Poll 2: Why I have not been castrated. This poll is for men who have NOT been castrated, but are seeking or contemplating castration for other than medical reasons. Why have you not been castrated? In this poll you may select more than one answer. Please include all responses that apply. Please be as honest as possible. If you choose "other," include a brief explanation with your response board. 1. I would like a trial run with reversible chemical castration first. 2. I fear knowledge of my castration could cause problems for me in the workplace. 3. I fear my wife/partner would disapprove of my decision to be castrated. 4. I fear family members, other than wife or partner, would disapprove of my decision to be castrated. 5. I have no partner and fear I'll damage my chances of finding one, if I become a eunuch. 6. A medically safe castration is too expensive for my budget. 7. I'm embarrassed to talk to my physician or urologist about this. 8. I fear that an operation by a street cutter would be dangerous. 9. I would only want to be castrated in a BDSM scene of my liking, not in a sterile, serious clinical environment. 10. If castration were as cheap, safe, and painless as a flu shot, I'd be much more likely to get it done. 11. I am concerned about long term side effects other than loss of libido. 12. Other.
