A member asked:
If someone is removing both testicles due to cancer, will sex life remain somewhat normal with testosterone added to the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testiclar Castration: Yes. Testicles are responsible to make testosterone that produce male characteristics in men. However, testosterone in a much lesser amount is also produced from conversion of estrogen (that is secreted from ovaries in women) and also from conversion of adrenal hormones so, if we remove testicles, there will be other androgen hormones that come from adrenal glands and affect our sex-life.
