And don't forget Dr Bowers in Colorado! She has probably removed more testicles then anyone and is the only one who has had it done herself.

Nope I wont let you say that about yourself you are not an idiot someone who is learning yes idiot no.

Bless you, Sag. Thanks for the kind words.

As an update, I think my clamping worked. My right testicle seems to be shrinking. I'm going to wait a few more weeks to be sure. Then I will do the left side. I don't have a proper Burdizzo or Emasculatome, I'm using a wood working clamp. With no sperm ducts in the way, you can easily clamp the blood vessels without breaking the skin of the scrotum. However, if this doesn't produce a permanent result, I'll try either a Burdizzo or surgery next.

My advice to you banding and Burdizzo users -- go have a vasectomy. Now you can clamp the arteries without having to crush the vas deferens.

Make sure that the doctor removes a goodly section of each vas, at least a centimeter. Tell him that you are not wanting any children ever - i.e. no reversal surgery in your future. As a fringe benefit, vasectomy will give a feel for what an orchiectomy is like. Enjoy!

Not wanting to let my own feelings interfere with my scientific experiment in bloodless castration, I asked someone who is intimately familiar with my body to check my testicles. After a thorough manual examination, my wife said that she detected a change in the right testicle, namely, that it felt smaller and firmer, consistent with a reduced blood supply.

I have been unable to locate a pulse in the right spermatic artery. Also the right eplidymus seems to have shrunk and the testicle tends to hang lower than the left. I haven't had much pain, but I do notice some slight discomfort in my right groin at times. So it looks like I am on my way to my goal of becoming an eunuch.

I'm going to wait an additional 2-weeks or so to see if the shrinkage continues. If not, I will reapply the clamp to the right cord and try again. However, if I am convinced that the right testicle is dead, then the clamp will be applied to the left cord, and my journey should be over.

To be continued....

For me $4,000 is a fortune and $8,000 seems like the national debt. I'm willing though there doesn't seem any way.

What I find interesting at least in my case I knew I needed castration and nothing was going to stop me.My body was telling me to get testosterone out of my system and I am so much better today for that.Sometimes we just cant ignor what our bodies are telling us.

Way back in 1975 I got a vasectomy in an urologist's office for around $90. So paying $2000 or more for an orchiectomy seems excessive as the operations are similar. Add in the travel costs and the hotel bills and you are getting very pricey. However, I think vasectomies today are about $1000 (correct me if I am wrong).

I'm not in favor of DIY but what other choice is there other than spending big $$$?

My bloodless method seems to be working for me, but you still have to have a vasectomy first in order for it to work properly.

SAg - I'm with you on this point. I just wish that I had found the EA sooner.

Well as they say its never to late

Well, as a method for castration sure. But - substituting some other material for suture - it would be a very cool body modification to have your scrotum "sewn shut". It could be done without damage, although there would always be a risk for it of course. And probably some inconvenience when the balls tried to draw back up towards the body.
