Why Some Men Are Silent During Sex
Dating
This begs a very interesting question: Why would a non-sex offender with a perfectly functional penis and their whole life ahead of them gleefully choose to neuter themselves? We’re Not Worthy
There are many reasons a man who isn’t a dangerous sex offender might want to chemically castrate himself. In some cases, a health problem like prostate cancer or frequent and uncontrollable boners makes drugs that block testosterone a medical necessity. In others, the desire stems from gender dysphoria or the desire to transition from male to female (testosterone-reducing drugs are frequently used for this purpose, with chemical castration being a common — and often relieving — side effect). 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.
