What about resolving "Anger Issues"

via castration and lowering the big, T.

Wouldn't it be a matter of why one became a Eunuch? If it is involuntary due to an accident or cancer, I would imagine the person would not be a happy Eunuch. Even on the forum I have read about people who wanted to be castrated who srill had a deep depression after the fact. I imagine its an individual thing, although if you wanted it, you are much more likely to be happy afterwards.

Moi, I agree the calmer more serene water on which we swim like swans is less angry!

Wolf Pup, You are right and there are many reason why we become eunuchs. For me it was nothing to do with libido, or anger, it was because I have never felt right with dangly bits between my legs and I am so much happier now that 2 out of three are gone. I love libido and definitely do not want that to go, so my estrogen and progesterone deal with that.

When I am conscoius of the empty space or feel it, I smile one of contentment, like a cat purring!

Hmm. One would think so. I didn't like being nutted but now have more than adjusted to it and am probably happier than before. Maybe contentment is a choice?

I am overall more at peace at least! As for happy I never considered myself as happy or unhappy really. I am more content with how I am now! Life still has its ups and downs and I expect will as long as I live and I have to choose how to react!

According to many philosophers, you can't choose to be happy, but you can choose to be content.

Happiness = Reality - Expectation

this is the "happiness equation" from modern economics. It says that happiness has a large component of mental influence. Your expectations of reality have a huge effect and fortunately with attention your expectations are somewhat under control - whereas reality can be, shall we say, recalcitrant? We can all probably think of examples where expectations defeated our happiness or where reality greatly exceeded our expectations and we were suddenly very happy. It is a trick of mental discipline to manage your expectations. I am new here and trying to learn about what to expect in terms of physiological changes from castration - so if I go ahead, I can do so happily (knowing what to expect and honestly expecting it to be a little bit worse than it turns out makes all the difference!)
