	Poll 1: Castration Status I have been corresponding with a medical professional and have attempted to devise a serious poll, scientific enough (we hope) for the results to be published in medical literature. In the following poll, questions 1 through 9 are for those men who have already been castrated. Questions 10 through 16 are for those who are contemplating castration. Please give a minute to this questionnaire and please try to answer as truthfully as possible. Which of the following statements is most true concerning your own castration status? Please choose only one answer in this poll. 1. I have been castrated for medical reasons and, except for the treatment that it provided for my medical condition, I regret the other changes it has made in my life. 2. I have been castrated for medical reasons but I don't find the changes it made in my life particularly surprising or regrettable. 3. I have been castrated for medical reasons and coincidentally found the changes it made in my life better than I expected. 4. I have been castrated as part of the sequence toward sexual reassignment and now regret having it done. 5. I have been castrated as part of the sequence toward sexual reassignment and the changes it has made in my life are neither surprising nor regrettable. 6. I have been castrated as part of the sequence toward sexual reassignment and coincidentally found the changes it has made in my life better than I expected. 7. I was castrated to fulfill a sexual/emotional need (other than transitioning from male to female) and regret having it done. 8. I was castrated to fulfill a sexual/emotional need (other than transitioning from male to female) and find the changes it made in my life not particularly surprising or regrettable. 9. I was castrated to fulfill a sexual/emotional need (other than transitioning from male to female) and coincidentally found the changes it has made in my life better than I expected. 10. I plan to be castrated for medical/health reasons. 11. I never want to be truly castrated, but I fantasize about it. 12. I think I would submit to castration, if I could have a scene just like my fondest fantasy. 13. I would submit to castration only if my partner truly wanted me to be their eunuch. 14. I want to be a woman's (or man's, if gay) eunuch, but would consider castration only if my partner sincerely shared my lifestyle ideal. 15. I wouldn't hesitate to be castrated if an affordable and medically safe operation was available. 16. I want to be castrated so badly I'm willing to be castrated in a non-clinical environment by a non-M.D. 17. None of the above statements closely approximate my situation or feelings.
