    The testes are known to act as a “safe harbour” for at least 27 infectious diseases, allowing some pathogens to live in the body and infect others years after the patient has recovered.

    I’m sorry to say this, i really am, but unlimited orchiectomies on the entire world population are the only solution to this issue.

      And to many other issues as well. Men cannot be trusted with their ball privileges and should have them revoked as a precautionary measure. Women mostly do not want them and should have the option.

      Wish there was simply a way to make them switch from producing testosterone to estrogen, though.

      • Yeah, i can see the appeal of that. Although i gotta say, being fully in charge of my hormone levels is nice as well. And before my orchi, i would never have imagined that feeling the mere absence of something could feel so good and so right.

          I feel this about my hysterectomy so much. It really shouldn’t matter that much, but the relief I get from knowing it’s not there is immense! The absence of a shitty organ we never needed is so awesome and super cool! I love the cool little ways transmasc and transfem experiences are mirrors of each other

      Did you know that testes are named after the Greek hero Testicles (Pronounced Tes-ti-clese) who was renowned for his immense feats of strength involving his balls?

      Simple vasectomy should be sufficient. Only one corridor in and out of those bad boys, the vas defrens.
