I think there's more to it than the testicles, they essentially just produce testosterone... many sex offenders who undergo chemical castration or *grimaces* the real thing go on to repeat their crimes.

Making it pointless?

I think only your balls are removed to prevent you from losing the high pitch voice you lose during peuberty. In the movie they are actually "tag teaming" girls. ??

Yes. This is weird because me and my girlfriend were just talking about Castrati a few hours ago. Just because the testicles are removed, doesn't mean that the penis cannot achieve erection. AFAIK, Farinelli had a great sex life.

My understanding is that the ladies were rather fond of the castrati because they had built-in birth control, so to speak.

Of fvcking course.

Being a castrate means you will never reach puberty, so many of the masculine features will not appear (limited testosterone production, by supplementing it with testosterone you can have the same results as having a set, it is actually quite possible for a 40 year old woman to reach male puberty by supplementing testosterone and part of the reason for pregnant womens mood (i have three kids, this is real) as they produce nandrolone (nor-testosterone, brand name deca-durabolin)) but the nerve endings are there before puberty, so your question is stupid.

Can a pre pubescent boy have an erection? There is your answer.
