uncastrated

Never been neutered

Uncastrated describes a male animal that has not had its testicles removed—retaining its natural reproductive capacity and the hormonal influences that come with it.

An uncastrated bull, stallion, or boar typically shows more aggressive behavior than its neutered counterpart.

The term occasionally appears in discussions of historical practices involving human males.
