Content: And if you’re a pre-teen with an angelic, high-pitched singing voice, taking away your testosterone will preserve its delicate, glass-shattering frequency well into adulthood. ( Michael Jackson allegedly had this done, but there’s no proof.) However, many men also seek out chemical castration for a more surprising and insidious reason: they’re dissatisfied with their sex lives. Multiple Reddit threads written by men looking for advice to chemically castrate themselves cite prolonged virginity, sexless marriages or not having an outlet or a supportive community for homosexual desires as the impetus for impotence, with the general consensus being that being horny and lusting after people is nothing more than a giant waste of time. Some men, like 23-year-old college student Allen (not his real name), take that sentiment a step further — he wants to wipe himself off the sexual map because he doesn’t feel worthy of a libido. Being a eunuch, he tells me, is what he deserves. Allen first became interested in castrating himself after reading about it online. He’d heard it turned guys into neutralized, libido-free workhorses whose lives improved in the absence of a sex drive, which was exactly what he figured he needed to forget about Jessica. Hell, it would help him forget about all women.
