.. would there be weight gain?... Cos I don't wanna add weight ( I'm slim and muscular)
Short answer Yes. You loose muscle mass. Muscle is high energy so a loss of muscle decreases your body's need for fuel. You need to watch your diet, and you need to exercise.
... Do you miss intimacy cos I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be hunted with the fact that as a handsome guy, I never had even a hug From a girl all my life... Just a sad introvert
You don't need to have sex to have intimacy. You don't need to have intimacy to have sex. That being said, your relationships will change focus on being intimate, and close with your partner(s). I am far more intimate with my wife now than I ever was before.
... Will I gain a bit form of feminity in any way?... Cos I want to keep my manhood looks and face and body
"Individual results may vary" This is completely dependent on how your own body reacts to a lack of testosterone. Everyone produces Estrogen, some people seem to be more sensitive to it than others. I found my nipples got bigger, and tried to 'bud' like a pre adolescent girl. That was the extent. I lost body hair, but didn't go completely hairless. If I put on weight, it tends to accumulate on my butt and my thighs now, not my belly. Again, individual results may vary.
... I don't worry about losing physical strength that much cos I don't survive by physical work mostly... I'm an engineer but I work with technicians who just follow orders
As I said earlier, you will loose muscle mass. For some reason since my castration, they make jar lids tighter than they used to be, and furniture is made heavier than it used to be.
.... Does the feeling to ever want a lady close by Keep coming?.. cos I want both the sexual desire and the urge for intimacy ( at least a hug) to be taken completely away (don't wanna miss the opposite gender).. I want to see women the way I see my fellow men
Yes, and it's more complicated. Let me explain. You look at a painting or other piece of artwork. You have to have it. You will do anything to get that art into your house. That is how I used to feel about women before castration. I saw pretty woman and I had to get into her pants. When I got married, we would have sex a lot, but it was focused on penetrative sex.
Alternatively, you look at a painting or other piece of artwork and enjoy it for it's beauty and pleasing asthetics. You are content to come back and enjoy that painting or artwork any time you want and find even more things you like about it as you study the details. This is how I feel about women now. I am still very much hetero. My relationships with women are much more relaxed. My wife and I still have sex, and even it is much more relaxed. It is much more of a shared expression of intimacy now. Not just me getting my rocks off.
... What kinda foods do y'all eat to stay fit?.. cos I wanna stay fit and not fat... I don't want to gain any weight
I still eat all the same foods I used to. Portion control is the key word now. My weakness is Ice Cream. I love Ice Cream! I can't have much, so I measure out 3-4 oz of Ice Cream (a kitchen scale is super important) and I enjoy it once a week or so. I love to eat ethnic foods, for the taste and texture. Italian, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Caribbean, you name it. I just can't eat all I want to any more. I have small portions, and I savor each mouth full.
... Are y'all still happy about life?.. any depressing or suicidal feelings/thoughts


?
Yes! No depressing or suicidal thoughts. I sometimes have a lack of energy, but that may be because I am getting up there in years.
...Do y'all lose any form of memory?.. cos I think I don't wanna lose any
I wouldn't know if I lost memory... would I remember what I don't remember?
Seriously, Use your brain. If you don't use it, you loose it. Stay active. A healthy body helps your brain.
.....most especially, what are the daily doses for the medicines

y'all are using from depo, to androcur to lupron...and how long
"Almond joy's got nuts. Mounds Don't" That is why I chose my screen name. No drugs here. In fact, my bathroom looks like the bathroom of a 20 year old. I have a very expired bottle of Tylenol and that is it.
...do you feel hot flashes at times and how's the intensity
Individual results may vary. Let me tell you my story.
I had Orchialgia. I went through a couple of years of poking, proding, and drugs. Nothing worked, and a few 'treatments' made things worse. I finally convinced the doc to perform an Orchiectomy. I went on Testosterone Replacement Therapy. I hated it. It was a one month rollercoaster of too much followed by too little T. I shortened that cycle by taking half every two weeks. Then a third every 10 days. Nothing worked. I went to patches and gel. Too messy and it irritated my skin. My wife and I talked about it and she could clearly see I was miserable. So we both decided to "f" it and I went off T all together. Hot flashes were weird, but didn't last long (a couple months maybe 3). Impotency was an adjustment.
..... How does your skin change?.. do you become softer than before?
Individual results may vary. My skin dried out, but then we also moved from the coast inland to Idaho. My skin isn't as 'tough' as it used to be, but that could be part of the natural aging process. IDK.
...do pimples, facial hair/pubic hair, rashes and okeke sweat related odour disappear too?
Individual results may vary. I never had a problem with pimples, even as a teen. The hair on my head is still there, but I wasn't loosing it prior to castration. Pubic hair was always thin. I am not prone to rashes or skin problems and that hasn't changed, FOR ME. I still sweat, and I still stink when I sweat.
...how lasting are the medics?
individual results may vary. Getting the theme here? We are all individuals and each of our situations and our bodies will react differently to the drugs they use. I never intended to be a eunuch. It happened. After it happened, I went through some pretty trying times, but now that those are over. I love it, and I wished I could have done it sooner, by my own choice. I hope this helps you. Good luck on your own journey and I sincerely hope you enjoy your journey.
