Did I really managed to castrate myself?

[Kangan (imported)]

In August of 2007, I castrated myself with a flat-faced wood working clamp applied for one minute to each cord. Since I already had a vasectomy, there was no vas deferens to get in the way of the clamp. Thus it was very easy to crush the blood vessels without damaging the scrotum. There was very little pain involved - mostly just an unpleasant squeezing sensation. I was surprised at how easy the whole thing was to accomplish.

Some of the other EA members have disputed my claim of castration, saying that I should have suffered great pain and swelling of the testicles, or that this technique simply could not work.

Here is what I have noticed, some 7-months later:

1. My testicles are shrunken and lack sensation.

2. My libido is seriously diminshed.

3. My wife says that I am much more ornery than before.

4. My prostate has diminished in size and I can pee properly now. (Confirmed by a doctor.)

5. I have noticed a reduction in the number of involuntary erections.

6. When I have an orgasm, there is almost no semen - only a few drops.

7. I think that my physical strength has decreased, but then I was never very muscular anyway.

I have not had my Testosterone level checked, but all of the above leads me to believe that I did permanent damage to my testicles.

Comments? Questions?

Sperm makes up about 5% of your ejaculation but if your prostate shrunk I guess the output can be greatly reduced. The being "ornery" sounds correct. Also low to no sex drive. Why don't you just get labs done?

Don’t worry what others think I got the same reaction when I said in a post that I clamped my self with a Burdizzo 11 times starting from 2000 to early 07

Only you know if your castrated or not every one is different pain thresholds ect

So put the issue to rest for you and all. Get a blood test. While it is possible to successfully castrate oneself using a burdizzo or similar device, it is rare. Most people here who have used such things report very negatively in terms of pain, swelling, hemhorraging (sp?), and lack of success. To be perfectly honest, I would be highly suspicious of any claim such as this. It is also very possible that such symptomology can result from illness, disease process, as well as psychosomatics. Convince yourself you have accomplished your end and you may well convince your body to act as though it has been. Only a blood test will tell for sure if you have stopped your testosterone production.

In the late 90's my total Testostrone was 595 when TRT was available to me it was 179. To get there on Dec 31,1999 I used the burdizzo on my left nut. I did it again 12/31/2000 to both nuts. The 2nd time I did this I had to stop a hemotoma by holding a lot of pressure for over 3 hours on the left side. My current ball size is 5/8" x 3/4" on left side and 1" x 1&1/2" on right side. Penis had when 160# been 7 & 1/2" when gained weight and at 180# more fat on pubic bone went to 6 & 3/4" if pushed down it was still 7&1/2 inches currently it will not get fully hard and is 6" can get another 1/2" if i push all the way against the pubic bone. I hope this info helps.

Added text: when the HMO was causing problems ( not the first time ) in 2005 my T level was at 130 with just what the body produced. Do not recall how long I was with out T supplement but the Androgel info says you will return to pre tx level in about 5 days.

that is a good point

That’s all I was trying to point out is that in using that many times I was un successful the same and that it was worthless to use on one self

how I was able to get past the pain was I would numb first with solorcane then used a tri bander left the band on for 30 minn I then put on a special pair of jeans that I had cut a hole In the crotch pulled my nuts through the hole so that they wherehung out free and went out side at night about 10:00 p.m. when it was 15 below zero and pack my balls in the snow and when the snow starts to get wet I put new snow on until the snow stops melting which takes 20 to 30 minn. Un less its colder out then 10 to 15 min

my balls got so cold there was no feeling in them at all that’s when I clamped them

after I took the band off and the blood started flowing back is when the pain started

hurt like hell it took approx 3 weeks to heal some what and another cold spell to try again

may be that’s why I was always unsuccessful because the cold temp hardened the cords

so that they would not crush I don’t know I got what I want now

I did post an article from the New York times a short time ago about grumpy, "ornery" old man and low testosterone, and how men given enough testosterone to bring it back up to normal levels felt better off. Go search for it.....

[kennath7 (imported)]

i read that it was good

[bitemynuts (imported)]

anything is possible. I give quick slams of my burdizzo on my right nut cords while holding the cord flat with my finger and thumb cutting of blood flow. This does not hurt as much untill you release the pressure and the blood flows back in the cord.

Good point, Mr.T. One reason for not getting labs done is the cost since I do not have insurance.

One thing that I have noticed is that I have much less energy. Tasks seem to take longer and I get tired very easily. All this is consistent with low T.

As for it being psychosomatic, I think that is a possibility, but doubt it is actuality.

I forgot to mention that I had some strong hot flashes right after the initial crunch session. These were a bit bothersome at the time, but they seem to have subsided to the point where I don't perceive them anymore. this was one reason why I began to wonder myself if I had been unsucessful.

The bottom line is that I do seem to have most of the symptoms of low T, and my libido has dropped dramatically - which was the main reason for castrating myself in the first place. So regardless of what a few folks think, I'm quite satisfied with the "results" so far.
