<div>Yesterday, I googled &quot;eunuchs&quot; and found a story about a fifteen year old boy named Greg who was castrated by his parents for molesting a young girl. I then found this site and joined promptly. I am 64 in February and need to be castrated lest I molest a girl, something I have thought about too often now that I live alone. I wish my parents had me castrated when I was twelve and at summer camp grabbing the biggest cocks or at home playing with my little sister and her girlfriends. My life would have been much, much happier and certainly calmer over the years.<br />
<br />
I understand Greg's parents consulted the Bible. I am a practising Catholic and found the quote in Matthew,19:12 where Jesus says that self made sunuchs can essentially be welcomed into heaven...so there IS a loving God, not a vengeful God after all.<br />
<br />
I wanted to know if I can contact the parents of Greg or Greg himself. I wanted to know if I can get my balls and scrotum removed and think about the total penectomy. Thank you all. This is a great site and I now spend much time learning all there is to know about this subject which I wish, back in the mid 1950's existed or at least my parents had me castrated back then.<br />

SOME Texans are worried that a constitutional amendment against gay marriage they passed in 2005 appears to ban heterosexual marriage as well.<br />
<br />
The text seems unambiguous to me:<br />
<br />
<font style="font-weight:bold"><i>This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognise any legal status identical or similar to marriage.</i></font> Got that? The state may not recognise any legal status identical to marriage. Such as marriage. <br />
<br />
This sounds like the libertarian argument that we should separate marriage and state, but I guess that wasn't what they meant to say.<br />

