You're pretty young, which means that the changes you experience may not be as intense, and that they may take a longer period of time to fully play out. A lot of young eunuchs can maintain a reasonable sex drive and good energy levels. But chances are there will be significant changes in time that you will be able to see and enjoy (although some of them may not be so fun). You will just have to be patient

It has been well over a month past the operation and you are part of the eunuch family. It takes a special type of person to become one of us. Most do not have the balls to be one. One thing about joining us is it is a life time membership. There is no un-joining once you are one. You will have to learn the secret hand shake at one of the MOM events.

Outside of your wound taking a little longer to heal them most, it seems that your castration was very average.

About the only way you could become famous in getting a castration would be if they found maybe three testicles, or some other medical oddity. Other than that they are about the same.

Yes, along with your magic decoder ring. --FLO--

REALLY? I love secret Decoder Rings.... And those with an Underdog super energy pill? The best!

update:

im fat.

I'm fat too, though not obese. I'm using the summer to slim down. Instead of eating ice cream I'm eating watermelon and other fruits. My genetics have also given me high cholesterol which castration might aggravate or cause my cholesterol to go even higher. I've got to talk to my doctor about that to get more conclusive evidence. Lay off the sweets, walk, run, do something to keep the extra weight off. Don't allow it to depress you. Keep the faith too. Hash

I don't know if I am what you would call fat, but at one point I had put on 40 pounds since my surgery, and now I am down to having put 30 on, almost all of it fat. I have developed something of a ring around the belly, and studies have shown that low T in men leads to accumulation of belly fat. This is where a lot of your fat will be stored, should you continue to gain.

Castration will do this to you. You are now going to have to watch a lot closer what you eat, and you are going to have to be a lot more active. Most of us young guys get to eat whatever we want without gaining any weight. But that changes when your hormonal profile is very unlike other young guys. If you do not follow the above mentioned suggestions, you will only get fatter

But the diet and exercise changes (or the weight gain if they are not implemented) are a small price to pay for what some consider to be the benefits of castration.

I can add a big AMEN to all of the above. Don't let the weight pile on. When my prolactin secreting tumor shut down my testicles (In effect a chemical castration.) I went from 170 pounds to 267 pounds over the course of ten years. The best I was able to do with diet and exercise, before the tumor was suppressed was to get off about 30 pounds. Now, with HRT I am able to get more weight off, but the tumor medication has the side effect of loss of muscle mass, so it's a real struggle. The best thing is not to let the weight get on to begin with.

What concerns me is that you seem to have created your own theology to justify what you've done. Certainly I hope it works out well for you but I have concerns. My surgery is scheduled for the latter part of next month but I've waited five years just to be absolutely sure that I've thought it through, discussed it with others-many of whom do not approve but acknowledge that this is not a random act-and am convinced that it's appropriate to me.

That said, I wish you the best life you can have. As others have written you've joined a group-as I will soon-that is loyal and supportive and willing to listen and respond. Should later you or I have regrets, I'm positive they will be here to help us work through whatever hurdles may appear.

i wish you all the best of luck

There are a few out there that are making fun of you, Randy. Let me say things this way, "It takes balls to get castrated. There are lots and lots that are all talk. They put on a big show. But the actual number of men that volunteerly get castrated is FEW. Then consider that number the live without T. The number is even smaller. In my opinion, the people that are real Eunuchs are the ones that can live without any T. They number very small. Lots of people talk a big story. But in reality, few can really live without T.

Hello

It has been 6 weeks since my castration. 6 weeks without testosterone production. I havent felt much in the way of negative side effects lately. Today as I laced up my boots I noticed the back of my calf was completely bare. "that's new", I said to myself as I felt my new smooth spot.

My life in the last 2 plus years has been a quiet existence. Right now I am just saving money to go on a mission someday, God willing. I work long hours and rarely go out. Castration hasn't changed that. I get tired easier but I just have to push though it and get the job done. Now that the stitches are out I rarely think about being a eunuch, it is just who I am now. I'm filled with joy about who I am. Sorry, those are some random thoughts. I am trying to be more open with my, normally shut in, self.

I am going to talk about the religious part of the castration as requested by some private messagers. If you are sensitive to my Christianity just click here (http://www.britneyspears.musictoday.com/web/guest/login) and you will be rerouted to the page you were probably previously viewing.

Some have questioned the motive for my castration . I have talked about some of this before but I cant expect everyone to read my entire thread. My motive for castration was to focus on God more and less on my body. Period. Castration has helped me in that sense. Before I was a eunuch I was a devoted Christian. I still am but prayer has become a lot more focused and powerful in my life. I can lay in bed and just commune with God and not have my mind slip into disgusting sexual desires. God has been too good to me thought this process. He is taking away the lust in my life using castration as the instrument. I now am more focused when it comes to scripture reading, the same with prayer I can spotlight on the devotion with my mind, spirit and body. The latter of the 3 used to wonder off, it still does but it is being subdued. I was reading thru the gospel of matthew looking for a scripture I wanted to show someone, I read thru the be-attitudes and reread them over and over again. Praying as I read not distracted by the lusts of my flesh. As that study went on I realized the be-attitudes arent just a list of good things to be, they are a list of progressive expectancies in the Christian walk. I thought that was so COOL! that God revealed that to me. I have heard 20+ sermons on this section of scripture and never had them explained in this way.

