Was reading a study that indicated surgical castrations average about 18 years from the time that an individual developed interest in being a eunuch to the time of their actual castration.

This timespan is actually about how long it took me to go from idea to surgery. It's not a fast process and there are a lot of moving parts that have to come together.

How long did it take you from first interest to castration?

Interesting, where did you find that 18 year statistic? I'm curious because that lines up pretty closely with my own experience as well. It took me about 20 years from the time I first started wanting to be a eunuch to when I had my surgery to accomplish my goal.

Thank you for the comment. I should have included the link on the original post.

If that's the case, I'll be 40 when I become a eunuch. But I think I'll make it after 50+.

The mentioned study was led by an author who is well known to the EA community and is highly reputable...

EAv2 members supplied the data for several studies on this topic, all are worth looking at - perhaps we can get a list, and access to full texts instead of the restricted versions available online...

One result in a different study that Paolo said came as a big surprise was that the age given in response to the question about if one had a time machine to go back and get fixed at that age, when would you choose.... He said that the overwhelming response was in the 11-13 year old range... (note that nearly all were well over 40, and most over 60 by the time they actually were...)

As I note in my sig, it was only 5-6 years from when I learned that voluntary castration was a real option to when I got my surgery... However some form of castration / genital modification was a significant part of my fantasy world for as long as I can remember - both ends of the knife, voluntary or not, etc, lots of different scenarios, but the key ingredient was there in some form... How to count that is a question I have no idea how to answer...

Based on what I know now, if I had a time machine I'd go back and have it done at 11-13 years old also. I probably wouldn't have appreciated it at the time, however.

I encountered this fantasy as a fetish of a dominant woman. I was scared and shocked that she expected it as a serious desire ... that one day ... although she doesn't know how and by whom, in what way, but it will happen in our serious D / s relationship.
In the time following the first imprinting relationship, I continuously only lived as a sub in D/s relationships in which my partner was a woman with or open to castration fetish. (It was surprisingly easy to advertise and search for myself with such a specific search term.) (2004-2017) And... okt.01. 2022. my castration.It's surprising that after 2017, the determination matured in me as my own expectation and I had the opportunity to fulfill it. And this is 2004-2022... exactly 18 years...

I stand corrected. Nine months

I think about 10 years. Looking back started as a femdom fetish that evolved into a particular interest in ballbusting, which became increasingly rough and then castration