<a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=why-do-human-testicles-hang-like-th-2009-11-19" target="_blank">http://www.scientificamerican.com/bl...-th-2009-11-19</a><br />
<br />
Earlier this year, I wrote a <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=secrets-of-the-phallus" target="_blank">column</a> about evolutionary psychologist <a href="http://www.albany.edu/psychology/gallup.html" target="_blank">Gordon Gallup’s</a> “semen displacement hypothesis,” a convincing hypothesis presenting a very plausible, empirically supported account of the evolution of the peculiarly shaped human penis. In short, Gallup and his colleagues argued that our species’ distinctive phallus, with its bulbous glans and flared coronal ridge, was sculpted by natural selection as a foreign <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-misunderstood-penis" target="_blank">sperm-removal device</a>. As a companion piece to that work on our phallic origins, Gallup, along with Mary Finn and Becky Sammis, have put forth a related hypothesis in this month’s issue of <i>Evolutionary Psychology</i>. This new hypothesis, which the authors call “the activation hypothesis,” sets out to explain the natural origins of the only human body part arguably less attractive than the penis--the testicles. In many respects, the activation hypothesis serves to elaborate what many of us already know about descended scrotal testicles: that they serve as a sort of “ cold storage” and production unit for sperm, which keep best at lower body temperatures. But it goes much further than this fact, too. It turns out that human testicles display some rather elaborate yet subtle temperature-regulating features that have gone largely unnoticed by doctors, researchers and laymen alike. The main tenet of the activation hypothesis is that the heat of a woman's vagina radically jumpstarts sperm that have been hibernating in the cool, airy scrotal sack. Yet it explains many other things too, including why one testicle is usually slightly lower than the other, why the skin of the scrotum becomes more taut and the testicles retract during sexual arousal, and even why testicular injuries--compared to other types of bodily assault--are so excruciatingly painful to men.<br />
 The opening line of Gallup's new article helps readers to appreciate the oddity of the scrotum:<blockquote>It is almost unthinkable to ask why ovaries do not descend during embryological development and emerge outside the female’s body cavity in a thin, unprotected sack…</blockquote>After you’ve finished exorcising that unsettling image from your mind, consider that the dangling gonads of many male animals (including humans) are no less puzzling. After all, why in all of evolution would nature have designed a body part with such obviously enormous reproductive importance to hang off the body so defenseless and vulnerable? Although we tend to become accustomed to our body parts and it often fails to occur to us to even ask why they are the way they are, some of the biggest evolutionary mysteries are also the most mundane aspects of our lives.<br />
 Thus, the first big question is why so many mammalian species evolved hanging scrotal testicles to begin with. The male gonads in some phylogenetic lineages went in completely different directions, evolutionary speaking. For example, modern elephants’ testicles remain undescended and are deeply embedded in the body cavity (a trait referred to as “testicond”), whereas other mammals, such as seals, have descended testicles but are ascrotal, with the gonads simply being subcutaneous.<br />
 Gallup and his coauthors jog through several possible theories of our species’ testicular evolution by descent. One of the more fanciful accounts--and one ultimately discarded by the authors--is that scrotal testicles evolved in the same spirit as <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=scientists-unravel-peacoc" target="_blank">peacock feathers</a>. That is to say, given the enormous disadvantage of having your entire genetic potential contained in a thin satchel of unprotected, delicate flesh and swinging several millimeters away from the rest of your body, perhaps scrotal testicles evolved as a sort of ornamental display communicating the genetic quality of the male. In evolutionary biology, this type of adaptationist account appeals to the “handicapping principle.” The theoretical gist of the handicapping principle is that if the organism can thrive and survive while still being hobbled by such a costly, maladaptive trait such as elaborate, cumbersome plumage or (in this case) vulnerably drooping gonads, then it must have some high quality genes and be a valuable mate.<br />
 Although descended scrotal testicles do satisfy the obvious criterion of being counterintuitively costly, the authors conclude that handicapping is an unlikely explanation. If it were true, we would expect to see scrotal testicles becoming increasingly elaborate and dangly over the course of evolution, not to mention women should display a preference for males toting around the most ostentatious scrotal baggage. “With the possible exception of colored male scrota among a few species of primates,” write Gallup and his colleagues, “there is little evidence that this has been the case.” I’m not aware of any studies on intra-species individual variation in scrotal design, but I’m nonetheless willing to speculate that most human males have rather bland, run-of-the-mill scrota. Anything deviating from this--particularly a set of unusually pendulous testicles suspended in knee-length scrota--is probably more likely to have a woman dry-heaving, screaming, or <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=brave-stupid-and-curious" target="_blank">staring</a> in confusion than serving as an aphrodisiac.  <br />
 Again, a more likely explanation for scrotal descent, and one that has been around for some time, is that sperm production and storage is maximized at cooler temperatures. “Not only is the skin of the scrotal sack thin to promote heat dissipation,” the authors write:<blockquote>...the arteries that supply blood to the scrotum are positioned adjacent to the veins taking blood away from the scrotum and function as an additional cooling/heating exchange mechanism. As a consequence of these adaptations average scrotal temperatures in humans are typically 2.5 to 3 degrees Celcius lower than body temperature (37 degrees Celcius), and spermatogenesis is most efficient at 34 degrees Celcius. </blockquote><a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=sperm-supply-tied-to-competition-08-11-28" target="_blank">Sperm</a>, it turns out, are extraordinarily sensitive to even minor fluctuations in room temperature. When the ambient temperature rises to body temperature levels, there is a temporary increase in sperm motility (that is to say, they become more lively), but only for a period of time before fizzing out. To be more exact, sperm thrive at body temperature for 50 minutes to 4 hours, the average length of time it takes for them to journey through the female reproductive tract and to fertilize the egg. But once the spermatic temperature rises much above 37 degrees Celcius, the chances for a successful insemination consequently plummet--any viable sperm become the equivalent of burnt toast. So in other words, except during sex, when it’s adaptive for sperm to be highly mobile and hyperactive, sperm are stored and produced most efficiently in the cool, breezy surroundings of the relaxed scrotal sack. One doesn’t want their scrotum to be too cold, however, since nature has calibrated these temperature points at precisely defined optimal levels.<br />
 Fortunately, human scrota don’t just hang there holding our testicles and brewing our sperm, they also “actively” employ some interesting thermoregulatory tactics to protect and promote males’ genetic interests. I place “actively” in scare quotes, of course, because although it would be rather odd to ascribe consciousness to human scrota, testicles do respond unintentionally to the reflexive actions of the cremasteric muscle. This muscle serves to retract the testicles so they are drawn up closer to the body when it gets too cold--just think cold shower--and also to relax them when it gets too hot. This up-and-down action happens on a moment-to-moment basis, thus male bodies continually optimize the gonadal climate for spermatogenesis and sperm storage. It’s also why it’s generally inadvisable for men to wear tight-fitting jeans or especially snug “tighty whities”--under these restrictive conditions the testicles are shoved up against the body and artificially warmed so that the cremasteric muscle cannot do its job properly. Another reason not to wear these things is that it’s no longer 1988.<br />
 Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But Dr. Bering, how do you account for the fact that testicles are rarely perfectly symmetrical in their positioning within the same scrotum?” In fact, the temperature regulating function governed by the cremasteric muscle can account even for the most lopsided, one-testicle-above-the-other, waffling asymmetries in testes positioning. According to a 2008 report in <i>Medical Hypotheses</i> by anatomist Stany Lobo from the Saba University School of Medicine, Netherlands Antilles, each testicle continuously migrates in its own orbit as a way of maximizing the available scrotal surface area that is subjected to heat dissipation and cooling. Like ambient heat generated by individual solar panels, when it comes to spermatic temperatures, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. With a keen enough eye, presumably one could master the art of “ reading” testicle alignment, using the scrotum as a makeshift room thermometer . But that's just me speculating.<br />
 From an evolutionary perspective--in contrast to my own personal perspective--the design of male genitalia only makes sense to the extent that it adaptively complements the female anatomy. In contrast to males, unless a woman is doing something unusual, the female reproductive tract is maintained continuously at standard body temperature. This is the crux of Gallup’s “activation hypothesis”: The rise in temperature surrounding sperm as occasioned by ejaculation into the vagina “activates” sperm, temporarily making them frenetic and therefore enabling them to acquire the necessary oomph to penetrate the cervix and to reach the fallopian tubes. “In our view,” write the authors:<blockquote>…descended scrotal testicles evolved to both capitalize on this copulation/insemination contingent temperature enhancement and function to prevent premature activation of sperm by keeping testicular temperatures below the critical value set by body temperatures.</blockquote>One of the things you may have noticed in your own genitalia or those of someone you’re especially close to is that, in contrast to the slackened scrotal skin accompanying flaccid, non-aroused states, penile erections are usually accompanied by a telltale retraction of the testicles closer to the body. This is the sort of thing easiest to demonstrate using visual illustrations--the editors at <i>Scientific American</i> wouldn’t let me get away with it here, but a quick Google image search should provide ample examples. Just choose your own search terms and disable “safe search”--though if you’re at work right now, you may want to save this as homework for later. According to Gallup and his coauthors, this is another smart scrotal adaptation. Not only does the cremasteric reflex serve to raise testicular temperature, thus mobilizing sperm for pending ejaculation into the vagina, but (added bonus) it also offers protection against possible damage to too-loose testicles resulting from vigorous <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=secrets-of-the-phallus" target="_blank">thrusting</a> during intercourse.<br />
 There are many other ancillary hypotheses connected to the activation hypothesis as well. For example, the authors ponder whether humans’ well-documented preference--and one rather unique in the animal kingdom--for nighttime sex can be at least partially explained by temperature-sensitive testicles. Although the authors note the many benefits of nocturnal copulation (such as accommodating clandestine sex or minimizing the threat of predation), this preference may also reflect a circadian adaptation related to descended scrota. Given that our species evolved originally in <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=new-research-pinpoints-origins-of-h-2009-04-30" target="_blank">equatorial regions</a> where daytime temperatures often soared above body temperature, optimal testicular adjustments would be difficult to maintain in such excessive heat. In contrast, ambient temperatures during the evening and at night fall below body temperature, returning to ideal thermoregulatory conditions for the testes. Additionally, after nighttime sex the woman is likely to sleep, thus remaining in a stationary, often supine position that also maximizes the odds of fertilization.<br />
 Although the activation hypothesis helps us to better understand the functional, if quirky, architecture of the human male gonads, it may still seem odd to you that nature would have invested so heavily in such a precipitously placed genetic bank. After all, we’re still left with the curious fact that our precious gametes are literally hanging in the balance in a completely unprotected vessel. Gallup and his coauthors aren’t unaware of this strange biological fact either:<blockquote>Any account of descended scrotal testicles must also address the enormous potential costs of having the testicles located outside the body cavity where they are left virtually unprotected and especially vulnerable to insult and damage. To be consistent with evolutionary theory the potential costs of scrotal testicles would have to be offset not only by compensating benefits (e.g., sperm activation upon insemination), but one would also expect to find corresponding adaptations that function to minimize or negate these costs.</blockquote>Enter <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=who-says-love-hurts-romantic-partne-2009-11-12" target="_blank">pain</a>. Not just any pain, but the unusually acute, excruciating pain accompanying testicular injury. Most males have some horrific stories to tell on this score--whether it be a soccer ball to the groin or the flailing foot of a sibling--but each of us men shares something in common: we’ve all become extraordinarily hypervigilant against threats to the welfare of our scrotal testicles. The fact that males are so squeamish and sensitive to this particular body part, point out the authors, can again be understood in the context of evolutionary biology. If you’re male, the reason that you probably wince when you hear the word “squash” or “rupture” paired with “testicle” but not with, say, “arm” or “spleen” is because testicles are disproportionately more vital to your reproductive success than these other body parts are. I, for one, had to pause to cover myself just by typing those former words together. It’s not that those other body parts aren’t adaptively important, but variation in pain sensitivity across different bodily regions, according to this view, reflects the vulnerability and importance different adaptations play in your reproductive success. Male ancestors who learned to protect their gonads would have left more descendants--and pain is a pretty good motivator for promoting preemptive defensive action. Or, to think about it another way, any male in the ancestral past that was oblivious to or, gulp, enjoyed testicular insult would have been quickly weeded out of the gene pool.<br />
 Additionally, argues Gallup, the cremasteric muscle flexes in response to threatening stimuli, in effect pulling the testicles up closer to the body and out of harm’s way. In fact, the authors point out, Japanese physicians have been known to apply a pin prick to the inner thigh of male patients as a surgical prep: if the patient displays no cremasteric reflex, this means the spinal anesthesia has kicked in and he’s ready to go under the knife. Other evidence suggests that fear and the threat of danger trigger the cremasteric reflex. I suspect there are any number of ways to test this at home, if you’re so inclined. Just make sure the owner of the fearfully reflexive testicles knows what you’re up to before frightening him.<br />
 So, there you have it. A new, evolutionarily informed account of the natural origins of descended scrotal testicles in humans. What do you think of Gallup's seminal theory? Is the whole thing nuts? Don't leave me hanging, folks. Ball’s in your court. <i>ba dum ching!</i><br />

