Wow, I never thought of that!

[Jesse]

Castration!! Hell yeah, I wouldn't have a *** drive anymore and so hopefully wouldn't care! Has anyone else thought about doing this?

 

[Nyktimos]

It's a bit extreme! Give it a few more tries before considering castration.

 

[Lonesome Crow]

oh hell no

 

[Jesse]

Yeah but I was thinking man, you wouldn't care anymore. So up to the point of having it done it'd be a difficult thing to do, but afterwards it'd be great. You wouldn't have to worry about relationships or sexual desires or anything, you could just focus on your family and your career. Actually, you'd better be able to focus on those things.

 

[Divinitywolf]

Would you not still have the desire to have a relationship?
Personally I ignore my sexual desires. I want a relationship that is special, not driven by lust.
Even when castrated I'd still feel loneliness...I'd still want someone.

Castration wouldn't be the answer I don't think.

 

[Jesse]

Well if you're lonely you could always spend more time with your family and friends.

 

[cheaptrickfan]

I know you're kind of joking here, but I've read that even chemical castration isn't 100% effective in reduction of *** drives, and physical castration isn't as effective in reducing the libido.

Neither option would help with the other manifestations of loneliness.

Besides, aren't there other urges than sexual ones driving the desire for companionship?

Edited for clarity

I know you're kind of joking here, but I've read that even chemical castration isn't 100% effective in reduction of *** drives, and physical castration does absolutely nothing to reduce the libido.

Actually I wasn't joking. I was really thinking about it seriously, though I didn't know physical castration doesn't do anything to reduce the libido. Unless I was guaranteed it was completely eliminated, I wouldn't want to do it.

Well of course, but I've got plenty of female friends who only want to remain friends, but spending time with them offers me companionship. Spending time with them and other friends and my family takes care of my lonliness. If I could take care of my sexual urges I'd be set.

There can be serious side effects with the drugs used for chemical castration. Some of those drugs are anti-cancer drugs (for prostate and breast cancers). You really don't want that **** pouring into your system unless you are deathly ill. Besides, lowering testosterone can have some seriously bad effects on your body. Depending on which drug they use, side effects can range from depression and weight gain, to hair loss and abnormal breast growth. One of the commonly used drugs is Depo Provera which is given to women as a birth control drug.

I doubt that a reputable physician would even attempt this, it's controversial enough when talking about *** offenders. Many doctors don't believe that it's a viable solution to address just the physical aspect even in those cases.

"though I didn't know physical castration doesn't do anything to reduce the libido."

I think that over time, yes it reduces the libido, but it's not as immediate as the testosterone-reducing drugs. Historically, they used to castrate boys at an earlier age and it would stunt them, more or less, because they hadn't hit puberty so there weren't the effects of testosterone on their development. Once you've reached and passed through puberty, it's got to be a trickier issue.


It seems drastic.

 

[Jesse]

Oh I didn't know all the side effects either. Well I guess I'll have to tough it out

 

[cheaptrickfan]

Seriously, the effects of the birth control drugs in women can be harsh (extra hair in unwanted places, weight gain, potential for blood clots in some), I don't know why the hell a man would volunteer to undergo it unless it's an extreme case, like some pedophiles do in the hope that they can eliminate their *** drive.

Toughing it out sucks, I know but it has to be better than the alternative. :/

Wouldn't castration end your testoterone supply, slowly turning you into a more feminine man?

 

[cheaptrickfan]

Wouldn't castration end your testoterone supply, slowly turning you into a more feminine man?

Yes and no. Reducing the testosterone is only one step in feminization (like in a *** change). You'd have to add the female *** hormones estrogen and progesterone.

O_O

 

[Spare]

You know what would happen right after you did something like this? You'd meet someone wonderful, someone who was completely into you not only emotionally, but physically as well. But you'd be like, "eh. Whatever."

Definitely not worth the risk!

 

[Jesse]

Yes hopefully I'll meet someone and have to eat my words, of course before anything drastic happens lol.

 

[Papabear]

what a stupid post... you are gonna mutilate your body because you are too socially inept to make the strides necessary to meet someone?

I understand that it can be SUPER difficult, but honestly wouldn't you rather just practice getting better with people so you can meet more women so you can meet a good one than cut your balls off?

BTW, I think you should seek professional help if this was a serious post.

 

[Jesse]

I meet people all the time, I don't have much trouble with that, it's just that none of them ever like me as more than a friend. If you knew some things I've been through you might understand why I might think about this, but I'm not considering it anymore after thinking about it.

Jesse,

I discuss with you pretending certain issuses.
I also shared my some of my personal experince.

If you read some of my posts. There were truning pionts in my life.
I was only able to form close relationships with women after I made
some major decisions in my life.

I also have to seek professional help in the first year of my recovery.

The way I was raised as a child coloured my thinking and behavior patterns.

I lived a very destructive and unhealthy life style as a young man.
I was living in denial..I could'nt make the connection or corrolations.

It was me ******* my up life as a young man...no one else.
Stupid *** cops and crazy women chasing after my ***..it's all thier god damn fualt
I'm not sure who was safer at certain moments..the cops or the wife wanting to kill my ***.

I married a woman of my dream. She was a super model with a lot of sweetness in her.
She was the love of my life. I ****** that **** all up and ****** her up in the process too.
She went fucken crazy one night and came after me with a knife. (to castrat me and more probably.lol)
If she couldn't have me...no other women was go to have me either.
I'm a lead guitarist..I had a standard and reputation to up held...( in other words...I cheated on her).
I blamed her for all of our problems...but the truth of that matter was I was the destructive force in that relationship.
I couldn't make the connection. She even begged me to go into treatment and seek sometype of help.
She loved me very much...but I was too fucken hard headed. So she filed for a devoirce.
I blamed her for that too and checked the **** out all the time.

There's rocovery books written about people like me of the various behavior patterns, thinking process...etc
It's as if I wrote the book myself.

It has straight forward messages in it too though.
I'm not responsible for being an addict...I'm responsible for my recovery.

I'm not responsible for getting abandant and beaten as a child.
I'm responsible for my recovery. I'm not a victim.

I'm not responsible for Jenni's death.
I'm responsible for my happiness.

Anywho..I had to do first things first inorder for me to process and
work through all that ****....

It's alright thought...man.
I didn't consider castration...However I thought about being a fucken monk when I first got sober.
Go into the mountains to run away from life and all my responsibilities.
Another one of my quick fix and instant gradifications plans.
Belive it or not fucken women drives me up the fucken walls just the same.
Can't live with them...can't live without them.

I'm sorry for all your pains jesse.
I hope you get well.