Castration is not a fix all for a broken relationship with God. As I said before I already had a close relationship with Jesus Christ. I was not interested in castration before last year and I still do not find it erotic in anyway. I did not do this to become great in the Kingdom, if anything I will be held to a higher standard or holiness. No man influenced me into castration. I sought my pastors advise anonymously. I have never heard a sermon on castration and I don't know any eunuchs aside from internet EA friends. My family does not know about the surgery and I only told 2 of my friends. 1 of whom still does not believe me. I feel nobody needs to know because it was between me and God. Not to impress any man.

Grace and peace

That's all that matters.

Thank you for sharing this.

What a beautifully written post. You have found a calm mind set that allows you to focus on prayer. Your mission will be very successful in spreading the joy of faith.

Indeed weight gain can happen in some however not all it really depends on the body as well as various factors. Not each and every person is the same or has the same side effects.

My question is I wonder how long it takes to regain your masculine body back and if it may be possible after 2-3 years with restoration of testosterone to your normal ranges, however it just does not seem the same. I am 24 and it has been rough working out now as well as feeling anxiety and depression.

It makes a guy feel a lot diffrent, however some do very well especially if it is something you want. When it is forced or non voluntary it really causes complications.

I found this interesting regarding my second bout with emotionality. I don't have many pet peeves but one thing that really gets me is when you check into a hotel and you walk to the room and the key doesn't work. You're tired and just want to flop in bed, you have all your baggage and you're stuck outside. You have to pick up all your gear, go all the way back to the lobby.. wait in line, ah I just hate that! If it happens once its forgivable, just a little extra walking..no big deal. But if it happens twice, one right after the other, I'm not so forgiving. This has happened to me three times in my life. Once before I was Christian, once now that I am Christian, and again now that I am a eunuch Christian.

The first time this happened I was 19. I had just gotten my fake id so I was ready to party. Then blam I'm stuck outside the room carrying a 24 pack of PBR. After then 2nd time I went back to get the key I was so pissed because the hotel manager didn't seem to think it was a big deal. So I gave him the finger and grabbed a handful of maps and threw them at him. Well, luckily for him the key worked on the third try but I still wasn't happy with his attitude. So my friends and I really trashed the hotel. Through the course of the night we had broken both beds, destroyed a chair and used the busted legs to write obscene things in the popcorn ceiling, taken out all the drawers and threw them out into the pool, duct taped the coffee maker to the wall and .. well I'm not even going to mention what we did to the remote control.

The next time was about a year ago. The person at the counter was just the same as the first, not very polite. After waiting in a long line and going thru a drawn out process, the key didn't work on the second try either. So I came back down and politely asked for my money back. He said "Oh no no sir It will work this time" as he swiped it thru the machine and tried to hand it to me. After his lack of costumer service I really didn't want them to have my business. With the key still dangling in his hand I puffed myself up and said "Give. me. my. money. back.... nowwuh." I got my money back. I was stern.... stern but fair.

This happened again today. Actually this was the worst of all 3 because it is about 105 degrees where I am today and I was really tired. The manager working the counter was new and took about 15 minutes to check me in because he wasn't familiar with the new system. When I walked in I asked for a downstairs room with a refer and internet access. After scrolling thru a combination of 2 out of 3's. Seeking to make his life easier and really wanting to take a nap, I said "I will take any room." He gets a little snippy and goes "Let me see what we have first SIR." Ok fine, I thought to myself. He finger pecked on the computer for a while longer and I actually sparked a conversation with him, something I wouldn't have done before. Finally Brian gets me the key and I heads off. Oh man that AC is going to feel so good can't wait to lie in bed. Blam key doesn't work. Walked back down, tra-lalalala. Key doesn't work the 2nd time either. Get my bags and walk back down to the office. "It didn't work again?" Brian says. "No sir." I replied calmly as I slid him the key. "I'm really sorry about that" he says as I head up again. As I walked up the stairs for the third time I started crying and saying to myself, "yeah everybody's sorry.. sorry sorry sorry."

Interesting changes. They are subtle in some ways, but dramatic in others in seems.. Yours seems to be a very sucessful voyage so far.

One thing you have to watch with the new magnetic stripe keys is you can't put them in your pocket with your cell phone. The cell phone will delete the info off the key and leave you locked out of your room.

