What are the immediate effects of castration? You see, I'm toying around with having one of the people in a short story do that to someone else (chemically, in a SF story, using a special "targeted killer cell"), but need to know how quickly the body would react/what the reaction would be.
Thanks!

Didn't they castrate singers so they'd keep their high-pitched voices?
LOL
Actually that din't happen AFTER, only before. Nowadays people get "clipped" with no effect at all. I don't think any form of chemical castration post-puberty would have any effect at all (except reproduction-wise) There would be little difference between castration and "clipping". Once the hormones have done their duty at purberty, you're set as you are.

Physical reactions, I'm not sure of.
But emotionally, the guy would be really hurt. The guy might need serious phychology or go crazy and want revenge.

I recalled a group that I had stumbled onto years before on the 'net and sure 'nuff, I was able to locate their website again.
Eunich.org's message board has a few threads you might check out, on the effects of castration. These are a group of folk that have (mostly) voluntarily undergone castration, so if anyone would know, these people would!
