Modern Day Eunuchs: Triumphs, Tragedies, and Transcendence

(59:11 mins in three parts)
What drives men to choose to be castrated? Dr. Richard Wassersug presents research on voluntary eunuchs, that is, males who desire to be emasculated yet do not wish to be female. He discusses what motivates these men (why, how, and where they get castrated), and the consequences of their castration on personality and social relations.