Seperating hydrogen from water on any significant scale would take a nuclear power plant for an energy source. 
 
Now, please explain why it would take a nuclear power plant to create hydrogen power? That is just not so. I have created hydrogen in my back yard.

<div>Hi I'm not yet sure what chemical castration and feminization will do to me so I thought that I will start on a very low dose of estrogen to see if I like it or not.<br />
<br />
I'm in my early twenties and not very masculine little beard growth etc.<br />
<br />
Do you think this is a good idea or would it be smarter to start out on an average dose of estrogens <u>and</u> anti-androgens so that the effects appear faster and I have to swallow lesser pills to achieve my goals?<br />
<br />
Or is it possible to feminize just with estrogen so that the libido and potence is not effected as hard as with anti-andorgens?<br />
<br />
In the sticky-thread there is mentioned that to feminize one have to take 2-8mg Estrofem daily but I don't if this intends to add a testosterne-blocker also?<br />

2-8mg of Estrofem sublingualy as tolerated by your liver<br />
Oral estrogens can cause significantly more hepatic and cardiac impairment than injected, and is only recommended if shots can not be tolerated weekly.

Since inhouse-pharmacy is not shipping to germany I would like to ask if you have any suggestions where to buy hormones over the net in germany.<br />
<br />
I have already read that phytoestrogens are not very potent but could they be an option in my situation? (slight/slow feminization for starters)<br />
<br />
In the forum of myevanesce are numerous posts that indicate that these herbal products work almost like real hormones. Do you think that these are fake?<br />

<div>Can you believe, she wrote a book bashing the McCain people for mishandling her last year. sigh, and some say she is running for president in 2012, all democrats hope she does. <br />
<br />
She proves once again that she is not ready for prime time, this is not bo-dunk Alaska, she further pushed herself to the right by stating she is a creationist, that she was not a descendent of a fish.<br />
<br />
She just doesn't get it, you almost feel sorry for her, almost. She has the ability to have some a small number that think she is right on, but at the same time she pisses of a lot more who think she is a looser.<br />
<br />
Her daughters ex boyfriend father of the baby did a spread in Play Girl this week, and he is not happy with Sarah either. <br />
<br />
This book will not help her cause to get elected to anything and now most people in a new poll said about 2 to 1 that she is not qualified to be president. <br />
<br />
Poor Sarah, she will do something the Democrats have been trying to do for years, bury the Republican party.<br />
<br />
OK, all you Republican tell me why Sarah is such a winner, show your work there will be a test. And please don't think I am just bashing a republican, or Sarah, she does not need my help she is doing OK all by herself.<br />
<br />
You know, I have always liked John McCain, I still do, I think he is one outstanding American, he took a chance, he need a boost, he picked Sarah, he lost, life goes on.<br />
I am not sure that he did her any favors. <br />
<br />
OK, comments if you dare.<br />

<br />
Now this will bring tears to your eyes. Watch as unintentionally the attacking player swings full force to make contact with the football only to find that the ball has in fact long gone and has been replaced by an entirely different set of objects. The pace and power with which the striker kicks the poor defender is such that the person doing the kicking is in agony also but not surely in the same league of discomfort as the recently created eunuch!<br />

