For my situation, the problem with burdizzo was the reason for my former master to use elastrator. That's all. (He didn't keep the tool there enough in any case).

I have heared that it take no more than 15 seconds on farm animals, Why would it take more than that on humans?

Arent humans testicles much smaller too?

The sort of death and infection rate that is acceptable on livestock would be appalling for humans. My ex-girlfriend was a veterinarian and I used to go to farms with her. There were days when she neutered a hundred goats or sheep in a day using an emasculator or burdizzo (with me mostly holding them down for her). It was just accepted that some percentage of them would die afterwards, because sheep and goats are cheap. She NEVER used those tools on important animals like peoples' dogs or livestock that was going to be shown, because the risks were too high. A procedure that isn't safe enough for a show steer definitely isn't safe enough for you.

(btw, I tried to talk her into doing an orchiectomy on me, but she wasn't sold on the idea and then we broke up)
