4.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all. A good review of pros & cons, December 12, 2006
This review is from: Castration: The Advantages and the Disadvantages (Paperback)
There are many reasons and concerns one would have before one would undergo castration. The decision is irreversable. To ignore the disadvantages of the procedure would be unwise. I consider the book to be a thoughtful expose which effectively laid out the pros and cons.

I made a thoughtful and informed decision to proceed and had my testes surgically removed in a hospital by a skilled surgeon. That was 10 months

ago. No regrets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a self help book I can use!, September 4, 2010
By 
This review is from: Castration: The Advantages and the Disadvantages (Paperback)
Ever since I hit puberty I've been annoyed by the two fleshy appendages that dangle between my legs. They're always getting in the way, they're itchy, smelly, and not particularly pleasant to look at (at least that's what my neighbors said in the police report). I've been burdened by these things all of my life, and now there is finally an author with the ball...guts to write about a solution.

I'm not sure why the author focuses the benefits mostly to sex offenders. Why should they be the only ones relieved of the nuisance of a nut-sack? They're criminals! They already get all the free food, clothing, shelter, and companionship they want, and now the author proposes that they get a free castration??? Am I the only one jealous of this fact?

Further, although author lists a slew of reasons for the slicing and dicing, he mistakenly puts a few advantages in the "disadvantage" category. He states that gynecomastia is a disadvantage. How can having your own personal pair of breasts to play with be a disadvantage? That's just silly. He also states that soft musculature is a disadvantage - since when do women like hard bodied men? I watched King of Queens, According to Jim, and Family Guy, three shows where heavyset soft bodied men are married to hot chicks.

Plus he doesn't even mention that you won't have to worry about an unintended pregnancy once you've been castrated!

That said, I have to applaud the author for bringing this subject to light. I will finally be able to buy a pair of skinny jeans and not worry about the unsightly bulge caused by my preposterous package.

5.0 out of 5 stars love the author, January 20, 2010
This review is from: Castration: The Advantages and the Disadvantages (Paperback)
It is obvious that the author has spent many years of research by his writings. In my opinion this book should be available in college's around the world for students to have access to it. Also, in all state and local prisons to bring awareness and educate all convicted sex offenders who may be considering this kind of treatment which is in my opinion and as the author says 'the only sure fix'. The laws will never force any one to do this but a convicted sex offender may voluntarily have this treatment and I would hope that someone would consider having this treatment before they even commit a crime. It is my belief that there is a solution to every problem without committing a crime, one just has to search for the answer. There are so many books and so much information out there today on the internet there is really no excuse for it. I am so glad for someone like Victor T Cheney who is passionate about getting the word out and writing this book.
