Tell me: why are *YOU* into castration?

[Lovey (imported)]

An inquiring mind wants to know: why do you visit this site?

Are you, like me, just curious about castration and would never, EVER, allow oneself to be "nutted"? (As you may well know, I have an unhealthy fascination with castration)

Or, are you hellbent on being a eunuch?

If that is the case-

Why?

I'm not here to ridicule you, it's just that I could never figure why someone would want to be an eunuch.

(or maybe you're an eunuch because fate played a cruel trick)

In fact, I don't know why I'm interested in castration.

Maybe by you telling me why your the way you are, I can get a better understanding why I visit this site.

Maybe.

I just "work" here.

I'm not here to ridicule you, it's just that I could never figure why someone would want to be an eunuch.

In my case, libido problems, and a desire for a release from sex. This has happpened, along with "The Eunuch Calm". An extra 10-15 years of life is a nice bonus.

...

(or maybe you're an eunuch because fate played a cruel trick)

To tell you the truth, I don't know why most folks are here either. But for me, I had my testes and weenie snipped off because they simply did not belong.

I am a woman. However, because, as you say, "fate played a cruel trick," I was born with boy plumbing. Getting rid of those ugly appendages is just common sense.

Now, that's a simple and straightforward answer!

Love,

Sorry, I cannot claim any of the standard reasons. I was never abused (sexually) as a child, never thought of myself as a female trapped in a male body, never hated my genitals. I DID castrate pigs when I was 12 or so but I cannot honestly say that those actions had any lasting influence on me.

I was emgulfed in a great deal of sexual confusion most of my life... I got married before I had figured out that I was gay, I had a libido for just about any receptacle male or female that was hundreds of times greater than my wife's, but before I figured it all out I was a married man with children. Maybe that's where it came from.

Alls I know for sure was about 10 years ago, I knew... KNEW that I had to become a eunuch! For several years that thought was there, but more or less dormant because I knew there was no chance. Then I learned about alt.eunuchs.questions, and I discovered to my total surprise that I was not alone! After that the odd vague feeling that I would be better off castrated grew and flourished until I heard of Dr. Spector and visited him on April 5, 1997. I have never regretted it! In fact, my only regret is that I didn't do it 10 years sooner.

My wife will tell you that I had my nuts cut off because of the incredible pains I was suffering, and she would be right. the pains started in 1995, and a year later it felt as if my balls were in someones hands and being squeezed all the time! To this day I cannot explain those pains, but a large part of me believes that God had provided me with a reason that my wife would buy for my castration.

To be perfectly honest, I think I would be happier as a sexually active man. I could deal with either a man or a woman, but since I am married (38 years last September) I am committed to a woman, and that sort of dictates my sexual orientation. But there was still that incredibe difference in our libidos. My libido now matches hers: ZERO. That doesn't mean that I don't think of sex, fantasize, dream... but that incredible driving urge that says I have GOT to get off, RIGHT NOW, is gone. And in my situation, my stage of life, GOOD RIDDANCE!

I have longed to have my balls removed for many years but when some one askes me why i cannot give a reason at i feel it is something that i have it have done to find my true inner happiness amongst other reasons i dont particularly hate my testies but i dont want them there either. I am hoping that in the spring next year i will reach my ultimate goal of becoming a eunuch

Well that is me allthough i know every one has different reasons as can be seen by previouos replys

[JeffEunuch (imported)]

I still haven't full knowledge of why I became interested in castration and then being nutted myself. I did though and was lucky to find a guy that did it very expertly and with minimal trauma a couple of years ago. Aside from the fantasy aspect, I must also say that one reason for following through was that I realized that my balls were no longer very functional. One had been more or less ruined as a child following a severe hernia and emergency repair (a loop of intestine slipped out into the sac). The other was producing insufficient hormones, and I was on testosterone injections for a year before my balls were harvested. Although he was also shocked that I'd have myself partially emasculated as he saw it, one doc admitted that about all I lost functionally by being castrated was maybe that the trough in emotions and libido that comes with periodic injections (every 2.5 weeks) is lower than it would be if I still had my balls. While I'd like to say that I wished I'd had the procedure before I did, I nonetheless don't know if I'd been able to follow through earlier. I also sired 2 kids and came to realize I was gay before I was castrated. I therefore never recommend being nutted to others, but certainly think it's alright to follow through on one's obsession with genital mods or removal. One's mind is then free to focus on other things. I can add that being ballless is quite comfortable.

