Banding - advice needed

[Allen (imported)]

Hello all you experienced banding enthusists:

I have an opportunity for my first banding experience, but want to hear from those who have participated on one thing: HOW LONG IS SAFE???

While I love the idea/fantasy of castration and may one day (in the distant future) decide to actually make it a reality in my life, I do NOT want it now. I want to play and still come away with my parts in working condition. I know that the stories in the archives are just fiction and not to be used as a guide (hell, I even wrote some of them). So how long is safe? 10 minutes? 45 minutes? 1 hour? 2 hours? . . . ???

Please respond, all of you seasoned banders. I'd much appreciate it. In fact, my gonads depend on it.

From everything I have read - -

ten to fifteen minutes is safe,

45 minutes to and hour is a maybe

over two hours causes damage,

and over four hour your nuts are most likely dead,

and after all night because you passed out drinking you should not remove the rings just go to the hospital.

That all depends on your pain tolerance and the old saying "YMMV".

Mine was about 2 minutes, thank you.

Been there, done that, not gonna do it again.

I have forgotten the link, but do a search on the BME World member pages and hunt up Tom's self extreme page. Everything you ever wanted to know about banding.

Hi,

I have used (or to be more accuracte, have had used on me) the bands supplied by Survet. I have don 1 hour and 15 mins, there was some skin damage, further the hoden required several days to return to normal (what ever that is).

I can assure you being bound helplessly with bands on is quite stressful and excruciatingly painful (god I love it).

This is not for the weak-hearted.

If you want a little advice. Put the band on the prongs spread it all the way and tie the handles togather with a shoelace or something. And leave the bander sit like that for a few days.

The band will stretch out some and be easier to get off without cutting, which I think is the worst part. New bands are extremly tight and dangerous, 20 min was my pain threshold with one. Use some ky or something with the band to make it easier in you're skin. If you want to try something that gets you off almost imediatly use 2 or 3 bands, just don't leave them on for long and don't be doing it everyday.

I love banding my balls as part of my castration fantasies. I use an elastrator and the little green bands.

I try limiting the time that the bands are on to about fifteen minutes and never any longer than thirty minutes. Thankfully, it never takes me any longer than than that to achieve my goal of an intense orgasm.

After about fifteen mimutes I have usually reached my pain threshold and am ready to get the band off. Banding does hurt, but that is what makes it so exciting.

I have been doing this for about a year now, about four or five times a month

and have not had a problem. I feel that fifteen minutes is relatively safe, any time longer is risky.

I would suggest that you purchase a pair of nail clippers, that are designed for clipping a dog's toenails, to cut the bands off. They can be slid under the band to cut it without cutting your scrotum.

You will also find that the bands are painful to put on and especially to cut off if you have a lot of pubic hair. I keep all of mine shave off to to prevent the band from pulling it and to make my fantasy more exciting.

Have fun, but be careful.
