Subtle modification?

[Serbious]

Hello I'm new here. I found out about this place from a forum post on another site. I guess to get straight to the point, I was wondering if there has been any documentation on inducing erectile dysfunction, on purpose. On and off over the years I had considered castration. You see, I am greatly disturbed by my sexual urges and want to be rid of them all together. I don't think I could actually bring my self to get castrated however. No matter how much I search online about inducing erectile dysfunction I only get results on how to prevent it. I would really prefer a way to nullify the nerves in a safe way that simply makes it not possible to have erections, or removes sexual sensations. I hope this falls within the bounds of discussion, i just don't know where else to turn to.

Welcome to the forum, glad you found us.

You ask a good question, and no it isn't off topic...

This subject was raised a few times on the earlier forum and as best I recall there was no recommended surgical method of getting rid of sensation in the penis or causing ED... There were a few folks that posted about various do-it-yourself efforts, many of which were relatively unsafe, and definitely not recommended....

I'm also not sure that simply giving yourself ED is going to help you with your urges. After all if all those guys WITH ED weren't having serious urges, they wouldn't be so anxious to find a cure for it... Sexual urges come from your brain, not your penis, so shutting down the penis might just leave you frustrated...

Castration does suppress urges, but the reason is that it gets rid of most of the testosterone that tells your brain to produce those urges (gross oversimplification, but what it amounts to). If you aren't into surgery, or aren't sure about it, you might try to do 'chemical castration'. This can be done with a number of different prescription medications. I am also told that some anti-depressant drugs will also kill urges, but they can have other effects on your mental state that you wouldn't like - reports vary.

If chemical castration is something you are interested in pursuing, it does fall in the 'transgender' medical realm, so you will probably want to reach out to your local trans-gender center to find a doctor that can write the needed prescriptions and monitor your care. I also strongly suggest downloading and reading a copy of the WPATH "Standards of Care version 8" especially the Eunuch and Mental Health chapters...

I hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions, we are a friendly bunch....

My understanding of antidepressants is that they may inhibit ejaculation. But that may not have much effects on inhibiting sex drive.

In fact there’s at least one SSRI (or SNRI?) approved to make men last longer just to take advantage of that side effect.

For years before my orchiectomy, I was in a severely hypogonadic state with total testosterone less than 230 ng/dl. For all intents and purposes, it was "eunuch lite." I don't know how difficult it would be to put one's self into a hypogonadic state intentionally, but that would definitely give you ED.

I don't know exactly how I got hypogonadic, but I do recall taking some type of prescription pill and after about a week I couldn't get good erections anymore. Even after quitting the pill, I never got my mojo back. I don't remember what the pill was (perhaps some kind of statin), but I definitely remember my erections being noticeably less hard from then on. And, of course, now erections are nonexistent.

Good luck!

I don't remember what the pill was (perhaps some kind of statin),

A beta blocker perhaps?

I think it was something for cholesterol. Not sure. It was like 25 years ago.

Regarding medication side effects, SSRI's (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) anti depressants tend to effect the libido more on a brain based drive manner. Beta Blockers for cardiac blood pressure issues are quite casual of ED. Being on both I can attest to that From other medical issues, as my testosterone drops from the normal ranges, that has been the most effective for limiting both desire and function. Without and underlying issue limiting testosterone, either chemical castration or actual orchiectomy would be most effective. Testosterone lowering drugs are used as a possible or partial treatment for prostate cancer issues and therefore both well documented for side effects and easily available with a prescription. Hope this simple summary helps.

I would like to considerate that castration may not cure his sexual urges if they're caused by a neurosis or a compulsive thought. I believe those thoughts will come back, even after castration.

[WheelyFixed]

You are correct Friotler, however the stuff I've read suggests that castration does help decrease the intensity of those urges - they are still there, but not the drive to do anything about them...

This is also an advantage of doing a short stint of chemical castration, as it is reversible (if not done for to long) if one doesn't like the results....

I have read bout SSRI, and have considered it before, however I am scared of what other possible psychological effects it might have. I have never been diagnosed with any type of depression.
