I know what you mean seanthomas. Back in 2005 I asked my doctor for meds to lower my testosterone because my (late) wife was on hormone reducing meds for breast cancer, and my sex drive was much higher than hers. Would you believe, the doctor said it's not a treatable condition, and even suggested I ...

I can relate to your story StubbyHD. My wife's breast cancer treatments reduced her sexual urges and ability, leaving me frustrated. I went on cyproterone to lower my sex urge. Strangely, my doing that 'for her' turned her on somewhat and we became closer, including some nice sex. I tend to agree ...

The Burdizzo is only meant to clamp across the spermatic chord held against the edge of the scrotum (the Burdizzo's jaws definitely shouldn't bite right across the scrotum). Therefore the scrotum's blood supply is not affected. But crushing the chord damages the blood supply to the testicle which ...

As a I understand it, free testosterone in your bloodstream fluctuates throughout the 24 hour day and from day to day so the only way to get an accurate measurement is to be tested several times then average the results. I would urge you to try chemical castration first as the side effects of ...

Sounds like a good enough theory to me janekane. If you hold a flesh wound together (with pressure, sutures, etc.) for long enough, the tissues join. I tend to think that the main reason Burdizzo castrations fail is because people don't hold the clamp shut for long enough. But that doesn't explain ...

I would think it's a bit too early to know if it's worked. The chords were simply crushed (not severed or removed) so they will still be there when you feel for them, and although just after crushing they would still have a groove across them in the place where the jaws flattened them, the tissues ...

Sounds like you need to explore your gender/body identity issues with an expert counsellor first. If you then want to explore the effects of castration then try the chemical methods before considering surgery. To say that 'you don't tolerate medication well' is very unspecific. The main problems ...

It might be possible to get surgical steel balls from one of the bigger body jewellery suppliers, but whether you'll find a surgeon who'll put them in for you is another matter. However, it is possible to get replacement (silicone) balls inserted. But you say you've had most of your scrotum removed ...

It originally started as an injured knee. I had stopped the cyproterone. the knee and leg improved. Then I experimented,

I went back on the Cyproterone and my calf muscle blew up like a balloon and felt like the skin could could rupture.



I guess it's possible that on Cyproterone your immune ...

..
. Then I change my mind stop the injections and

ordered Cyproterone

It seemed to start working really well. The I started having side effects,it cause my right leg to swell from the knee down.

So I decided not use any drugs...



I have never heard of Cyproterone causing swollen legs. And ...

I completely share cananite's view of facebook. I have a profile there but don't use it since having to tell one of my son's friends: "No, sorry. I don't want you to copy my family photo and re-blog it all over the place in order to embarrass my son" (which he was gleefully threatening to do). That ...

I think you're getting some good advice here Eunuchus. When you say you're not getting support from your doctor and psychotherapist, I know what you mean, but really they are giving you the support that they 'hand on heart' believe is right. It might not be what you want to hear though, and that's ...

As you hadn't posted much before this thread it was difficult to know if you were serious or fantasising, but it's important to give a straightforward response anyway and it's just as well that you don't seem to mind that not everyone was supportive of your plan. From what I have read it seems that ...

Response to frankwilder:

My situation is very similar to yours. I'm 55 and my wife is 59. She became menopausal about 15 years ago, and it was around that time when we first mused over the idea of castration as a 'fix' for our sex drive mis-match. It's a long story, but she developed breast cancer ...

Thanks to you all for the replies. Some thought provoking stuff. I looked up the various drugs on wikipedia, it made them sound a bit scary but then if you read the side effects I guess you'd never take anything.



That's true, but in the case of testosterone reducing drugs there are plenty of ...

she is very insecure and does receive constant reassurance but my orientation is what scares her. although i make it very clear, my orientation wont change. its the same now as it was then. i had those needs before, but i love her and am committed to her, so whats different now.

Hi kyennamo,

Well done for joining in. It always seems a shame when guys can't tell their spouses of their interest in castration. My wife has been very supportive and understanding, and I'm very pleased to hear that your wife is so supportive. Now that you've mostly come clean with her and she's ...

chemcast scot has a point. Your wife's probably very worried about the implications of your coming out as bisexual. I expect it's making her feel insecure.

Who's idea was it to look into libido reduction? Hers or yours? Which one of you found this website? I'm asking because I feel that if it's ...

Thanks for that no balls. I'm sure you're right, in that it depends upon how you approach the doctor. It also depends upon the doctor being receptive to the idea. But what I'm trying to get at is that for 'healthy' men with high sex drives, hormone management isn't a recognised treatment. I suspect ...

Experienced EA members seem to agree that if you really think you want to be castrated then you should try chemical castration for 6 months or more. Bearing that in mind, rather than ordering the drugs over the internet, shouldn't we be asking our doctors for chemical castration so that they know ...

Any unpleasant side effects?

Hi Charlie.

Interesting post. I have tried cyproterone acetate (CA) and I was surprised by how lethargic I became after a few days. I was hardly sleeping because my legs felt so hot and prickly. I wasn't sure if the lethargy was because I'd become grossly tired or if it was directly linked to my ...

Very interesting story. Many thanks for sharing.

That was my line of thinking......

.......
I'd want to keep the empty scrotum for a bit, just in case I missed its contents too much and wanted to put prosthetic balls in it.......



I understand that prosthetic balls are best put at the time of castration, but there is still a failure rate with ...
