Congratulations.

Happy for you.

Mine were removed 7 years ago though scrotum incision by urologist after an ultrasound scan showed that they were infarcted.

It took awhile to get use to nothing being in my scrotum, but very much like it now.

The only reason I do miss my balls is that I use to ...

Just something I was really noticing today and wanted to see if others have noticed this too. My pubic hair has really thinned out. It is also a lot softer and not as coarse. The growth pattern has changed to resemble a V shape. It used to just be a total forest!! I also noticed that there is no ...

One of the several reasons that I restarted using Androgel was to avoid my chest developing breast like size.

The other reason is to avoid osteoporosis.

Even though Androgel does not help me develop an erection, thus no orgasm, it at least helps minimize the negative side effects that low ...

Seems every time frame, and generation has many common problems, as you mention.

They just seem more common now because we have not lived in past time and we can only evaluate such issues that existed within our liifetime.

And such issues would be different in different cultures so all is relative.

Is voluntary castration becoming more popular in America, or is it just more out in the open, like in the Eunuch Archive? For me, it was a dream of many decades, and only recently did I discover 'safe' and painless ways to do it. And I did it.



This is an interesting question that may be a ...

You could always shave all the hair off your groin that way it would give a nice clean appearance.

Of course once you start doing that you need to shave with the ladies disposable shaver about once a week to keep the stubble away.

Works for me. I never get erect even though using Androgel. I once ...

Not advice, just a response:

I had no desire to be castrated, and after my balls were removed for a medical reason I had, and still have great difficulty adjusting my mental self image from gay male to gay eunuch male.

Once your balls are removed, whether this is something you want, or not ...

i Get confused over numbers.

My medical provider says that the range of Testosterone, Free Calculation in pg/ml is 47-244

My last lab test was 98

Yet a chart I found on the web says Free Testosterone in men in pg/ml should be 6.9

Then another chart shows that free testosterone for men my age ...

1 no

2 yes

3 yes

4 right

In a way I can relate to what you are saying.

Since I did not have a radical orchiectomy as mine were removed through the scrotum, the cords to my balls remain iintact.

When I massage them I feel as though I still have balls and have similar sensations that I experienced when they were still ...

I live in the San Diego Downtown area. I would like to communicate with others who have been castrated not by choice via email.

I agreed to be castrated 4 years only because of a medical reason.

I don't regret it as getting rid of my balls eliminated a lot of medical issues and pain.

But I know ...

Will the Corona Virus affect the testicles of human men as the Zika Virus does to the testes of mice?

Zika virus has a detrimental effect on testes of mice.

Zika-infected mice experience damage to the tubules that are lined with Sertoli cells, called seminifeous tubules.

The virus has been known ...

I am a male but no longer feel like a man even with TRT



My feelings exactly. I am a castrated male with a penis. Even with TRT I have no libido. I have what I call libido edging. I have an inner craving to get aroused sexually, but no amount of visual or tactile experiences brings my craving ...

On my upcoming follow up visit with my doctor later this month he will again run a lab test on testosterone.

If the number is below 300 I will inform him I want my prescription increased so that it can be above 300.

Before Androgel my lab test was 89; After Androgel they have been 105, 112, 230 ...

I had it done voluntarily, so just want to be up front about that.

There are many reasons why you could be experiencing these symptoms. It's been just under a year since this happened to yourself. Have you had any lab work done after the surgery. Often a man will have quite a different level of ...

If you are only at 105ngl, it's no wonder you are feeling sexless and depressed. Many docs will supplement if under 400. If you don't have any other health issues, there is no reason you can't be at around 700. Feeling dull, depression and bored with life are common symptoms of low T.



My ...

Hi Photoglenn, I am in my 70th year so an older, albeit more recent, member of this group and over the last decade have had a series of medical issues which I had never experienced before. Perhaps one of the problems for you is that you are not seeing this as simply a medical procedure on the ...

I now doubt myself in perhaps being too quick to say OK to my urologist's recommendation that he remove my infarcted testicles.

I should have asked more questions such as, what might happen if he did not remove them.

They were small, hard, and did not hurt when squeezed but at least there. I was ...

I just went through the same thing this year and it's been hard to deal with. I did go to counseling for a couple months and it did help. You need to see an endocrinologist they know how to do your HRT properly doctors don't know what they are doing with HRT I know this from my experience I inject ...

Thank you JessicaH. I will ask my physician about this on my next visit.

Thank You catoboros. I am adding your input to my list of things to do.

No, thankfully it was not cancer.

After my second epididymo-orchitis, very painful, and successfully treated with antibiotics, 2 weeks each time, once the pain subsided the second time my balls shrank to about half their original size and became hard and numb. When squeezed there was no pain or ...

I am a gay male, 73 years old, married to a man for over 10 years. I am Caucasian, Democrat, spiritual but no religious preference.

I was born male but earlier this year became a eunuch due to medical reasons.

I am having difficulty adjusting to being castrated.

I very much miss having testicles ...
