Castration: DISCUSSION

[hankhavelock]

Let me cast a little light on this subject that is actually NOT just a masturbation fantasy but, indeed, very real to some transsexual women.

It's no surprise to most that many transsexuals go into hormone-therapy. Such a therapy can consist of two types of hormones: Female hormones (to boost female characteristics) and anti-male hormones (to minimize effects of the natural production of male hormones).

The production of male hormones are directly connected to the testicles - in other words, castration (removal of the testicles) will radically reduce productions of male hormones.

I actually have a good transsexual friend who is considering castration - she does not wish to do full SRS (sexual reassignment surgery) but she feels that castration may make the effect of the female hormones better.

Obviously, such decisions are made together with a doctor and there are numerous side effects - loss of libido and ability to get sexually aroused is just one of them. But even the use of hormones alone can have these effects too - often does. Most transsexuals on hormones actually DO have reduced libido and sperm-production. So when you hear about this GORGEOUS Thai ladyboy who's been on hormones since the age of 11 and still shoots HUGE loads of cum, take it with a grain of salt as that is highly unlikely.

Being a transsexual is more often than not a matter of gender-identification. It has as such little to do with sexual orientation (even though a majority are sexually attracted to men) and it is rarely a "fetish" (then we're talking about transvestites). Quite a few transsexuals are not at all these "hard-cocked sex-maniacs" that we all like to dream about. Some are, of course, but hardly the majority.

They are human beings with a different gender-identity than the majority - that's all. And unless we talk about the transsexual and cross dressing girls making a living from our sexual attraction to them they are most likely TIRED of being regarded as mere objects of this sexual attraction.

They are GIRLS and like most other girls they dream of a sane and normal relationship with a man that truly loves them for every thing they are... and that's the bareback truth!

Peace!

Well said Hank some people dont look at the coin on this side!

[JodieTs]

Zoladex rocks!
Implant every 12 weeks, causes to testicles to switch off.
{Mine are 1/4 the size they were 2years ago}
Fewer bad side effects compared to an antiandrogen,
so many Gender Clinics use it instead

And yes, orgasms rock, no mess
.....and you can get aroused whenever you want to.

Castration WTF???
[It's called an orchiectomy]

Castration WTF???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Ok, so assuming you are a M 2 F pre-op Transsexual, & you want an
orchi. there are some considerations.

1. Is it an end point or do you intend to later have full
genital reassignment surgery / sex reassignment surgery
[GRS / SRS] in the future?
If you do, then a bi-lateral orchi looses you donor material for GRS.
For this reason, half the worlds GRS surgeons will not touch you if
you've had an orchi.
If it is a half way point, then the clock starts ticking as the donor
material starts to atrophy after 3 to 4 years, making GRS difficult,
or compromised (less vaginal depth) So, bringing in a ticking clock
into your decision process on GRS is not a good idea.

2. So you want an orchi, as an end point, & not as a stepping stone to
GRS. Ok....

Considerations
Why have an orchi?
a .Appearance...detesting testicles but ambivalent to your penis
b. To cut down on meds & resultant stress on liver
c. To reduce side effects of meds
d. To stop masculising effects of testosterone
e. To remove the need to take anti-androgens
f. Meds have had a detrimental & painful effect on your testicles, &
surgery is the only viable solution.

My reasons for planning an orchi are points a to e.

Other considerations
After an Orchi, you are at substantial risk of osteoporosis
& will require drugs to offset this risk, for the rest of your life.

How to proceed
First you require one or possibly two psychs to write a letter to
advise why an orchi is desirable & required. You may well struggle at
this first point. My gender psychs. have ok'ed me for surgery.
This is specifically because I have been consistent in my intent,
during the three years of my psych sessions.
They apply the same criteria for ok'ing an orchi,
that they apply to anyone wanting SRS.

You will require a psych to sign off on this, to cover the surgeon
against legal action in the future, if you then later regret it.
The surgeon will certainly require you to sign a letter which removes
said surgeon from any liability.

In the uk, Private surgery is ?1500 to ?2000. the price reflecting
whether its done under local or general aesthetic.

Its usually a day surgery, not requiring an overnight stay.

Appearance
A friend had an orchi, some years ago. The results look fantastic, just
totally right.

This is something I've been intent on having for the last three years.
I've chatted to my friend about it, obviously,
& also another, who had surgery 6 yrs ago.
Do you still get hard & orgasm?
Yes in both cases, though it takes a lots longer to do both.
Obviously there is no seaman but a clear discharge at orgasm. This
stops after about two years.
I can relate to that as due to my level of meds, my previous large
volume of sperm is reduced often to either a clear liquid or no liquid
at all....Goody, saves on clean up tissues! ;-)

BTW, orgasms are as intense.

Note.
You may cease to have erections or they may tail off.
Possibly the same with orgasms as well.
I think much of this is as much to do with what's going on in your
head as much as whether you have testicles.

...As they say mileages may vary.


Please note, I have absolutely no medical training of ANY TYPE.
Before seriously considering acting on having an orchi, consult with
your psych. & health care providers. Its a major decision.



There you lot go, another transsexual females take on it all.
