The reference to "rubberiness" in post #27 above, reminded me of a joke I read on one of these message boards. Could have been this one, but I don't think so, as I usually don't access the joke section here.

Anyway, I don't recall the first section of the joke, but at the end of it, an uncastrated ...

Maybe I misread the earlier post, but isn't post #29 above, in contradiction to a post on an earlier thread, where the author recounted how she encountered a boatload of naked people on a lake in Texas, and one of the persons on the other boat was described as having his male organ swell up? Did she ...

I post to and read a lot of message boards. I can tell you that several message boards I have accessed in the past, were ruined by people posting on them who had no civility, no common sense, or no ability to use restraint. If asked to decide between censorship and .license, I choose censorship

Judging from the first post in this thread, in venturing west of the Pecos, Yoli experienced a wide variety of interactions with nature's animals, both during the live-long day and after the fall of night, as well as perusing a volume authored by a stripper, and then herself stripping, and ...

I'm curious as to whether the cultural context in which paraphilias occur, is considered to be a determining factor in whether the person's thoughts and behaviors constitute a paraphilic disorder. There have been--and presumably are--cultures in which some of the things which are described as ...

It was mentioned that estrogen is produced by conversion from testosterone in the body. I found some references which indicate that estrogen is produced directly in the testes. In this article, a level of 20% of estrogen produced in the testes is specified. No idea if it is correct.

Since the testes do produce estrogen as well as testosterone, I'm curious as to whether anybody has investigated whether there could be a connection between the level of estrogen produced by the male gonads, and things like ambivalence about gender identity, and the desire for orchiectomy. A high ...

As we all know, the internet is one of the least regulated zones of human interaction, and many of us have had contact with some of the less happy implications of that. Years ago, I read that at least one acting class had as a class assignment, concocting a role for the student to play in a chat ...

I got the idea for this thread when I looked to see if there were any recent posts by female members, and didn't find any. (They might be there, but I didn't see any.)

Anyway, my thought was, that maybe girls and women who access this site, or who might access it, don't become members because they ...

I read someplace that there is some AIDS infection among hijras in South Asia, a considerable number of whom work as prostitutes.

I'm just curious as to whether you think your involvement with the story section of the archive, had any influence in your definition of your real orientation. If you've taken courses in creative writing, or otherwise studied the craft of writing, you must have read or heard of the theory ...

For what it's worth, I watched a few of the episodes of a show on the travel channel about a tribe in the Amazon that mostly doesn't wear any clothes (some of the men appeared to wear phallic sheaths.) Like some of the people mentioned in earlier posts, once you've seen all these people nude for a ...

What raised this question, the other day I was in the bank branch where I used to do most of my banking, and I remebered the security guard who used to work there. The individual was well over sixty years old (I think) and I never really figured out if he or she was a man or a woman. The shirt on ...

This calls to mind the passage in the Bible about "eunuchs from their mothers' wombs." I think this is sometimes considered to be a reference to individuals with undescended testes, but I would think that a small percentage of people are in fact born with a penis but no testes, and so could be ...

I read somewhere that hijras in India can now have the fact that they are eunuchs, listed in the place where the person's gender is indicated on their passports. That is to say, hijras must have official standing under the law, at least in this area, in India. I wonder if there is any official ...

I may be wrong about this, but I get the impression that, to some women, sexual congress with a eunuch, isn't considered to be real marital infidelity. I can guarantee you that a lot of men wouldn't agree, especially if the eunuch has prosthetic implants and takes HRT, which would make it hard to ...

Great to hear you can get your finances in order. You must have a good lawyer and a good judge for your conservatorship. Doubt that they would have ever approved the transfer of your mother's assets in the state where I reside, but of course it's just common sense to do it, assuming that's ...

Good to hear that you got conservatorship over your mother's assets and, at least to some extent, over her care and her circumstances. If your financial profile is as thin as you've indicated, it's surprising that you were granted the conservatorship, especially considering the usual bonding ...

I'm not sure how long this website has been in operation, but I think I've read it goes back to the 1990s. And there are a number of people involved with the Archive who, as far as I can tell, have been active in affairs related to those who want orchiectomies, or who have had the surgery, for as ...

I have to wonder if there is a cultural element which affects the matter of children and adolescents wanting to have the testes removed. According to what I have read, there are a number of cultures (e.g. some in Polynesia) in which it is socially recognized, that there are a number of possible ...

Not sure about this, but I think that the goddess Kali, worshiped by hijras in South Asia, can be traced to remote antiquity. I wonder if there is any connection between Kali and Cybele.

I realize that therapeutic orchiectomy is a tangential matter relative to this discussion, but, out of curiosity, is there a standard protocol for the care of those for whom orchiectomy is a treatment for prostate malignancy? In principle, removal of the testes should be no different than removal of ...

It's understandable if you think it's dangerous to ride a bicycle, but someone riding a bike can travel at least three times as fast as you can zum Fuss, and you get a lot less tired. I'm not familiar with your part of the San Bernardino area, but I don't remember San Bernardino itself as ...

Of course, Plix and Jesus are both correct in saying that someone can still be considered a man after the testes are removed. I myself have indicated that in other posts. In my original post in this thread, I was trying to put myself in the place of someone (probably a woman) who had just learned ...
