Any media where they discuss castration

[szeran]

Any anime, manga, comics etc where castration is discussed casually and eunuchs are common place.

[NaturalEunuch]

The main place I've seen eunuchs depicted in media is in those Chinese Harem dramas. Tons of eunuchs in series like Story of Yanxi Palace, Empresses in the Palace, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, and many more. Also, there was a movie called Li Lianying: The Imperial Eunuch. Also, do a Google search for Dr. Wassersug. He's one of the thought leaders in the eunuch community and has a lot of good information. That's all I've got. Good luck.

Three animes that come to mind that feature castration in one way shape or form.

Dandandan, this is a newer show and a kinda key plot point to the first season is that one of the main characters has his penis and testicles stolen by a ghost who then kinda possesses him. It's definitely a weirder comedy show but pretty entertaining.

Chainsaw Man, In the first episode the main character reveals he's perpetually in debt and has had to sell some of his body parts including one of his testicles.

Tokyo Ghoul, one of the characters Juuzou Suzuya is a eunuch who hunts ghouls. He was castrated by his pseudo adoptive mother who is also a ghoul using a hammer. There's also a ghoul names Nutcracker who appears to be a beautiful woman who preys upon men by crushing their testicles and drinking the resulting fluids.

There was also a small B plot in Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex where they try to show how a man became radicalized into a terror cell after he was injured in a war. To show the nature of his injuries there's a scene where he visits a prostitute who turns him down because he apparently lacks the necessary equipment to use her services. I can't remember all the details on this one since its been well over a decade since I watched the show. They also hint a few times at the idea of sexuality in a world where many people have cybernetic bodies, and possibly lack genitals. Unfortunately they never go too far into the details.

The first one I would not classify as castration more supernatural teleportation/possession.... I don't understand the anime that much. However chainsaw man I think in the manga sequel has discussions of castration.

[Sakebigoe]

Ya, Dandandan is definitely not you're conventional castration but his balls were removed so it still sorta counts. There's also the weirdness with the various aliens wanting to steal the two main characters junk, they would presumably be using more conventional means. It's definitely a weird show but kinda fun, it reminds me of the nonsense animes I used to watch when I was younger. I think my third example is probably the best for anime or manga castration, Tokyo Ghoul doesn't shy away from the subject and it has a slightly more serious vibe.

Tokyo ghoul was kinda messed up but same can be said for chainsaw man.

To be fair most media that features castration is pretty messed up. Most people are horrified by the very idea castration so it's not common for it to be presented in a positive light.

Can't disagree with you too much, there's the sexual aspect to it which understandably repulses a lot of people. Well I say people in general, but I'm curious if women are as nearly as repulsed by castration as most men are? I imagine most would be blasé about it.

I imagine most would be blasé about it.

That's the impression I get when my she-friends speak about eunuchs from Game of Thrones.

I don't think you will get any serious discussion on the subject in the media. Erotic fiction or any fiction for that matter, just perpetuates the common myths about eunuchs and castration. They use eunuchs and castration to fuel wish fulfillment fantasies.

Consider this. There are a lot of fictional stories of women castrating men and making them sexual slaves. There is a fair amount of erotic literature out there featuring fem-dom characters castrating their partners or using castration as a punishment threat to keep their partners in line. I always laugh, when I run across this. Fem dom, FLR, D/s all of those, exist because there is a sexual tension created between the man and woman. The woman through manipulation, even though it is consentual, creates a tease/denial pattern to increase the sexual tension between her and her partner. This way she can exert control and a power exchange so she can get her way.

Remove the testicles, and you have removed the sexual tension, and therefore you have removed the power exchange and control. Even in a vanilla relationship, women can and do exert their power over men. Women intrinsically know they are the flame and men are the moth. Women don't talk about eunuchs, because we are their kryptonite. We take away their power. This is why the vast majority of women are repulsed by eunuchs.

The women who aren't repulsed by eunuchs have figured out that relationships built on sex, manipulation, and shallow desires aren't fulfilling. I don't think they talk about eunuchs, because most people won't get it.
