As soon as Dr. Griffin returned to the examination room, I knew that the news wasn"t good. I could tell by the way he avoided my eyes as he studied his clipboard and fidgeted with his pen that something was wrong, terribly wrong with me. The ache in my groin that I had been ignoring for so long was indication enough, and as the doctor cleared his throat, I tried to prepare myself for the worst.
"The test results are positive for testicular cancer," he said abruptly. "Unfortunately, the cancer has spread into both testicles, and neither one of them can be saved. I am scheduling you for a bilateral orchiectomy tomorrow morning if the hospital can fit you in. I am very sorry, Jonathan, but there is nothing else we can do."
"Nothing else we can do." The doctor"s words haunted me as I walked out of the medical building and started towards home, knowing full well that it could all have been so easily avoided. If only I had gone in for a checkup when that little lump first appeared in one of my balls last year, I would have been able to save my manhood. Now, in less than twenty-four hours, I was going to be castrated.
I was determined to spend my last night as a man. Instead of walking back to my apartment, I turned around and began to head downtown, towards Rush Street. I would pick up the first girl I could find, pay her whatever she wanted, and screw her until my dick fell off. I wouldn"t be needing it after tomorrow.

I fumbled for the light on the nightstand and turned it on. Five o"clock. In less than two hours, I would be wheeled into an operating room, and when I woke up, I would be a eunuch.
I looked down at the girl who had given me my last night as a man. Her long black hair curled in ringalettes around her shoulders, and she gazed up at me with deep brown eyes. Without a word, she reached up for me and pulled me towards her, and once again we began making slow, exquisite love. She lowered her head and sucked on me until my weary penis became hard once again, and then she rolled over on her back and asked me to take her from behind. As I thrust myself again and again into her tight ass, tears began to roll down my cheeks and onto her back, and when I finally came for the last time, I cried out in despair.
She said nothing as I got dressed and pulled some money out of my wallet. When I tried to hand it to her, she shook her head, and handed me a card with her name and number on it. "Call me when it"s over," she said. Before I could respond, she pressed a finger to my lips. "Did you know you talk in your sleep?" she asked.
I shook my head. "What did I say?"
"You were crying about something. I thought you were talking about dying at first, but then you said something about not being able to have sex ever again."
I started to stammer something, but she cut me off. "You don"t have to tell me anything. I just want you to know that there is another way for you."
"What do you mean?"
"Just call me after it"s over. There"s a whole other world out there for you. I know from experience."
I finished dressing in a hurry and left her without another word.

It was worse than any nightmare. I remember waking up in the recovery room in a paper gown with a catheter draining my scrotum, a dull ache from where my balls used to be. When I was able to sit up and pull back the covers, I saw an empty sac and two bandages along my "bikini line." As Dr. Griffin explained it to me before I went under, the surgeon made two 4 inch incisions in my lower abdomen, pushed my balls up through my pelvic region, and out they came. A snip here, a stitch there, and I was no longer a man. I lay my head back on my pillow, and cried myself to sleep.
I was released from the hospital the following day, and spent the next week listlessly lolling around my apartment as my scars slowly healed. The pain soon subsided, and although I felt better physically than I had in months, I fell into a deep depression. Dr. Griffin had assured me that the cancer had been completely eliminated, and he told me that testosterone injections to restore my hormonal balance would begin after my follow-up examination in a few days.
Living alone, with no close friends or relatives nearby, I had been too ashamed to tell anybody about my loss. Life no longer seemed worth living. I must have been starved for human contact. But most of all, I missed myself, the man I used to be. For the hundredth time, I pulled her card out of my wallet, only this time I reached for the phone and punched in her number. She answered it on the first ring.
"Hello?"
"Is this Angela?"
"Yes, who"s this?"
"Jonathan." It occurred to me that she didn"t know my last name. "We met at Gibson"s last week. You gave me your card."
"Of course. How are you?"
"Pretty bad."
"When can I see you?" Her voice was firm, businesslike.
"I don"t know. I don"t even know why I called you." Suddenly all the feelings that I had bottled up came pouring out. She just listened as I sobbed my story to her over the phone.
"Where are you now?" she asked.
"In my apartment." I gave her the address.
