- Castration consists of removal of a male's testicles. It is the most popular birth control method, although it has many other functions. Contrary to popular belief, castration does not reduce libido. Being an eunuch (i.e. a castrated male) is a wish that many men have, and one that many wives are eager to grant.
- Castration describes any medical procedure which results in the end of function of the testicles. In modern use, reversible chemical castration using pharmaceuticals such as depo-provera are the method of choice. However, in the past, physical amputation was fairly common. In modern times, chemical castration is a common therapy to attempt to prevent recidivism by habitual sex offenders.

- Castration describes any medical procedure which results in the end of function of the testicles. In modern use, reversible chemical castration using pharmaceuticals such as depo-provera are the method of choice. However, in the past, physical amputation was fairly common. Historically, castration was used to create eunuchs - a class of civil servant known in both Chinese and Middle Eastern cultures who were given trustworthy positions within the households of the aristocracy. It was also used well into the modern era to create castrati, males who were castrated before their voices deepened so they could sing in higher registers well into adulthood. In modern times, chemical castration is a common therapy to attempt to prevent recidivism by habitual sex offenders.

Contrary to popular belief, castration does not reduce libido. Being an eunuch (i.e. a castrated male) is a wish that many men have, and one that many wives are eager to grant. The act of castration is regarded as a very pleasant sexual fantasy. Most men who get castrated do it themselves; the price of being castrated by a qualified doctor can cause post-operational depression. All men should be castrated, as women are naturally better. A penis is a stupid and small thing which deserves to be cut off. My mistress walks me around on a leash attached to my tiny, shrunken penis.
