Title: Castration
Post by: DogOn on June 06, 2008, 08:49:54 PM
Pros :

- Gain tens of thousands of extra hours over the course of a lifetime of non sex + masturbation
- Less time spent, more dignity gained from not having to filter through swathes of idiots in order to find someone who actually wants to fuck me
- Clearer thought due to lack of hormones/sex drive
- No chance of me ruining my life with a wife + kid/s combo
- Get to carry my balls in a jar/make real truck nuts
- Less chance of heart problems due to less testosterone
- Don't have to be frustrated with lack of sex

Cons:

-Lose masturbation as a free past time
-Possible mental hormonal problems
-Possible physical hormonal problems
-Social stigma of being a ball-less freak
-Surgery and/or expensive chemical treatments
-Harder to maintain muscle mass without testosterone
-Don't get to have sex again

I've always been rather skeptical of the amount of time dedicated to sex and the pursuit of it, having made some questionable choices  myself in terms of who I've spent time with just for a lay, all in all my life so far probably would have been alot better had I remained in a prepubescent state of sexual apathy.

If that asexual guy/gal is still on this forum I'd be interested to hear their opinion on the matter.

Do what you want, but you'll regret it until the day you die.

How come? There's plenty of shit I'm not sexually attracted to and it doesn't bother me, why not take humans off the list?

Because then you won't be there to please other humans.

I could still please humans fine, just in ways that actually have more thought to it than a biological mechanism we evolved to have merely to continue the species.

If I could simply turn off the part of the brain that makes me care about sex I would have done it along time ago, and if it wasn't for the host of physical and mental problems that can occur with castration, plus the permanency of the whole thing I would have done that along time ago, but right now I don't have the balls (or the cash) and I'm holding out on a solution that doesn't involve massively altering my mind and my physiology.

You say that like the simple things aren't worth it because they're simple. :P

Worth has nothing to do with complexity. People only fuck because hormones dictate it.

 Now we only do anything because of our brain chemistry, but at least in making a piece of music or inventing something there is a level of conscious thought and creativity that in my eyes makes it worth while and lasting. For all the hyperbole and hysteria, you might as well be rubbing elbows than fucking in every sense other than how the chemicals can make you feel and desire.

People will put up with horrible character flaws that they wouldn't take in a "friend" but throw in nebulous feelings of love and an inherited sense of meaning and people do and say all kinds of things that they are only doing because of a chemical feeling that they are largely unaware of and most often fail to separate from conscious thought and abstract concepts.

With the right cocktail of chemicals I can be "in love" with an apple, I can want to fuck a tire iron, I can see beauty in a pile of shit.

Now until more is learned about the nature of consciousness and qualia, I can't say for certain that there is any more value in a book or a conversation than an hours fucking, but it certainly seems that way, especially since we imitate so much of the automaton behavior of our animal ancestors in this respect.

Want any base to go with that assertion?

Just because fucking feels good and you're (biologically) meant to want to do it doesn't mean you shouldn't question it.

I don't think fucking is wrong, I just think if I could have my mind installed in a computer I wouldn't waste a second of my time rubbing or thrusting any part of my body into anyone elses body if I didn't have a shitfull of hormones in my body.

Also, from a practical point of view, it tends to cause more problems than its worth, especially for the teen pregnancy/AIDS crowd, although thats not my reasoning for it.

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?
Title: Re: Castration
Post by: mikehz on June 12, 2008, 11:59:09 AM
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.

Of course, another option is a steady source of sex. A good, daily dose keeps you from thinking about it all of the time.

Easier said than done. I don't have the money for hookers 24/7, and the only people in my life who have ever let me fuck them all had serious character flaws that made me regret spending time with them.

Probably because they were British. Amirite?

Maybe. I haven't spent enough time round other nationalities to tell the difference.
