You mentioned a couple of points in your intro...
QuoteHe has taken me off of the male hormones for the next several months.
I'm not clear on this as I'm obviously do not know your situation, but wouldn't you have been on female hormones to help rid you of the
Quoteheavy heavy sexual thinking and drive that hindures my peace and serenity
doesn't taking male hormones in your case defeat the purpose of castration?

Anyway, again welcome to Susan's and don't be afraid to take part in the forums, and start some new topics yourself.
