Long story short I have never been successful in dating in any shape or form and it’s starting to really affect my everyday life. I have been in therapy for over 7 years (recently quit) to no avail. I am already on antidepressants which thankfully dampens my libido a bit but I now I want it all the way gone.

So anyway, should I tell my family about this? Nothing will really change if I do, but a part of me is telling they ought to know, you know? But I am not sure if I want to.

Edit: I have decided I am not going to tell them.

    That sounds like a permanent solution to what could very well be a temporary problem. And castrated or not, you’ll still be you. If you’re horny and unhappy, I suspect you’d just end up not horny and still unhappy.

    EDIT: And I just realized how apt the name “Throwaway Salami” is for someone considering this.

      Well I don’t want kids and I’m pretty sure I’m aromantic (not to be confused with asexual). So either way the damage is marginal.

      Edit: Okay you’ve edited your original comment quite a bit. I dunno no horniness, means no sexual desires, means no distractions means more focus on doing the things I like.
