Q: Want to Decommision My Penis

Does anyone know the name of the medical procedure to render the penis sexually useless?

Essentially it would mean the removal of sensation in the nerves of the penis so as to prevent erection and prevent orgasm. It would still be there to pass urine, but nothing else.

Also,
* what's involved (eg. Time in clinic/surgery)
* any follow-on drugs?
* any physical side-effects (drowsiness etc)
* any psychological side-effects (eg., increases propensity for violence, frustration etc) - case studies may help this.

I know this run against 99.9% of the population who are striving for a better sex life - just thinking about not having one at all. Ok, I know this would guarantee a life of celibacy - maybe that’s not so bad!

Thanks -meo

Titan - usual response - thanks.

Don't think of it as a gift nor the only gift with life.

For the record - I have had good sex and bad sex...Most good.

But on the whole I just don't enjoy it and find it more trouble than it's worth. A whole vortex of emotions that I can do without if you are in a relationship. One-night-stands? Forget it! And going gay - no way!

The whole idea of 'pretty women' and this natural attraction I have as a male to be an incredible drain on me! I've got a million more things to worry about than women, relationship and growing old while someone nags me about my faults for 30yrs ago.

Then there's the thought of me at 60 gawking at 20yr olds - it just gets worse.

If you want a relationship - fine - but huge costs emotionally, financially etc.

Just want to curtail the attraction / need for intimacy / need for sex.

And i'm starting with this damn meat-and-two-veg!

So back to the question - procedural name and any know side effects?

Thanks - meo

Castration is the removal of the testicles or ovaries; sterilization.

I'm asking to keep the testicles there, just remove the sensation - different process.

Thansk- meo

Lil,

that is driven by deep rooted sociopathic behaviour - and your right, it's that level of psychosis is not what I am looking for here.


No this is more the ramifications of elective surgery. Only thing I can compare to would be a healthy woman who - for livestyle reasons - have an elective hysterectomy.


Livestyle choice is the key word here - not raving nutcase :-)


cheers - meo

What if you find a long term relationship, to someone who you fall deeply in love with, and you can't have and erection, or intercourse?
I hope you don't plan on finding a loving relationship if you did decide to go through with this.
And how about just ignoring you're erection and sensations when it is neccessary to do so, just like every other guy.
Maybe I am stating the obvious (or what seems obvious to me, and i'm sure to many other people - male or female) that taking away all your sexual feelings is due to have psychological effects. The sexual feelings you have do not only occur in the genitals, it is something you feel over your whole body, directed by your brain. Sure you won't feel anything in your penis, but you sure are going to have sexual thoughts, and when everything doesn't link up, i'm sure you'll be quite confused and frustrated. As to why anyone would want to take away the pleasure of sexual arousal and orgasm is inconcievable to most. Maybe there is an underlying cause as to why you don't want sex anymore. Perhaps your are lonely, depressed,pessimistic or apathetic or have taken a different religious direction in life. Maybe it is permanent, but there could be a chance that it is only a temporary phase you are going through.

I would certainly see a psychologist before going through with this procedure. I could imagine that it is required for the most part, as there are certain requirments to getting sex changes, or doing any sort of major work to your genitals.

However to answer your question, I don't believe there is a procedure to do so. I'm sure you are probably very interested in this, and have tried to look up information, and have found none. There is no procedure that can just "shut off" the thousands of nerve endings in your penis, or close the vessels which engorge your penis with blood and cause an erection. The penis actually needs to have erections to keep the tissue healthy. Even if it were desensitzed, i'm sure you would still need to have erections some how. The only other way could be in forms of penile mutilation, which I wouldnt suggest, because you don't know how much harm you could be doing. Have you thought about having your penis removed as well as castration? That's the closest thing I could think of that would prevent you from feeling any sexual pleasure. If you are wanting to live a life of celibacy, you should just have your full testicles and penis removed to get rid sexual sensation. Again to have this procedure done, it's hard to get approved by any doctor. They would most likely send you to a psychologist to find out why you want this done, and whether or not you are an approprite candidate.. Like the truckstop guy mentioned in the other post, I dont think this should be a quick fix for any of the issues you may have with sex, emotions etc. I think what you need to work on more is your self control. Don't let your penis control your actions and how you think and feel.

Meo, no one can just "have" a hystorectomy. There has to be health complications for many many years, before a doctor will go to that point, so I doubt that you'll find a doctor to do this to you.
You'll just have to "live" with what god gave you and deal with it the best that you can.

As a psychiatrist, I think you are overreacting to a minor problem. Have you consulted a psychiatrist or psychologist? My suggestion is rather than exploring physical problems to render your sexual equipment null and void, why don't you just consciously elect to ignore your sexual urges the best you can and focus on other parts of your life. Stop having sex, stop masturbating, and in time, you'll grow more accustomed to not using it. This is especially true if you're older. Don't take the drastic step of undergoing a penectomy or other procedure to render the penis dysfunctional.

Besides the fact I think you're completely nuts for wanting to do that anyway, it's extremely difficult (and expensive) to cut off all nerve endings in the penis. And don't forget, erections can be caused by visual stimulation alone. The only way to stop that would be to restrict the flow of blood into the penis, but that in itself could be damaging, as you'd have a hell of a lot of blood trying to flow through a tiny opening. Basically, I don't think it can be done. If you have no inclination for sex or anything like that though, you shouldn't get erections in the first place.

See a Theropist
So you can figure out where this self hatred is comming from,and if in fact you don't have a deep psychosis that your most likely in denile about.
If in fact there's nothing wrong with your chemicals,which lots of things can be goin on that your unaware of or repressing.
Take a voew of celebitcy and follow through for 5-10 years,then contemplate.The horrif act of geneital mutilation.
Which i'm betting the only doctor that would have anything to do with that would be in a third world.Good luck with the self control. :roll:

Castration?
The closes thing to what you want is castration. The testes make testosterone. The reduction of testosterone reduces or (in some) completely eliminates the sex drive and capacity for orgasm.

If you don't want a sex life why do you want to keep your testes? Do you want kids?

Many Antidepressants (like Paxil) could reduce the sex drive.

Numbing the penis would not reduce the sex drive, it would be VERY frustrating. (There is a heartbreaking story on the internet about a guy who lost his penis in a motorcycle accident). The surgry to do it would be complicated, and create the risk that you would injur the penis and not notice. I don't think anyone skilled enough to do it has ever bothered to figure out a way to do it.

I am the complete opposite of this man.

I have next to no sex drive. I want to enjoy sex and masturbation. I want to feel pleasure and arousal. I want the fulfilling life that I deserve.

But I can't because I have no pleasure from anything sexual (except orgasm). And because of this, like a vicious circle, I feel disassociated, uninterested in trying - for another disappointment.

I am seeing a sextherapist soon to help me with this. I am wondering whether to break up with my girlfriend. I have tried everything from masturbation focusing on the foreskin, frenulum, to prostate stimulation, to Chinese tonic and gingseng, to foreplay, to Zane Blue's orgasmic diet.

I just seem desexualized. It causes me heartache, depression, suicidal feelings, anxiety and obsession.

I'm 26. On no meds. Had a depressing teenhood, but I should still be able to experience some pleasure at least.

This guy doesn't know what he has, and is throwing away.
