Based on what happens to animals, though, I think the answer to your question is yes. Also in historic times they often had eunuchs to be bodyguards for famous females or ect which seems to lend further proof to my hypothesis.
I wonder, though, since sex is often an emotional need as well as a physical one, I wonder if the need for intimacy would still be there. Interesting to ponder.
Why do you ask? Considering an operation?
I have seen animals, horses, dogs, and cats that are castrated still have sexual relations with other animals.
Also the Eunuchs were castrated, but only one of the testes was removed, so that they could please the wives of the harem, without being able to (Or so the husband thought) being able to produce children yet still keep the wives sexually satisfied.
I do not think it would change the desire much as people still wish intimacy.
In a male, if it was a complete castration, he would still be able to get an erection, as it is the blood in the penis not semen produced by the testes that hardens the penis.
In the female who is castrated (Such as in parts of Africa.) The female can still have sexual relations but the sensation is less because of the removal of her clitoris.
Anyways this is a very gruesome question.
