". . .my sexual urges. . ." You're scaring me.
I'm not a doctor, but DSM II through V may give you a prognosis, and society's views on your problem as those views evolved over these several editions.
Evidently your symptoms are ego-dystonic, which speaks well for change.
Avoid slippery slopes. With drugs, look for irreversible side effects (that may not show up for years).
Good luck.
Booo! I'm the monster under your bed!
Haha. I don't think I'm any one of those. I don't think I'm sexually deviant, just keen to prioritise for now.
Considering castration seems to indicate that you believe you are the monster, under the bed or wherever.
This may be a reasonable viewpoint for you or for others, or you may view sexual urges of any kind as deviant.
Get other opinions. For the outlying opinions, visit Provincetown, MA [either in person or virtually].
Good luck with what you are struggling with.
I don't think that he wanted to be castrated for the sake of other people, but for his own sake. Maybe the "urges" are distracting and useless. I sympathize, but castration has too big side effects for me to use it.
It's a New England touristy small town :-/
Even the Castro district in San Fran would offer better "outlying opinions" :-D
