Castration is often the only recourse for men suffering with advanced prostrate disease. Losing one's balls is most traumatic because so much of the male identity and self-esteem is associated with the testicles. However, as I can attest, life goes on after their removal. There is the initial depression partly due to the body not having the testosterone to which it had been accustomed. But after an acceptance of the reality, there appears a light illuminating another path to happiness. For me, it now has become a more fulfilling life than before ! Gone are the preoccupation with sexual acquisitions (and the degrading of women and myself). Rather than losing appeal to women (as feared) I have found an understanding woman with whom there is a respect and a mutually satisfying expression of love, including sex i.e., cunnilingus.
