This thread..wtf. There are no real health benefits to being castrated only a shit-ton of risk. If you get testicular cancer, unless it metastesises the worse scenario is you losing that ball, doesn't really make sense to chop it off early on the off chance you'll need to in future. Prostate cancer usually hits when we're old and stopped caring. Without your balls you're gonna start looking like a woman, fat is gonna get redistributed to your breasts and hips, your bone is gonna lose it's strength, your muscles will waste...and that's just the stuff that's proven. The sudden hormonal imbalance could give you psychoses, depression, insomnia, just ask menopausal women.

If you're afraid of having a sex drive there are drugs they give to sex offenders (LOLpwnt) which you could ask your doc for. Tell them you're worried you're gonna go on a rape spree/ having gender identity issues. If you wanna avoid STD's get a subscription for WoW, job done.

Does that not bother you in the least?

Even if you accept that in its entirety, you can procreate just as easily, if arguably not more easily through artificial means than natural ones.

Or is the will to reproduce exactly what makes us little more than a machine? A being with a single, programmed, tangible purpose.

That seems to be a very convoluted and round about way of saying you are either baffled by or sick of women.
Negatory. Perhaps a result of existential angst if not the interesting logical question as posed.

Castration has a lot more physiological (and psychological) side effects than a vasectomy.

Did you mean "sterilized" instead of "castrated"?
I contemplated chemical sterilization, but I wasn't sure if that killed your libido. In any case I figured I was going over the edge in making the topic anyways, might as well not half ass it.

Why should it have any more psychological side effects? Because we define our self-image by our balls?

I don't know if F to the M is being serious about this topic, and having balls is more than just about being able to have sex etc..
This is precisely my point. What else is it about?
What I love most about philosophy: it doesn't matter.
