Banding - overcoming the ache

[Petemates (imported)]

I have been banding my balls for years and I want to increase the time I can spend with the band on. But when the ache kicks in after around 10-15 minutes, I know it won’t be long before I have to cut the band off.

Does anyone know of a way to overcome the ache? Or how long it takes before the ache subsides?

Thanks

Pain is a signal that indicates damage in your balls. It must be taken seriously. But if your goal is to damage your balls, then there are methods. Like injecting lidocaine before banding. Also, if you cool your balls in icy water below 10C, there will be almost no pain. But be warned, switching off alert signal might easily lead you to permanent damage. You will feel no need to unband your balls, as it is too cool to watch your blue, cold, and completely numb balls.

I will add my agreement that soaking the balls in ice water will deaden the pain entirely. Tie the balls off before soaking in ice water before banding and you will not experience that dull ache that becomes over powering pain. Also the sense of urgency to remove the band in spite of the darkening of the balls will be a tempting path. I have experienced 30-40 minutes of total numbness after leaving the balls banded for 20-30 minutes. During that time the balls feel like they are not present and one can abuse them without any pain being felt. It is a very odd feeling knowing you are squeezing and or punishing your balls but feeling nothing! But be careful as damage might be done and only felt when and if your balls return to normal temperature and are unbanded .

When I still had them I used a pain-relieving lotion containing lidocaine. I'd put the lotion on and waited until they were completely numb.

I'd then put on more lotion, followed by one or two bands.

I wanted to be a eunuch and through banding and alcohol/calcium chloride injection, achieved my goal after presenting to a urologist.

Seriously, though, if you wish to become a eunuch, go another route. Meet up with a couple of therapists and obtain letters. I went this route to have the rest removed, and learned a lot about my need to be a nullified eunuch in the process.

I agree with all the posts above and more.

Taken to its ultimate conclusion. Your balls will be starved of oxygen from fresh blood but, you will feel no pain. Hopefully, at some point before your nuts experience death, you will cut the bands off and resume the flow of oxygenated blood. If you do cut the band off in time, it would be a "no harm - no foul" situation.

However (and this is a big however), suppose you realize you've let it go way too far and our balls are obviously dead. You would do one of several things at that point.

Before I give you the most likely things you would do, let me say this, seek immediate emergency medical attention and do not cut off the band.

But, we are all humans and embarrassment and panic are likely to set in. Which means you are likely to do one of these things:

Cut the Band off in desperate hope that your balls will return to normal. This is a VERY BAD IDEA. If your nuts are really dead, then they have started to rot like meat left out of the fridge too long. Bacteria have started to eat your dead flesh and balls. Cutting off the band will give the bacteria an avenue to attack the rest of your body. This could lead to sepsis and death if you don't seek medical attention.

Cut the balls and scrotum off below the band. Another VERY BAD IDEA. The band might slip off. The blood vessels and spermatic chords are going to slip up into your body. Now, you need immediate emergency surgery to find the blood vessels and seal them off. To find them, the surgeon will need to open your lower abdomen and search for them. Hopefully, if they are bleeding, the surgeon will succeed and find the blood vessels before you bleed to death. If you live, you will have a scar similar to a cesarian scar.

Leave the band on and hope your scrotum and balls fall off all by themselves. To see how long you could manage this idea, do a test. Wear a jockstrap or pair of tight briefs. Put a raw chicken thigh in your underwear. If you can stand the smell of the rotting tissue of the chicken thigh for about two weeks, then you might stand a chance of your balls dropping off below the band in about two weeks before you seek medical attention. Still, this is a VERY BAD IDEA because when the banded tissue below the band falls off those pesky spermatic cords and blood vessels will most likely pull up into your abdomen. A surgeon will need to go find them to make sure they are sealed off - and there is that huge scar again.

Elastrators were made to be used on the young pre-puberty testicles of lambs and calves. They were never designed to safely crust the mature testicles, spermatic cords and blood vessels of an adult human.

That pain you feel that makes you want to cut the band off is your body's way of saying, "cut this thing off now or we'll be in the emergency room if we are lucky. If we are not lucky, we'll be in the mortuary."

As we go through life we are known by many names. The one to avoid for as long as possible is "the dearly departed".

Yes I would caution anyone as well that banding balls is highly risky and one must cut any bands after a reasonable time, certainly after 30-40 minutes for a session. Certainly no one ants to have and unscheduled visit to the emergency room coupled with a lot of embarrassment and a serious medical condition. The balls will remain numb for a long time and continuous repeating over a period of time will probably lead to damage and eventually atrophy which hopefully only happens as a "planned" event Be very careful with banding your balls.

Totally agree with everything above. But...

I found that if I set myself a task that I wouldn't cut the band off until completed helped me get to 40 minutes regularly. Things like ironing my uniform and packing my bag, or collecting the garbage and taking it out to the alley, vacuuming the floors. The more I had to move around the more it took my mind off the pain. Having to concentrate on a chore, kept my mind focused and off the pain. I can't say this is what happened, and probably just a coincidence. I had been banded for 45 minutes. It was very painful I remember. I bent down to pick up the band and I had the most excruciating pain in my lower back. Had me in bed for three days. CAT scan and Xrays showed nothing, but it seemed totally associated with testicle pain to me. Anyway, about 6 months went by, and the opportunity and desire to band arose. I banded, my back started to hurt after about 20 minutes. Lol, was perfect for keeping the pain of my testicles out of my mind. When I eventually cut the band, 30 minutes maybe, not as long as usual, my back pain was unbearable again! So bad I ended up in the emergency room! No clue what caused the back pain, but has made me avoid the temptation of banding since.

Out of curiosity, any idea how much each of those trips to the ER cost?

There has to be some connection with pain radiating up from things like a kick or blow to the balls. The pain takes a few seconds to register and it radiates all the way up inside a male. it is difficult to describe the order of events from pain and it just seems logical that it is all interrelated. So yes I can see the possibility that ball banding might lead to back pain and some lingering effects.

Keeping busy with tasks while banded is distracting one from the pain while working for most males but perhaps it is masking a lot more than suspected. Perhaps it is better to deal with the pain through icing or with lidocaine so numbness is reached quicker and other radiated pain is minimized. Might be interesting to hear from other with banding experiences.

During fetal development, the kidneys, the adrenal glands and the gonads all form in the area below the rib cage and towards the back.

The gonads travel from the kidneys to the groin. In a female, they turn into ovaries whereas in a male they become testicles. In a male, they continue down through the inguinal canal and drop into the scrotum. The inguinal canal seals up.

Still, the testicles are connected to the kidneys. They share the same branches of nerves and they share the same lymphatic system.

When a man gets hit in the nuts, the pain radiates to the kidneys which are far more towards the back than most people realize. If the testicles are damages by banding and back pain results, it is most likely the kidneys responding to the nerve damage in the testicles.
