is very much like deaconblues, im also trying to do research via the web as to anything that will cause a permanent reduction in genital size (without surgery) what i would like is my testicles to be like olives and a 1 inch penis basically making it useless for anything other that urinating
