I was wondering something. When I was castrated two years ago, I had it done for a lot of the same reasons as most of the voluntary eunuchs here (decreased libido, eunuch calm, etc.). But looking back I suspect the fact that castration is so strongly taboo in our culture was also a part of its appeal. I mean, there are fewer ways to place yourself squarely outside the mainstream than to modify or remove your genitalia, which can be attractive to social innovators and those with a strong desire to be different. So I want to ask the voluntary eunuchs (and wannabes) here whether the taboo nature of castration plays any role in why they had it done (or want it done). Any thoughts?

the taboo nature of castration . good question

no, it did not have any roll in the decision process

Being different is fine but my surgery had nothing to do with that. It was pretty simple. PAIN! I also wasn't too keen on my atrophied natal testicles. (More macho male stuff)

Social rebellion, you bet. There is validity in removing a useless or detrimental part of oneself. A "perverted" submissive sexuality only works to serve another, or only serves an abusive social order. There is no "religion" to protect a submissive male from abuse. There are no social protections, if anything the system just abuses you more. Your just fucked!

A severe beating at the age of 4 or 5, and years of abuse in the name of feminism, turned me into a submissive male. My mind has been altered. Today, I would never allow a woman into my home. It would be like a sheep opening the door to a wolf. Cutting your nuts off takes it one step further.

So here, castration to avoid a life of more use, abuse, and turmoil as well as serving the social order could be view as social rebellion, most defineatly.

A good point. I am sure that castration can serve as a form of rebellion. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it played some part, among other factors. in my decision to be castrated. --FLO--

I am a wannabe Eunuch (at the moment but eventually want all my male bits eliminated) but it has nothing to do with social rebellion. I do find it funny, however, something I want for myself makes your average guy cringe.

Dunno, I can think of much easier and cost-effective ways to mark one's self as different. A facial tattoo, a nose ring, a funny haircut, a trenchcoat in July, or a Borat speedo perhaps. What is or isn't in my pants isn't exactly visible for the rest of the world to see, and I'm glad. I mean, what if everybody had x-ray vision? :shakemitk

Than we would all be the same.

I have seen quite a few who have actually taken it like a taboo.

Especially us younger guys need to try something like depo provera or something else if it is soething wanted.

However I have heard a few younger guys who were much happier after a while after they hadthem rmeoved as they were not fighting being agressive and raping other girls. I have seen a positive effect, I howveer have heard another story where this other guy was notso happy about loosing them and goingthrough counceling as he had commited rape ona minor mid 20's as well as had other sexual issues and charges in the past. He however became a better person in society and decided to settle down. Must be Testicular hypofunction as this does exist and it can be treated as well.

It is a very diverse thing that people can do for various reasons.

Quite the contrary. No one knows of my desire to be castrated, or of my current treatment (siterone) to reduce testosterone. Social rebellion has nothing to do with it. While I do not strive to "fit in" with the norm, I just don't need the complexities of being gawked at because my balls were removed, or because I voluntarily reduced my testosterone via chemicals. Should I ever obtain the opportunity to be surgically castrated I would do everything possible to keep it a secret. In that I am not sexually active that would not be difficult. Eventually though a MD exam would reveal the obvious. But I would have to try and make it due to some medical reason, not due to a voluntary choice. Thus, I am not fearful about being castrated, but am quite fearful in being found out that I was castrated by choice.
