Welcome to the group CuriousTom. This site has a huge amount of information from a very broad cross section of interests, desires, and needs. However, and I will let an admin fill in details, mentioning or seeking cutters is a great way to be banned from not only this forum, any honest forum. Safety ...

Also a married man. We did a four year chemical trial that turned out to be a way of life. After your six-month experiment you should have gotten a flavor if it is right for you and the relationship. In our case I was monitored by our doctor.

There are no solid evidence of chemical castration being ...

Another prayer for Uncle Flo. Cancer it a bitch but there are a lot of new aggressive treatments. Hoping for the best but understand the seriousness of this. Hang in there.

1. If you have already had genital surgery, was it a castration (i.e. an orchiectomy only), a penectomy, or a nullification (i.e., both an orchiectomy and a penectomy)?

orchiectomy -- by a local urologist in the USA.


2. What hormones or hormone blockers, if any, were you on:

a. before your ...

You are not alone. There are quite a few married men with similar stories. With us, a bit different reason but the same end results. Mismatched libido with my wife. Initiated a discussion on this. She did not want her drive increase. So, did a four year chem trial. Then ethanol injections when she ...

Glad your wife is supportive. I could have not done it wi5hout my wife's total support. Saved our marriage.

Don

Comfort, yes! Never realized how much more comfortable it is to do something simple like crossing your legs.

Don

Mbrace05 ... great news. I had mine done late last year by a local urologist. Easy operation. Welcome to the club.

Was easier than my old-fashioned scalpel vasectomy. Wife later said we should have had an orchiectomy instead of that vasectomy.

Glad to see you here,

Don

Great to see a regular in the chat room being a moderator here. Cool move.

Anyone can just say they had a vasectomy. On the other hand ...

Nulloneed,

I would be cautious about doing half-steps. For example, it may be much harder, surgically, to shrink a penis thant to remove it. I was on Androcur for a few years and it gives you a great idea what it is like to be castrated. Outside of the greater comfort without balls, there was ...

Seanthomas ... understand your change. Mine was due to a mutual decision with my wife (mismatched libido). But, we experienced all you talked about. Have not removed the empty scrotum. Has been about ten months since my orchiectomy, seems fine having the extra flap.

I recently had to go back on ...

I have been chatting with him for many years. Always a gentleman (unless talking about his ex). Will miss him -- he was one reason I loved this group.

Don

You will find you are not alone in this varied group. Many couples have mismatched libido. With us we first did a chemical trial. After a few years it became a way of life and saved our marriage. Don

Too bad we are in "shelter-at-home" status. Missed the festivities and parade this year! Don

Experiment nailed it. In addition, if the goal is very low testosterone/libido there are side effects to consider. A chemical trial is reversible. Also helps to have a supportive partner. Several times during my chem trial I wanted to quit. My wife was my rock, helping me push through the hard parts ...

Otto,

There are a lot of married men in this forum with a similar background to yours. My wife after having kids gradually lost her libido. I was castrated in October by a local urologist. But it took a bit of persistence to achieve our goal. We played up the pain angle (was true but not that much ...

Amazon and Redbubble.com have them. Amazon has the bold "EUNUCH AND PROUD" shirt while Redbubble has more subtle that just state "EUNUCH."

Don

I wear a "EUNUCH AND PROUD" T-shirt.

Don

Mythbusters did an episode including this. Only if you are relatively close will you be shocked. Further away the stream is not continuous and will not conduct. Saw Racerboy posted similarly.

Don

Mike, I found the transition seamless. The experience was the same. Great way to have a non-permanent test run.

Don

Mike,

My story is similar to years. In our case, mismatched libido. Mine very high and my wife very low. We did a chemical castration trial for four years before doing anything permanent. After two years it became a way of life. Saved our marriage. Good luck.

Don

Welcome to the group. You will find that quite a few of us are in your situation. My wife and I did a Depo Provera and then Androcur trial for four years before deciding to make it permanent.

Don

I became a eunuch at 57. Looking back, I should have been castrated instead of my vasectomy after our last child was born, when I was 39. Only after my libido tanked did my wife say she never liked penetrative sex. Would have eliminated a lot of frustration if done earlier.

I found there is quite a bit of clarity when the fog of testosterone is lifted. My wife had a similar reaction.

Good luck,

Don
