Why Does Castration Turn Us On?
I view castration as having the potential of raising love from the physical to the cerebral and emotional level. For a woman, having a castrated lover would mean he would spend much more time in foreplay and be much more interested in her pleasure. There would be little or no focus on the man�s climax or orgasm (many eunuchs are incapable of orgasm). Ultimately, this would increase the level intimacy between the couple. Pleasure would become a shared experience for the man, rather than something that was taken. Many men have fantasies about being castrated by, or for, their lovers. More men are now coming forward and admitting it. Many say it is just a fantasy only. Perhaps, but as the eunuch community continues to grow and carve its niche in society I think more men (and women) will become comfortable with the idea. I think the nearer the real-life situation approximates the fantasy, the more likely the man will submit and become a lifestyler. Castration is for the man who does not see himself as a macho-man, or has turned his back on that stereotype. The voluntary eunuch is the ultimate civilized male. The eunuch is a more attentive lover and a kinder, gentler lady�s companion. The eunuch sees lovemaking as an ongoing process of sensuous intimacy and sharing with his partner rather than a brief moment of release of throbbing semen ejection. Castration is probably not for everybody, but it is certainly an idea whose time has come.
Years ago, long before the internet was popular among the general public, I used to think I was the only person on earth with a castration fixation/fetish. I searched through all the available literature in libraries, psychological magazines and medical journals. There were references to castration anxiety in men who feared castration (and this mostly concerned the actual or symbolic loss of the penis - not the testicles). The existence of men who desired to willfully give up their testicles to become a calmer, more attentive, woman�s companion was, and still is, a topic ignored by the psychiatric establishment. As I investigated the BDSM world to see if I might find something here, I noticed that for every fetish, no matter how bizarre (from mainstream vanilla perspective), an individual could always find his or her reciprocal counterpart in their chosen kink. Tops could find bottoms and bottoms could find tops; people who liked to be spanked could find those who liked to spank; toe suckers could find people who wanted their toes sucked; etc. No matter what your kink; asphyxiation, scat, human toilet, or whatever; you could find someone with the reciprocal kink. The one exception seemed to be men who wanted to become a eunuch companion for a woman. Of course there was cock and ball torture (CBT), but this was usually fantasy play with emphasis on pain caused to the man�s genitals during a session. If they went all the way it was probably an accident. They weren�t into it for the eunuch-and-mistress lifestyle which would follow castration. I refused to believe that in over 5000 years of written history that I was the first person to conceive of the concept of voluntarily becoming a eunuch to enhance my relationship with a mistress. According to available sources, eunuch making was just a brutal act performed by kings, sultans, and men of wealth on other hapless males to make them safe custodians of their harems. Occasionally, religious ascetics would castrate themselves (often in a frenzy) to remove all thoughts of sex from their minds. Was consensual castration by men for women nonexistent in all of history or had records of it just been suppressed by a patriarchal society that quaked at the thought of it? Gradually I gleaned a few snippets of information - a sentence here and there - from mainstream historical sources that began to partially confirm my suspicions. I read in one source how time passed slowly in a gilded cage and harem women often had a more meaningful relationship with the eunuchs than their masters whom they saw only rarely. There were also references, ever so brief, to eunuch bedchamber servants being popular with wealthy Roman ladies. I wondered if these eunuchs were really all that unhappy with their lot in life. I also began to wonder if the eunuch priests of Cyble and Vesta really lived such a cold and sexless existence as we had been led to believe. Perhaps these eunuchs and the priestesses found each other�s company quite amiable. Once I got on the internet I discovered that there were indeed others who shared my infatuation with this subject. The men seem to greatly outnumber the women at present, but I have faith that there are approximately equal numbers of women interested in the eunuch and mistress lifestyle. I don�t think women have the same surfing habits as men do (and more men than women are into computers). We just haven�t bumped into each other yet. I think if we could get the word out among the readers of women�s magazines, fashion magazines, etc. (or wherever women hang out) the women would start showing up on the eunuch boards and clubs.
The eunuch community needs to establish their right to be eunuchs just a transsexuals have now established their right to have their gender reassigned. Most TG clinics view a prospective eunuch as a transsexual who has not yet fully committed himself to making the full transition to a woman. For this reason they won�t remove penises or scrotums. They feel they will need these to build female parts later on when the eunuch decides to go all the way and become a woman. The eunuch community must convince TG clinics that becoming a eunuch is a legitimate end in its own right, not just a transition point on the road to becoming female. Another avenue that some middle-aged men are pursuing is attempting to convince their urologists that they have a dual need to be castrated. Testosterone is the fuel that causes many prostate cancers to grow rapidly out of control. Removal of the testes reduces the danger of prostate cancer to near zero. Additionally, a man at this age is usually no longer interested in fathering children. Castration solves both problems simultaneously. Also some women have conditions that would make pregnancy life threatening to them (or maybe they just have a terrible fear of pregnancy). If your wife or girlfriend is one of these, that would be another reason for a doctor to consider castration to be medically indicated. I have a feeling that in most of these cases (unless the patient really does have some serious prostate problems) that the urologist suspects the real reason behind the man�s desire to be castrated. These medical conditions are just a convenient rubber stamp of legitimacy. The psychiatric establishment seems to have all but ignored the eunuch-wannabe phenomenon. I have been unable to find any literature on it.
Poster on another site (36/M) Can anyone explain why the thought of being castrated turns me on so much? I'm beginning to want it now..:) Even if the thought of castration is horrid, I feel horny thinking about it. I'm a married man, but can't get it out of my head. I would want a real woman to do it though...Can anyone explain why this makes me horny? (name kept confidential) Farrell�s Reply: I can�t really explain why the thought of castration turns you (or me) on, but I do know we are not alone. I have been following posts on the Eunuch Archive message boards for over two years and have seen this pattern. I have searched the web trying to find some documented medical information, but for some reason the psychiatric establishment chooses to ignore the phenomenon. The topic seems to be enshrouded in some kind of academic taboo. You can find information on castration anxiety, but nothing, as far as I know, about men who actually want it done. It�s kind of like male balding pattern - some men get it, some don�t. Among heterosexual males who develop an interest in castration it seems to typically start in their middle thirties. The same men would have told you it was the most horrible fate imaginable had you asked them when they were twenty-five. The desire to be castrated (which may have started out as nothing more than a fantasy) usually becomes stronger as time progresses. Many men (perhaps most) will simply suppress the urge and live frustrated and unfulfilled. Some will seek out cutters or resort to self-mutilation. This often lands them in the emergency room with a life-threatening situation. The castration boards and clubs on the net are relatively new and their members represent a very diverse group of gays & straights, people into heavy pain and/or humiliation, both subs and tops, etc., all with the common bond of having some kind of interest in castration. My comments here pertain only to that segment of heterosexual males who are captivated by the thought of their own castration, but desire a relatively normal domestic life otherwise. Most would envision their wives/lovers as desiring them in the castrated condition. Many would see castration as a way to elevate their relationships to a level above physical sex and actually enhance intimacy with their partners. I know this doesn�t answer the �why?� question, but these are just things I�ve noticed from reading many posts. Until some people with the right letters after their names release the results of a scientific study we will probably be left with nothing more than our own speculation. I would like to know the truth also. Farrell
