What makes you want to do it? -and is it ok if you do?

Understanding motivation for castration seems important to placing fantasy and need in their rightful places?
Fantasy is fun -and part of life, but as underlined so often here, is quickly and permanently tragic when confused with need.
Kristoff, Jesus and the founding crew here have scholarly and insightful postings as to the state of the psyche when castration is sought voluntarily. Excellent! Some descriptions, I must say seem to me to come perilously close to crazy, but the world needs all sorts, or it would be dull indeed.
I have read about BIID here and it struck me definitely the other side of crazy -at first. Then, a little reflection and I recall how it felt with a painful medical condition. I had no wish to keep an uncomfortable and dangerous inflamed appendix, and nobody thought me unhinged for wanting it cut out. Loss of testicles for congenital and acquired disease causes felt different: pain bad - I wanted them gone, not so bad - I wanted no part of castration. Eventually, necessity took over, and I remember wondering... "tomorrow, I'll be a eunuch."
At that point, I wanted it done soonest, but had little idea what to expect. It was exciting, as it had to do with identity, sexual, interpersonal and one's own body image. Did i have a transient BIID? Probably not, but it made me much more forgiving and related to those who do.
Now I have an itchy unwanted and useless scrotum (pardon if TMI!) and would welcome elective surgery for its removal. Is this a shade of BIID too? Each time there is a mix of a wish for surgery and a need. Who is to say what the socially acceptable mix should be? Easy to be more censorious than logical or even understanding.
Plastic surgeons often rely, I suspect, on our ready acceptance of another procedure. Maybe we wish to enhance our pleasure from a previous satisfactory result, or to improve a disappointing outcome. Does that mean we are entitled to scrotal removal after castration, and penectomy maybe including nullification after that? It may surprise you, but I rather think we are, subject to some strong conditions: the result must be considered permanent or at least not reversible, and be for our own pursuit of happiness rather than to please another. This body does, after all, belong to us to use and enjoy; it doesn't preserve well for ever.
So, with that said, I support the folk here who want castration, penectomy, nullification, including the folks who might enjoy a "capping" or perhaps the acquisition of a pussy! -But its irreversible consequence must be understood and the procedure must be performed under the safest of surgical conditions; I find "cutters" hard to condone.
So, you want that nullo job in Thailand? Go for it and enjoy! -but not without proper circumspection and advice.
Will they think you crazy? Maybe, but that must come with everything else into the circumspection...
Be wisely happy. Different is ok.