I have often pondered my infatuation with becoming a eunuch and that is one of the main reasons I keep coming to this site and several other clubs (I even have my own club http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/women92sca ... consortium). This question has been asked a couple of years ago on this site and more recently on my club. We got a list of about 15 reasons and it varies greatly between individuals.

Here they are - in no particular order of importance:

1. Lower risk of prostate cancer.

2. Lower risk of hyper tension and hardening of arteries - longer life span in general.

3. Wife's sex drive is much lower; castration of husband would make for more harmonious marriage.

4. Perception that relationship with partner would become more intimate if man were castrated.

5. As a symbol and token of total trust in his partner. Giving partner control over HRT is important.

6. Male guilt. Man perceives that women in general have suffered historically at the hands of male-dominated culture.

7. Specific personal guilt. Something individual has done that warrants castration as a means of atonement.

8. Avoidance of military service.

9. Avoidance of male responsibilities or pressure to be macho.

10. Foolproof birth control.

11. Retaining youthful soprano singing voice (castrati).

12. Cosmetic affect. Just likes the look.

13. As a transitional stage in sexual reassignment surgery.

14. Fulfillment of a long-held wish or desire.

15. A reaction to feelings of sexual inadequacy - needing to feel accepted as less than a man.

I'm sure this list will grow in the future.

One thing for sure, this phenomenon affects a lot more men than I would ever have believed before the advent of the internet. At one time I thought it was unique to me alone. I now believe it deserves its own branch of psychology. I think what we are really looking for is the psychological mechanism involved in developing the fetish or the wish.

Farrell

PS: My own reasons are 4, 5, 6, 15, 9, & 12 (in order of importance). It seems to me that reason 14 is a result of other reasons and depends on how long you've had the desire.

Reasons 1, 2, & 10 are excuses I would give to my urologist once I've found a suitable partner.

[Sac_mec (imported)]

Everyone will have their own reason and personal reponse to that very direct question.

There is a large element of fantasy and mysticism about the subject and most members and regular visitors (who ought to register, its well worth it) come here for news, escapism, information and 'infotainment'.

Some guys like me are having problems such as impotency caused through lower back injuries and find that some of the boards and discussions on this site give the tiniest movement

towards erection - it may sound strange but its true.

Many of the stories speak of our lives before testosterone raised tensions and issues in our lives, to times when decisions were simple and easy; its like 'pubic shaving' which is a pleasure. To feel smoothness is great and whilst it highlights your 'equipment'

maybe the result, smoothness, takes us back to a time of

'sexual innocence'. Whilst men with dark thick bushes above their

cocks can look sexy, I doubt whether any male or female are greatly turned on by hairy balls!

The subject is vast and I joined this site following thought approaches rather like 'coming out'. I have no immediate future

personal agenda but I am aware, that amongst other options

I may require a prostatectomy or other 'surgery' on medical grounds. So maybe turning 'an issue' into 'an interest' is

a good way of coping. The issue of pain comes up too and how to deal with that - some contributors enjoy it, I for one, would look at pain-free but conscious and comfortable 'modification'.

It would be good to read other people's replies to the question, but answering it, is a very personal choice. Its a good question and I can't 'completely honestly' reply to it, but the answer is that this site offers huge useful potential and is pretty sexy too!

Like it was said before,everybody has their own reasons,and here are mine. I was SUPPOSED to be a female,and was born in the wrong body. (Yes,I'm a t-girl wannabe:),but thanks to my current surroundings and circumstances,I can't correct this. This has truely saddend me,as well as caused me to look for other options.

However,I DO want to be as androgenous as I can,and I've never liked my package anyway,so I've decided to be an androgenous freak. I'm TOTALLY excited,and I can't wait to become a eunuch,and experience all the benefits that come with it,and I'm going to go on estrogen hrt as well.

I've found this site to be informative,as well as fun. I enjoy reading all the posts,and the humor here,as well as reading the exciting stories,too. (WOW,some of them are WAYY too hott as well:) When I posted a few medical questions as well as concerns,the responses I got were VERRRY helpful ,and all of my questions were answered. I couldn't have asked for any nicer people,and helpful too.

