Uhh...

I'd suggest keeping your nutsack.  You could always change your mind later.

This should really go without saying.

It should, but then...this thread got created anyway.

Hey who said anything about losing the sack?

If I get the balls removed i can still keep the sack, and I could use it to smuggle drugs across borders.

But you'll have issues with bone density, weight gain... I believe a number of other health issues. Eunuchs were never noted for their longevity.

It sounds like you've studied the possibility.

I did mention that in my original post, and its mainly why I haven't had it done yet. That and the possibility of a non surgical, non debilitating fix likely to come about in the future.

On a side note its nice to that as many people don't care entirely as want me to remove my balls, and I'm guessing they're not advising me because they think its going to make my life better.

If you feel that you can go your entire life without another orgasm, you're one powerful man.

You can have an orgasm by stimulating your prostate. So if you wanna cum you're gonna have to get fucked up the ass by something.

Personally I find the urge to orgasm far more compelling than the actual desire for the pleasure it brings, and I know I'm not beating off and trying to get laid because its fun.

It is fun, and I'd like to rationalize it that thats why I'm doing it, but there are plenty asexuals out there who are perfectly capable of orgasm, but just don't have whatever biological motor that the rest of us have and don't waste their time on it.

I think testosterone levels are a huge factor in how much of a slave you are to your nuts.  There may be natural ways to lower your level without removing the source altogether.

You may be giving up a lot more than just sex.  Testosterone is a key ingredient in male competitive drive, too. Lose your nuts and you may lose your ambition to succeed and the will to resist others controlling you.

So you're saying female liberty lovers have a bit too much testosterone?

Last night, I saw an HBO documentary on celibacy. An expert on human sexuality stated that castration of an adult does not remove sexual desire, since much of that desire has its origin in the brain. Castration merely dampens the desire a bit, while at the same time rendering it impossible to act upon.

So, you' might be all revved up with no where to go!

Women (and eunuchs) get testosterone from their adrenal glands.  Enough to make them horny without giving them beards and baritones.  Women also get most of their piss and vinegar from fluctuating estrogen levels.

Just eat lots of tofu and flood your system with estrogen.  All of the benefits (minus the real "truck nuts" you might have been planning to make), none of the side-effects.  Plus it's cheap if you buy it in an Oriental store, like $0.60/lb for firm.  Two pounds a day instead of meat and in six months or so your privates won't bother you any more.
