Get Castrated and live longer?

[PizzaSHARK]

Hmm. It's tempting in a sense.

[Stir]

Correlation =/= causality.
The eunuchs might have lived longer because they didn't need to worry about relationships, didn't need to worry about supporting a (or getting) a family, eunuchs generally don't do heavy physical labour...
Anyway; the sample size of eunuchs versus non-eunuchs is incredibly small, which skews things even more.

But losing my fertility in favour of a longer life... Well; if some surgery and hormone treatment would come with that (all for free) to ensure I could have a relatively normal sex-life regardless (as any sex, really), I wouldn't mind losing my gonads. Children aren't in the planning. But sex isn't something I'd give up, either. So an alternative must be presented.
And I don't suppose hormonal replacement therapy would count for the whole 'eunuch'-deal, so that means I'm out.

*eyes the study*

Have they correlated these results with the number of deaths from Syphilis and other sexually transmitted disease amongst the Korean nobility?

That'd explain a decade-longer average lifespan quite handily.

And no, don't be absurd. Those bits exist for a reason, those hormones perform a service. I'm not ridding myself of them on the off chance I might live a little longer.

Knowing my family history I'm likely to stroke out or die of the cancer before I hit the average life expectancy anyway.

I would do it if I was married, and had all the kids my spouse and I wanted.

[Ciddy]

Either way I wouldn't be getting a happy ending.

I think this is the winner of the thread.

[Feardotwin]

I can't even imagine the idea some guy wanting this. It destroys his manhood. Not for all the money in the world I would consider this. referring no surgery for some other. full lifelong castration.

[LolretKJ]

Never.

Sorry I like my penis too much to chop it off to stay on this planet a few years longer.

Good news then! Castration doesn't involve the removal of the penis. Only the testicles!

It doesn't really change much to be honest. I wouldn't give them up either to live a few years longer either.

[Deleted]

No thank you, if I would loose my willie for some horrible reason I would kill myself. So I won't let my bollocks get removed for a couple of years longer... Like you would want to be 90+

[Trassk]

Funny thing is there are so many hundreds of things that could kill you early in life as it is, that getting your meat and two veg removed wouldn't make a difference anyway. suppose you had them cut off and told your live an extra ten years.. only to develop terminal brain cancer a year later, or getting hit by a van cross a road.

[Meralus II]

When my time is up my time is up, I'd rather it be with my balls and schlong still in one piece. If I drop dead tomorrow so be it, 60 years old, or I live to 90 whatever the case but I will NOT get castrated.

[Synros]

Its called "Another way to push Eugentics". Make it seem like a good thing.

[checking facts]

I'd rather die yesterday lol

[kouby]

Tipical "British science". Full of shit. Move on.

Shit, it'd almost be worth it just to not have to ever worry about doing something dumb due to chicks (or guys in your case) again.

Also, Trassk, why is the night elf the hairiest guy in your sig? I'm pretty sure elves are supposed to waxed like a Brazilian hooker.

[NatePsy]

I'll keep my parts, I don't care if it's 10 or 20 extra years, 70-80 would be hell and a struggle enough as it is, I wouldn't want to imagine how much trouble 90-100 yrs of age would be, you'd be extremely fragile and that sucks.

[Tokas]

fuck no, and what's with so much gayness in your signature op?

[PizzaSHARK]

Because he's gay? What's with you acting like that's a problem?
