Prefrontal Cortex

[Blaise (imported)]

Intersting thread. I think that I once had a prefrontal cortex.

Castroboi, (hey, this doesn't have anything to do with Fidel, does it?)

(bad joke... )

Anyway,

After having had a problem with Smitfraud-C, a particularlly nasty malware-trojan combination that I plan on starting a thread about in the technical area of this message board, and as a result being absent for the most part for several days, I somehow found this thread.

To start off with, Colin is absolutly right stating that the Pitutary gland is the master controlling gland of the body. Also, nullorchis has much to say on this subject.

To add my meager knowledge to theirs I would like to add that everybody's body chemistry while simiar, is nevertheless quite unique. There exists in the body a tendency to produce natural blockers for hormones.

For example, the pitutary growth hormone has associated with it a blocking agent that when present blocks the growing effect of this hormone. Individuals with normal pitutary growth hormone levels sometimes do not grow for this reason. In other words, because of individual chemistry and because of genetic predisposition regarding the amount of hormone secretion, as Jema says YMMV

As far as discussion of testosterone, or "T" goes, levels present in the body are sometimes low, but normal functioning occurs because of the low levels of natural blockers of Testosterone. Click here (http://www.raysahelian.com/dht.html) and read up.

So, even though your "T" levels may be low your body chemistry can have a tendency to compensate and it certainly has the ability to do so. IF you are worried about brain growth I would suspect that the brain ( the cerebral cortex) where the connections that govern brain activity are located, are certainly affected much more by other things than by testosterone.

Especially in light of the blocking agents, some of which it is quite possible science knows nothing of their existance, let alone what they do.

Castration obsessions are much more deeply rooted in the psyche than almost anyone cares to admit and as such are exquisitly repressed almost to the point neurosis in some individuals.

However, your 'need' for this is something that you have embraced and therefore it is now something that you seem to be unconsciously searching for reasons to be resistant, despite the fact that you are here asking.

Therefore, IF you are worried more about the rest of your body than you are about castration, that is a start at being able to release your feelings and explore why it is so important to YOU.

I, too, highly recommend that you back off from this castration obsession for now and allow it to "normalize" so that you might see it in different perspectives. Not for the same reasons that you state I come to the same conclusion that you have that this is not a course for you to take now.

In other words, you can always cut them off, but you can NEVER grow them back again, so what's your hurry?

Be sure it is what you want. If you decide to use androgen blockers be darn sure that the effects are reversable. There are substances available that will shut down your testicles permanently so be careful what you do.

O.K.?

I do have a considerable medicine full body medicine. The libido is only a tiny fraction of why I want them gone, for as long as I can remember I wanted them gone. Its a desire that took root in my heart for unknown reasons but I am just not happy like I could be but hey I got four years to do soul searching.

Maybe many people don't know extactly why the want to be castrated. I don't know exactly why I was interested in castration, but this interst has never gone away.

It's one thing to think about it, but it's a totally different thing to do it!
