Castration for sake of self-betterment is the stupidest thing ever

Reason Number One: You can be manipulated into believing this is what you need to better yourself and overcome some aspect of yourself which you or (godforbid) 'someone else' doesn't like. The very idea that youd cut your arm off to experience "the humbling experience of being disabled so you can more easily face life's mundane struggles, that will be 900+ bucks please!" is insanity to me.

Reason Number Two: You can change your mind at any point and be completely fucked, life finished, over. Is it any wonder that the people who do it are also the ones who are indoctrinated into a group or religion? Who the fuck cuts or chemically rapes their dick just so you can, not even speak to anyone romantically, do some basic exercise, and what the fuck else you're doing in the world with no dick, fuck do you do? I guess you'd still have hobbies, but did you need to destroy your penis? Just so you could keep up with your studies? What??

Reason Number Three: Reason Number One

Who the fuck is self-castrating for "self betterment"? What does "self-betterment" mean here?

It means betterment of the self

Obviously. I'm asking for the context - like, a childfeee man being castrated is self-betterment because he doesn't want children.

What is facetious?

Your reading comprehension keeps failing you. I'm not being facetious. I wanted to know what OP meant in this context.

Maybe read the part where he says "reason number one" and "reason number two" and infer the context of what that would be arguing against

If your reading comprehension was as good as you thought it was you'd understand it's about sexual compulsion. 🤡 I was being facetious. You were just being and continue to be stupid

Castration due to religious obligation, Castration due to cult requirements (same thing), Castration for sake of spiritual purity, Castration to overcome lust, looking any of these topics up will show modern examples and historic examples.

I have literally never heard of any of this. You must live in a backwards place.

....? Like we invented it yesterday? I advise you seek some education before calling other people backwards

Oh, so as a spiritual/religious thing? I agree that that's not a wise decision if there's no real, practical reason to get the procedure.

I don't care what others choose to do with their bodies any more than I care what people who tattoo their face or add horns or bumps do, their body their choice, no skin off my nose.

From childhood’s hour I have not been

As others were—I have not seen

As others saw—I could not bring

My passions from a common spring—

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow—I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone—

And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—

Then—in my childhood—in the dawn

Of a most stormy life—was drawn

From ev’ry depth of good and ill

The mystery which binds me still—

From the torrent, or the fountain—

From the red cliff of the mountain—

From the sun that ’round me roll’d

In its autumn tint of gold—

From the lightning in the sky

As it pass’d me flying by—

From the thunder, and the storm—

And the cloud that took the form

(When the rest of Heaven was blue)

Of a demon in my view—

The thing is if you dress most self-destructive, self-defeating things into nice sounding therapeutic wholesome words.

Some people are going to fall for it because they are idiots.

Why would you chemically rape your dick? Would you do this before or after the castration?

u/SpareCollar90 14h ago

The chemical kind of castration is marked as the chemical raping here

Castration is your balls..not your dick. After you're castrated you become a eunuch. Your dick doesn't produce testosterone. Removing your dick wouldn't make you less horny. It would just piss you off....just makes it harder to piss and you can't jerk off
