Discussion Genital nullification opinions?

[-L-]

Posted originally to the chat, but felt it would be better in a thread as this may be a bit too much for a chat discussion.

Genital nullification "nullo" surgery. Removal of one's genitals, just leaving a urethral opening to urinate through.It's something I really want personally. To have the anatomy of a doll and never have sex again or feel any sort of stimulation in that area.

I know part of the reason I consider this stems from personal trauma, another reason being that I can't conceive children due to health problems, making that area worthless in my eyes.


I have done therapy for years regarding trauma and issues pertaining to this, although never coming out and directly saying anything about physical nullification to any therapist or psychiatrist.

Maybe I'm insane. Maybe this thought process is insane.. However it seems relevant to add that it seems like the trans types seem to get free reign to dice up their genitals for their perceived mental dysphoria.. So is this any different? Is this just another form of dysphoria / body dysmorphia? Where do you draw the line with making surgical and body modifications for psychologically motivated reasons?

Help me, please. I need to bounce this off other people. Would nullification be acceptable? Or is this an all round terrible idea?

If anyone out there struggles with anything similar, how do you cope with it?
How should I cope?
It really does trouble me, and has for a long time.

Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to be honest. Regardless of the patient's outlook, it's deeply unethical for a provider to do. It's unnecessary and medically risky mutilation.

I understand your pain though. I don't judge your desire. I use starvation to decrease my libido and I wish I could physically rip all that out too. We are mentally struggling though. The provider would be following along with our mental disturbance.

I have less than pc opinions on medical intervention in trans cases too, so. I'll keep that to myself respectfully.

I remember when I was younger I wanted the same thing, and yes it was also due to trauma. I just wished I didn't have the body I had because of how people perceived me for it. I was always afraid.

However, genital and sex organ removal can be dangerous because the sex organs produce hormones that are necessary for regulating the body. For example, women usually only get recommended full hysterectomies due to uterine cancer. Even after the surgery, they need medication to replace the missing hormones. Full hysterectomies almost always result in hormone imbalances and decreased quality of life if not regularly treated.

If you have trauma related to your body, you might want to consider other things you can change that don't involve full removal of the sex organs. For example, having some form of birth control if your trauma / anxiety is related to reproduction.
