'''Teresex,''' also known as '''Nullo''' or '''Smoothie,''' is a sex characteristic where one voluntarily had their genitals and sex organs fully removed, or was [[Agenital|born with no sexual organs or genitals]]. Not all Teresex individuals are [[transgender]], but some may be [[Apothigenitalapothigenital]] or do it voluntarily for religious reasons. The removal doesnt always include the breasts or nipples, but sometimes it does. while the procedure is typically done by [[Man|men]], some [[Woman|women]] and [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals also have it done.
This overlaps with a few terms, beingsuch as [[Angenitalangenital]] (however, is specific for those who have had their genitals removed fully instead of the desire), [[Intersexintersex]] (for those specifically born without any genitals or sex organs, also known as [[Agenitalagenital]] or [[sexless]]) and [[Altersexaltersex]] (those who have altered their sex to remove their genitals and sex organs).

== History and Explanation ==
"Smoothing", or genital nullification, is typically done by men who are eunuchs, more commonly in Asia. The earliest records for intentional genital nullification to produce eunuchs are from the Sumerian city of Lagash in the 21st century BC. Over the millennia since, they have performed a wide variety of functions in many different cultures, such as courtiers, treble singers, religious specialists, soldiers, royal guards, government officials, and guardians of women or other reasons. As of recent however, genital nullification has been seen as a body modification sought after by some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] or [[apothigenital]] folks. Some doctors refuse to do the surgery, however, due to the idea of "maiming the patient". Male patients will typically have their testes. phallus. prostate and seminal vesicles removed and replaced by a catheter, and less commonly, take estrogen pills or testosterone blockers, have their nipples removed or other procedures. Female patients will typically have their clitoris removed, labia sutured, uterus and vagina removed, and sometimes their breasts.
