Thinking about castration/penectomy

[Scott-1989 (imported)]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here though I have been visiting for quite a while as a guest, so I finally plucked up the courage and join.

A little bit about me, I'm 19, from the UK, and I'm gay. To cut a very long story short, I've never felt happy about my genitals, especially since reaching my teens. I was circumcised at the age of 6 (something which my stepfather insisted on) and I think that is where the issue originates from.

Essentially, I just don't know what to do. I don't know whether to stay as I am, get a castration, get a penectomy, or have both. I am almost certain that I would like at least something removed, because I just don't feel very happy as I am, but I have no idea what to do.

I'm hoping you guys can offer me the benefit of your experience and what worked for you. I expect quite a lot of you have felt similar to me, so I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

Scott.

Welcome to our madhouse. You are like very many that have looked at this site. Many have the very same feelings as you have. Do not think that you are alone in these feelings. Yes most people would think they are strange. But there is many of us that find it very normal being just like you. Here is the place to read, learn and ask questions. You will find people from all walks of life and that had many different experiences. Sounds like you have desires to be a nullo. That is less common but their some in here that share that desire as well.

You will find that in time you will develop friends in here. So welcome to the ZOO.

Thanks jetleg and Bobbie.

I hope I do make some friends around here. It's a relief to talk to people who can understand.

I'm not sure about nullification. It's very hard for me to express what I mean in words (so I apologise). I think I am about 95% certain I want a castration, but only about 50% for a penectomy. As for doing both, I'd say it was a non-option for the moment. But that may change in time. At the moment I don't have the information or the confidence to even consider nullification.

What I'm going to try and do is to do things step by step and see how things go. I think that might be the best way.

How did things go for you? Did you get a castration or penectomy first? or both at once?

Poke around in the archive and read. Castration is for a very small percentage of population. It may be right for you and then again maybe it isn't but you need to read and learn to make a decision.

hi welcome to the site, i am sort of new too. i was castrated last week for religious reasons. i cant truly relate to the the fantasy castrators, the gender reassignment people, or the genital dislike people. i cant really give you much advise aside from; make sure you have the procedure done by a doctor.

[Scott-1989 (imported)]

I've never heard of castration for religious reasons. What religion do you follow?

As I said, I'm almost certain castration is what I want. It is certainly the part of me I dislike the most, I suppose it's fear that is preventing me being more assertive than that. Of course, I would always have it done by a doctor.

I will read up on castration here.

Here are three good places to start. After those, read everything else. After you've done much reading, fire away with as many questions as you may muster up. We'll do our best to answer them.

It is probably worth your while trying to talk to Roger (the fraj) who was not much older than you when he was castrated.

Just be very, very careful and think before you do anything.

Regards,

[Scott-1989 (imported)]

Thanks for all your help.

I have been doing a lot of reading here and a lot of it has been very positive.

Thank you all for being so friendly too.

I would also add that if you are only 95% sure you want castration, don't do it. It should a decision you should be 100% sure of, no room for doubt or later regret

Having read it about it in depth here, I am now more certain than 95%. The only real obstacles I have are a) parental/family/friends reactions etc, and b) where it could be done, and how much it would cost.

It's not that I'm having doubts about getting castrated, it's more about resolving the above.

I'd like to be able to talk with anyone who can share their feelings or experiences on getting their castration, what it involved, and whether it was worth it and so on.

I would like to say thanks as well, I did not start this topic, but it is one that also applies to myself. I have found that the information here is great, and it really seams like the people here are willing to help others out.

hi Scott, your not alone in feeling the way you do!! i have been looking in this site for quite a while but never posted anything!! like you i feel a massive urge to be castrated, some days the need is like 100% and i say to myself that's it i am getting it down, other days its like 50% and i think of all the problems castration may bring with it, in particular health problems!! yea see I'm not a eunuch yet, because i need to 101% sure!! i am not and have no idea if i ever will be a eunuch, as long as there is doubt i wont do it!! also if ever i finally make the decision i promised myself that ill do at least a year on chemical castration!!

i totally believe you should do the same, think to yourself am i 101% about it?? then do a year on chemical, after that if you still feel the same i recon its for you!! yea see what worries me is that Kimmel will castrate anyone who has the money, i wont say anymore about it as there are people here that really believe in him!!! castration is so final you need to be sure sure and sure again!!!

at the moment im on the sure sure part only