Hey-hay-hay

I don't even really have anything to update, I guess that is my update. I feel normal. People keep telling me it is because I am young and things will get harder, just wait. I think I am already cruising as a eunuch. I was accused of being flippant about the side effects a couple of times, relying on my faith in God to get my thru this. I am truly blessed not to have felt any of the major side effects that go along with the lack of T. Even if was in an accident and lost my testicles, instead of being castrated, I would not be sad or depressed. I am not defined by my sexuality; I am who I am because of my spirituality. All things are working together for good for me. The only one that I would consider negative is weight gain, after checking the scale I didn't even gain that much. I am just squishier due to the subcutaneous fat. I can look at my forearm and see that it's not defined anymore; it reminds me of my dad's arm. I am not concerned with my body, save that it's healthy. The lack of sexual desire is very pleasant. I love not wanting to have sex all day long. I can concentrate better now on the things I want to. I sometimes think about changing the name of this thread because I don't talk to Dr. Kimmel anymore. Our relationship is over and I have moved on. I am a eunuch now and that is what I will always be.

I wouldn't recommend to anyone out in the world to be castrated if you expect to have my results. Castration will be hard on many people; I am just not one of them because God blesses me. I rarely look back and ponder my castration; it was simply another step I took on the narrow path. Granted it was a big step but I don't really look back on that day I became a eunuch and revel in it. I know some people would love to see my fall on my face, who doesn't love a good fall from grace? but In short: I am a joyful eunuch. I will stay this way.

Grace and peace

It is great that things are still going good for you. It is still early in your transition to the life of an eunuch. Changes take time to happen over months and even years to some extent. It is great that you are still around after your castration. So many leave once they are done and we do not know how they are doing afterwards.

The thread should stay with the name. It is how your tread started and is progressing.

Randy,

Glad to hear you are happy with the changes you have experienced

You have been castrated for how long now, about 2 months? If you believe that you have experienced all you will from castration in only 2 months, then I am afraid I will have to say you are mistaken. As many of us have told you before, this is only the beginning of the journey. There is more to come. You need to be aware of what some of the possible negatives are, whether or not you actually ever experience them. Knowing what to watch out for will be a great help to you in the event that you do experience them.

Maybe nothing bad is going to happen. Maybe you will never really lose any energy, never gain too much weight, never develop osteoporosis, never develop a severe depression, never miss sexual feelings or activity, or any of the other negatives that can come up. If so, you are a very lucky exception to the rule, and while I would congratulate you wholeheartedly, I would also hope you would recognize this and not believe these are the normal results of castration (you do warn others against believing their results will be the same as yours, so I suspect perhaps you already know this).

It's still far too soon to tell whether you will ever experience any of the negatives of castration, or whether you will ever regret your surgery. I certainly hope neither ever happens, and I wish you the best of luck in avoiding them.

What I'm concerned about, and I think others here share this concern, is your insistence that you are a special exception to the rule before we even know that this is true. Like I've said, maybe you are, and if so, wonderful and enjoy your good fortune. But neither you nor anyone else can know that for sure yet. I believe those who don't believe any of the negatives can happen to them will be hit especially hard by them if they ever do happen.

I do not think any of us here want to see you fall on your face. But I do think many of us are concerned about what might happen if such a fall takes place.

I was exactly where you are now a couple of months after my castration. I was more than happy with the results and believed I always would be. I didn't think much about the negatives, although I did not go as far as insisting I had special protection from ever experiencing them. But I did insist I would never regret my surgery. I insisted that I enjoyed being free from libido, and that I would never miss it. Not long thereafter, I learned quickly the difference between not having sexual feelings 24/7 and never again having sexual feelings. I may have wanted some relief, but I did not want to lose the experience of sexuality for the rest of my life.

This is my case, not yours, and there is a chance you will never miss sexuality. Certainly there are many eunuchs, including on this site, who don't. I do hope that things continue going well for you, and that you never know any of the darker side of castration. But I do encourage you to stop believing that you have special immunity to that side because I can assure you that you do not. I also want to remind you that if you ever do have problems, we at the EA are here to support you

I honestly believe that God will bless you for what you have done.

It is good to hear you are doing well.

Hope that you continue to feel good about this.

If you feel better about how you feel and the decreased drive, as well as being happy so far with the decision things may go very well for you as this is what you wanted and I hope the outcome will be good.

Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing..

randy,

I wish you the best and I know that if you have a certain level of faith that you know that everything happens for a reason.

You must believe that your life is unfolding as it should and that you life was pre-destined since before time began.

You DO make good decisions because they are YOUR decisions and they have a purpose in God's scheme of things.

Perhaps the hardest argument for a idealist philosopher to reason out is that of free will verses predestination. In other words, if God is all knowing, then how can a man have free will in any decision? Rest assured that we may never completely know the answer to this question in this lifetime. Therefore, one must have faith. One must have faith in God, their fellow humans and in one's self.

You, randy, as the trees and stars have a RIGHT to be here. It was pre-destined before time began. No matter what your burden may be, you faith is sufficient to overcome it. Therefore rejoice. The gift of faith that you possess is precious beyond description.

God loves you and we all love you.
