I have lowered testosterone via drugs then castration.
I'm intrigued... were there any changes you noticed that would be relevant to this community?
I can expand more. I don't think I have to detail how many men became less rational because of testosterone. Besides the distractions of the preferred sex, there are more subtle "zen-like" qualities of the state. I'll have likely more to say about the forbidden topic in regards to this state as well.
Before taking this step, had you had a mutually satisfying sexual experience with someone of your preferred gender whom you found physically attractive and for whom you cared emotionally?
ie: are you aware of the magnitude of the positive utility which you sacrificed?
What parameters did you track your rationality / calmness on?
How about bodily energy levels? - muscle mass is affected by testosterone, i have read.
How much time you were spending/using up earlier thinking about sex?
What personal goal other than becoming more rational have you achieved? - the sacrifice you have made is huge. I would've asked from the devil more than my due here.
What marginal benefit did castration give you that earlier testoterone lowering drugs did not?
Why did you do that?
To lower testosterone.
Since it's unlikely that you are employed as a harem guard or castrato, that only makes sense, but why did you find the goal of lowering testosterone sufficiently motivating to take this action?
Stop being vague and unhelpful
