Family of mine got a boy who are about 19 and his hormones is reacting to girls. They ask for advice and one doctor suggest to cut out his balls and the other doctor want to give pills for about R4000 per month. Does anyone have advise or knowledge about this.
 
Chemical castration can be achieved with medication called cyproterone acetate.
Not sure the monthly cost though.

Physical castrations may be cheaper in the longrun but is quite extreme.

Cheapest option is below

I know someone(woman) and their brother was like that.
He had tablet(s) to take.
One day he got into trouble with a girl. He was nearing 40 and he picked a reluctant 16 year old girl.

Further investigations revealed that while he was handed the tablet(s) daily he hid them instead of drinking them for a month.

Fortunately for the reluctant girl they got discovered just before he penetrated her.

In the end the woman(I know her) and her family had a few meetings with various doctors.
Castration might seem harsh(they left the ball bags so he still looked like he did before), but it is the one way they can be assured his hormones will remain under control. After that he did not attempt such things again, and there was no need for tablets which he could hide, instead of drink.
 
Nice story.
Did they add some weight to the empty sacks?
Like some sort of prosthetic nuts?

Also what’s a “reluctant 16 year old” actually mean?

They actually add fake testicles now. Not sure about the older days.
 
Down Syndrome South Africa

What about marriage and sexual relationships for our child?

There are many misconceptions about the sexuality of people with intellectual
disability. In general, people with intellectual disability have the same feelings
as you and I, but they need guidance in expressing their sexuality. A young
women with Down syndrome is fertile and there is the possibility that she
could have children. However, the intellectual disability means that she will
not be able to care responsibly for the infant, and there is also the likelihood
that the baby will also have Down syndrome. Her caregivers will recognise the
time when she need to have counselling and guidance for this, and appropriate
birth control measures must be provided.

Most women with Down syndrome are therefore given the option of some
sort of birth control. Intrusive surgical methods such as a sterilisation and
hysterectomy need not be an option. According to the Sterilisation Act, these
procedures can only be done once the person with the disability is 18 years or
older, for medical and life threatening reasons and always with the consent of
the person with the disability.

Research has shown that men with Down syndrome have a low sperm count.
However, there have been more than one recorded instance of men with
Down syndrome having fathered a child.

Through understanding and sympathetic counselling young people with
Down syndrome can learn to understand their own sexual development and
enjoy meaningful relationships with the opposite sex. For some individuals
marriage can be a realistic goal and certainly a right. Sharing one’s life with
another person in a loving relationship or enjoying a deep, caring friendship
are needs which must be recognised and respected. A flexible and understanding
approach on the part of families will help young adults with Down
syndrome to live their adult life in such a way that they achieve maximum
independence with dignity.

Yes , they also must see a doctor and some team to discuss the whole issue and get permission from the state for a op.
 
Doesn't chemical castration render the patient unable to have sex? Sounds a bit cruel. Why not just give him the regular snip?

Can't they chemically castrate most of the males in SA?

Do it at birth... who would know?
 
What you guys aren't realising is that people with disabilities have less impulse control than other people. It is a problem across a wide range of behaviours - not just with their sexual impulses. They can be violent, act out, self-harm, damage property, set things alight, just to name a few. It is also beyond the control of the individual, so it isn't just a matter of teaching them self-control until they 'get it', it is a function of their disability and can't be controlled. So when it comes to controlling sexual behaviour there isn't always an alternative solution - the person can be non-compliant and oppositional when it comes to taking daily medications, and/or just not understand why they need the medication which leads to non-compliance.

This is why physical sterilization is sometimes the best option but it has to be done with respect to the person's dignity and well-being. It used to be done involuntarily as a routine and compulsory procedure, but as there were a number of people who were misdiagnosed as mentally disabled who were forcefully also deprived of their reproductive rights there has been a change in thinking and it is now done either voluntarily at the request of, or with the permission of the disabled person, or if the disabled person is cognitively unable to give consent, then after a panel of doctors and caregivers assess the situation.

Exactly.

The guy I mentioned before was 40 when I was 18/19.
Downs people also have great physical strenght as a side effect of the Downs. Making it very difficult to restrain them or fend them off.
Not sure what happened to that guy, last time I saw his sister he still lived with her. That was a few years ago
 
Op, nice username. :)

Hope this helps:

1. What animal are we talking about?
2. Isn't it dangerous to let a mentally challenged animal mate? I remember when I watched There's Something About Mary and the one guy touched the mentally challenged guy behind his ears - he became a rugby player in one second going bos. It's like foreplay to foul play in a split second, they often very strong so there is a real threat.
3. Is it not possible to teach him to masturbate? Tissues are much cheaper than R4k/month?
4. If this is a human we're talking about how do you know he identifies as a male? Did you ask him?
5. You can always try vaping, supposedly it has such high levels of estrogen it makes many humans that have male parts very feminine in behaviour. There was a study in the UK where it increased chances of erectile dysfunction.
6. There are a few places that offer an 'unloading service' which is similar to milking. They are mostly found in dodgy CBD areas unfortunately.