"I"ll be there in half an hour," she said.
I hadn"t shaved in almost a week, although my beard was hardly noticeable. That"s what happens when you have your balls cut off, I thought morosely as I scrubbed my lean body in the shower and shampooed my long, thick hair. I was barely finished dressing when the buzzer rang.
She was as gorgeous as I remembered, tall and beautifully built, and she had an overnight bag slung over her shoulder. I asked her to sit down, and tried to think of something to say to her as I stared at her beautiful legs. She was wearing a short skirt and a white shirt tied above her navel, but I felt nothing.
"I know how you feel," she said at length.
"Do you? Do you have any idea what it"s like for a man to look at a beautiful girl, and to be dead below the waist?"
"Yes, I do."
I stared at her in shock.
"Two years ago, I was raped in prison. A men"s prison," she added.
My head was spinning. What was she? A transvestite? She couldn"t be. After all, I had made love to her five times. Oh, my God. She used to be a guy. My last night as a man, and I had spent it with a girl who used to be a guy.
"I know what you must be thinking," she said softly. "Please don"t hate me. I wouldn"t have come here if I didn"t care about you, and I think I can help you."
I was completely shattered. "Just leave me alone," I said weakly.
"When I woke up in the prison hospital, they told me what happened to me," she said with a faraway look in her eyes. "It took two of them to hold me down while the third one screwed my from behind. When I kicked him in the face and broke his nose, he went crazy and cut off my balls with a knife. I almost bled to death."
I stared at her in horror. This beautiful girl, the last woman I would ever know, had been through something like that, and now she wanted to help me. Compared to what she went through, my operation seemed like a trip to the dentist. How could I not listen to her?
"I was released from prison as soon as my stitches healed, and I tried to get my life back together. I used to work at a bank before I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar. I was trying to find a job when a public assistance lawyer called me. It turned out that the goon who did this to me was a major dealer, and he had a lot of money. They went after his assets, and I got a nice settlement. Enough to have an operation."
I sat transfixed as she went on. "I"m gay, but I never thought about becoming a woman. But once I lost my balls, the doctors told me I could make it as a chick and have a normal sex life. So I decided, what do I have to lose?"
"You"re beautiful," I blurted out. "Nobody would ever know."
"Thanks," she blushed. "And you know what? I love being a girl now. And I think you would too."
"No way," I said. "I"m not gay."
"So what? Face the facts. You got neutered, same as me. So you"re not a man any more. You"ve got two choices. You can take testosterone shots for the rest of your life and try to get it up, if your head lets you. Or you can go the other way."
"I don"t want to be a woman."
"Look at yourself. Just like me, you"re pretty, thin and short for a guy. I would never have suggested this if you didn"t have all the ingredients. We already know how you feel about spending the rest of your life without any balls. Why not find out what it feels like to be a beautiful woman? Who knows, you might just like it."
It was all so incredibly bizarre. An hour ago, I was resigned to a barren existence. Now a total stranger was opening another door, to a place which terrified me. What would people say? Yet as I looked at her, watched her move and listened to the way she talked, the whole notion somehow seemed less preposterous. "What makes you think I"d like it," I heard myself ask.
"Maybe you won"t. Why don"t we find out? I brought some things with me, in case you"d like to try. Just for fun. What do you say?"
How could I say no? After a week going stir crazy in my apartment, a beautiful girl wanted to dress me up in her clothes. Okay, so she used to be a guy. What did I have to lose? "If you want to," I said with a shrug.
With that, she stood up and opened her suitcase on the sofa. She pulled out a dress and held it up to me. "Just as I thought, we"re the same size. This is going to look cute on you." Before I could respond, she started digging through the suitcase until she found a pair of low heeled pumps. "The moment of truth," she said. "Try these on." I steadied myself on her shoulder as I tried to jam my foot into one of her shoes, but it wouldn"t quite fit. "Sit down," she ordered, and as I fell back into my chair, she produced a knee high stocking and rolled it part way up my leg. "Try it again," she said, and this time, my foot slid into her shoe without difficulty. "Success," she said. Eyeing the hair which was matted under the stocking, she ordered me into the bathroom with instructions to shave off everything below my neck.
