Emasculation

Surgery and Medical Procedures

Emasculation is the removal of the external male sex organs, including the penis and scrotum. It differs from castration, which removes only the testicles, and may have more extensive medical consequences because of complications from penile removal. It may occur for religious, cultural, punitive, or personal reasons. The term can also refer metaphorically to a perceived loss of masculine attributes such as strength, power, or autonomy.

Definition: Removal of the external male sex organs
Distinct from: Castration
Metaphorical use: Perceived loss of traditionally masculine attributes
