There is an album and videocassette, possibly had “official bootleg” status, by the Swans titled “Public Castration Is A Good Idea”, and the typesetting as album cover “art” is not discreet about that. Swans are a New York “No Wave” band known for their loud Industrial Noise concerts with reports of bleeding eardrums

Bonus Technical Fact: in 1986, audio Compact Discs (“Red Book”) were penetrating the consumer market, and Swans were releasing albums with TRT just over 74 minutes, in order to maximize the 650MB storage capacity. In fact some would squeeze in up to 80 minutes of audio and CD players needed really good triple-beam tracking, plus error correction, for those. https://copilot.microsoft.com/shares/vU7spvGEpV5k8JUHMuFFD https://copilot.microsoft.com/shares/vU7spvGEpV5k8JUHMuFFD
For a really gritty depiction of at-home unlicensed castration surgery cum revenge fantasy, “Hard Candy” starring Elliot Page is out there.
In Robert J. Sawyer’s The Neanderthal Parallax sf novel series, there’s a male character [rapist] who describes firsthand how it felt to surgically lose just one testicle, and how he felt less aggressive, less angry all the time; his libido, formerly out of control, seemed nearly normal?

Sawyer thus promotes castration for White people as a forward-thinking eugenic punishment which can be visited on all genetic relatives of the offender! ... an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and 10 nuts for a single nut!