Since then,I come back to read all the posts,and enjoy all the commoradary (yea,I know it's probably spelled wrong,sorry:),as well as the health issues surrounding being a eunuch. I'm SO looking forward to the day where I have my body changed to where I want it too,and have my nasty testicles GONE!! Keep up the great work!!

[eff (imported)]

Eh.

I think the reason I am fascinated, and to an extent attracted by castration has to do with the fact that I am and always have been a very insecure person, and subconsciously, the loss of my manhood would lead to great humiliation in the eyes of the people who were to know about the castration (could be a partner, a friend, a small group of friends, whatever).

This of course means these individuals would excert power on me, my sexuality and my social status would be in their hands, and they would be free to do whatever they wanted to do with it.

Now, going back to what I said earlier about insecurity: this would mean that I would have ridded myself of many responsabilities, as the power that those people would have on me would make them responsible for me. I hope you can follow my reasoning. If someone was responsible for my well being, I would have someone to worry about me, someone who takes care of me like a parent would do with their child.

Now.. of course, being castrated would not mean all that. But I believe my interest in castration is merely a symptom of those disorders, my lack of security.

I do believe though it could be something *even* deeper than that.. as I clearly remember fantasizing about penectomy when I was about 7 years old. But that's as far as I can go.

Then of course, my attraction to castration is not limited to the loss of my own genitals. I also find the thought of performing castration onto another person highly entertaining. But that belongs to a very obscure section of my psyche... one I have not explored yet.

[frankie (imported)]

It's really a tough question, one I've been thinking about for a long time, many years. I think I've come to a point recently where I can answer it, and that is in large part due to the wonderful people here! I've raved about you all before and I'll do it again, this community is incredible!

I can't point to a moment in my past or a person or a "first time" a thought occurred to me. I've always been a person who fits somewhere between the genders, I am niether man or woman, but me. I don't feel comfortable with the word "woman," but the words "boy" and "man" are especially problematic for me because they've been forced upon me.

I want to be castrated because my balls represent all of the maleness in me that I'm uncomfortable with. The tendency to rage, to be judgemental, to be harsh or blunt or cruel, to be insensitive, to fail to listen or care, to be withdrawn, and the common complaint about sex drive. Way too often I find myself distracted from tasks by sexual fantasies while I'm working, or much worse; distracted from a conversation and a mind by her breasts. I'm aware that castration would not magically remove all of these mental traits that I'm working on changing, but I do think I'd have better luck unlearning some of these characteristics if T wasn't part of my chemistry. The symbolic aspect of removing my balls is important to me for what it represents to my psyche, and the chemical consequences in terms of both mindset and appearance are desireable to me.

....and they look damn silly just hanging there like that.

[Thumper (imported)]

You ask quite a serious question there "LOVELY" all i can say to that is my sexual drive is definitely in overdrive and most Dr's i have visited say that this is the only way to combat it. being the way i am and what will or might happen in the future. i believe thaty to keep myself out of trouble and jail. i need to be neutered. it is a situation i do not take lightly.

[smoothie (imported)]

i'm looking to be castrated because i want my dick to shrink up smaller than the 3 inches it is now.

[madscientist (imported)]

Right now I am sitting on a buttful of Depo-Provera & it is controlling my libido very well. I have been on this now for about 4 months. I enjoy going back to a childlike "innocence" & like the fact that I no longer drip semen whenever I do get erections.

I think chemical castration is better than surgery. It is certainly less painful & it isn't a complete orchiectomy. But this is just my opinion. I would suggest that anyone wishing a surgical castration try this first. You just might want to stick with it.

[happousai (imported)]

Are you, like me, just curious about castration and would never, EVER, allow oneself to be "nutted"? (As you may well know, I have an unhealthy fascination with castration)

I don't see any way that I would get myself castrated, but I do find the idea to be interesting. If I could "try it out" for a few days, I would do it just to see what it was like.

I think that castration has some good advantages: Less need to have sex, and nothing between your legs to get in the way when you sit down (or get hit in the groin by a ball, or kicked, etc.).

