Hi Plaster_Dom,
Thanks for your question. Yes, men can be chemically "castrated." There are several options - including Depo Provera and tamoxifen. You should know that for male castration, large doses are required - and there are side effects. The side effects may include heightening of blood pressure, weight gain, fatigue, depression, and hypertension. I'm not a doctor, so you should check with one before trying any of these chemicals.
Chemical castration has been popular in the news because of legislation experimenting with punishing sex offenders with mandatory chemical castration. At least six states have toyed with this idea.
For more information, see:

Good luck!

I have been on Depo for ten years and it works. My T levels are about 100 which is pre-pubescence.
I have no desire to return. The treatment is inexpensive and you can inject yourself.
However, it must be ordered from overseas as it's difficult to find a doctor to prescribe it.

I would think it might be a complex medical situation that you would have to have 'permission' to go through with.