<div>Plastic chemicals 'feminise boys' <br />
                                                                                   <font style="font-weight:bold">                              Chemicals in plastics alter the brains of baby boys making them &quot;more feminine&quot;, say US researchers.                              </font>                              <br />
 Males exposed to high doses in the womb went on to be less likely to play with boys' toys like cars or to join in rough and tumble games, they found. <br />
 The University of Rochester team's latest work adds to concerns about the safety of phthalates, found in vinyl flooring and PVC shower curtains. <br />
                              The findings are reported in the International Journal of Andrology.                                                    <br />
                                                        <font style="font-weight:bold">                              Plastic furniture                              </font>                              <br />
                              Phthalates have the ability to disrupt hormones, and have been banned in toys in the EU for some years.                               <br />
                              However, they are still widely used in many different household items, including plastic furniture and packaging.                               <br />
                              There are many different types and some mimic the female hormone oestrogen.                          <br />
<br />
                                                                       &#8220;                              <font style="font-weight:bold">                              This feminising capacity of phthalates makes them true 'gender benders'                              </font>                              &#8221;                              <br />
                             Elizabeth Salter-Green, director of CHEM Trust                                                   <br />
                                                                   The same researchers have already shown that this can mean boys are born with genital abnormalities.                               <br />
 Now they say certain phthalates also impact on the developing brain, by knocking out the action of the male hormone testosterone. <br />
                              Dr Shanna Swan and her team tested urine samples from mothers over midway through pregnancy for traces of phthalates.                               <br />
 The women, who gave birth to 74 boys and 71 girls, were followed up when their children were aged four to seven and asked about the toys the youngsters played with and the games they enjoyed. <br />
                              <font style="font-weight:bold">                              Girls' play                              </font>                              <br />
                              They found that two phthalates DEHP and DBP can affect play behaviour.                               <br />
 Boys exposed to high levels of these in the womb were less likely than other boys to play with cars, trains and guns or engage in &quot;rougher&quot; games like playfighting. <br />
<br />
                                                                                                                PHTHALATES                                     <br />
                                                There are many different types and the most commonly used are deemed entirely safe by regulators                                                 DEHP - used to make PVC soft and pliable and used in products like flooring                                                DBP - used as a plasticiser in glues, dyes and textiles                                                   <br />
                                                                   Elizabeth Salter-Green, director of the chemicals campaign group CHEM Trust, said the results were worrying.                               <br />
 &quot;We now know that phthalates, to which we are all constantly exposed, are extremely worrying from a health perspective, leading to disruption of male reproduction health and, it appears, male behaviour too. <br />
                              &quot;This feminising capacity of phthalates makes them true 'gender benders'.&quot;                               <br />
 She acknowledged that the boys who have been studied were still young, but she said reduced masculine play at this age might lead to other feminised developments in later life. <br />
 But Tim Edgar, of the European Council for Plasticisers and Intermediates, said: &quot;We need to get some scientific experts to look at this study in more detail before we can make a proper judgement.&quot; <br />
 He said there were many different phthalates in use and the study concerned two of the less commonly used types that were on the EU candidate list as potentially hazardous and needing authorisation for use. <br />
                              DBP has been banned from use in cosmetics, such as nail varnish, since 2005 in the EU.                           <br />

<div>Hello everyone. I'm a new here. Just wanted a place where I can share my story and my frustration. And yeah, I do have one question too.<br />
<br />
Well, I'm gonna talk with my therapist about chemical castration when I see her next thursday. I have been thinking about this for a long time now and I finally decided to try and see if the doctors would be understanding enough to help me with this.<br />
<br />
The frustrating part is, now that I've finally decided to try, it's gonna be about two months before I can even get doctor's appointment. And when I finally am able to see the doctor, it's gonna be even longer before it's all set and I will finally be able to start the &quot;procedure&quot;. And all that is if the doctor will be understanding enough.<br />
<br />
So I guess it helps to talk with the therapist, in the meantime. Does it feel like helpful? I guess not, I feel that I've thinked about this so much that I am dedicated to start the process - so it feels like I just have to convince first my therapist that I am serious and that I need it, and after that my doctor too. Gosh, I really wish I could turn the time forward a few months.<br />
<br />
Well, that's about that, I guess. Just wanted a place to vent my frustration. But I do have a question. I guess I can suggest the doctor what kind of mecdication I have been thinking of. And it seems like the two main choices are Depo Provera and Androcur. Has anyone ever tried both, or is there any medical experiments done as to indicate just how much more effective Depo Provera is (I am correct that DP is more effective, am I not?)<br />
I've tried to look for the information in the forum, but I didn't find any threads that would give a satisfactory answer. So it's either that I was too stupid to search for the right things, or then I was too lazy to read enough search results. Either way, I hope someone could answer me.<br />
<br />
So yeah, comments answers to my questions, anything that might be the least bit helpful, is highly appreciated.</div>