At the same time, there are risks such as osteoperosis that seem to be not that well understood by the medical community, due to there not being a lot of eunuchs.

Of course a eunuch can't have children, but I don't have intentions of doing that anyway.

"...

[...]"

I do. Thanx you brought that to speach.



I'm indeed perplexed by the variuosity (*g) of motivations showing up on this thread.

I for sure thought much more people were simply AROUSED by the thought of castrat/ion/ing while only very few having thought the thing through as far as you do, eff.

I have to realize there are more different people here than I expected. (Thank god. (or whoever *g))

Me, I have to go quite along with eff if you asked me how my interest may have developed.

I may not feel so much insecure but I had (at puberty, or what they call so) always HATED that bunch of responsibiltys you have to take for every very action you take.

I took action and I still do, well with a kind of grimm desparate courage and a big-big pack of stubbornness, with a hate for poeple beeing blind for THEYRE responsibility and slight contempt for those beeing much like me but chosing NOT to act ( sorry ).

Still there is nothing like BEEING ruled instead of ruling, giving all that f******* responsibilty up to someone else, just that, if you think it through, YOU MUST NOT.

You're RESPONSIBLE.

You cannot give it away.

I think there lies the fascination of submission in general and of castration in special.

If you're forced you cannot do nothing, can you?

And then it's interesting again that, if you think it through, THIS is a SELFISH desire.

But MY GOD: Selfishness can be SEXY!

Funny how things turn out to be theire own opposite on another hand. This happenes quite often, it seems to me.

Well, thanks eff for bringing this on!

g..u..s

[Alex20 (imported)]

Hmm,

It's a hard one to answer for shure. I have no "root cause" for my desires. Why do I want what I do? I just do .

Sorry I can't be of more help, but my reasons are that simple.

[highlander (imported)]

Although I dont exactly goes to the extreme and get nutted like some of you guys I personally do like my balls very much, it probably this that made me fantasize about losing it. I know its strange but sometimes you get a thrill out of taking risks like you value something so much that you are willing to take a risk and might lose everything. I like the idea of having my nut removed by a female doctor or by a woman but I have to say this would only exist in fantasy or role play.

Out of interests, I know there are many surgeons that does castrations but how many are female? Does anyone here had been castrated by a woman surgeon and I dont mean ones that had gone through an op themselves?

Thanks

[BadBob (imported)]

Well I am also one of those for whom this is purely a fantasy with no desire to have it really happen.

But as to WHY this is some sort of sexual turn on....ah that remains (and perhaps to some extent should be) a MYSTERY.

I have over the years given this some thought and

in no particular order of importance,

here are the things I think apply to me.

Beginning at an unconscious level, eroticising something does provide a way to confront and manage the fear. I suppose that some erotica I read might have been a catalyst years ago but the fantasy was there for decades before I thought that this might be a part of its origins.

On another level it is a case of dynamic tensions of opposites. The most sexual joy and the most awful thing one can imagine in that connection existing simultaneously does provide a powerful set of emotional reactions.

Since I am straight it is natural that all things sexual for me connect to women. But as any straight man will tell you, women remain a mystery to us and my experiences with them (while not rising to the level of abuse etc) DO confirm at some level that they are capable of strange and unpredictable behavior, often sugar coated with allure and seduction. Given an interest in femdom this is certainly a compatible fantasy in that regard.

Something further to the above, and an interesting commentary is that the stories that most often get me off are those where the woman seduces and mind game manipulates the male into agreeing to his castration. One might even say that it is an allegory for real life, where women convince men (me) to do things that I know will not turn out well, but it is easier to go along than to resist and risk an argument and no sex.

In femdom play much is often made of female superiority and castration as her ultimate expression of control over male sexuality, and also at time it is presented as the "ultimate gift" of servitude and devotion. While this makes an interesting background in stories I don't feel that it has any real meaning or value for me in the attraction explanation. In other words, I don't mind playing along with this, or reading about it, but it isn't really a part of the idea for me. However, it IS a good back story for the woman's motivation in seducing an agreement to be castrated.

I suppose there is more, but in keeping with the premise I started with, perhaps the rest is best left in the unconscious, as I am enjoying this sort of play occassionally and don't want to analyze it out of existence.
