I burdizzoed my nuts a couple of years ago. Did it alone, which was A. very hard to physically manage and B. as a result not successful. I was, however, very determined to do it. The pain is intense for a short while but I guess, like women say about childbirth, the memory of the intensity fades. I dunno that I'd bother doing it again, it was an overrated experience and not very fulfilling doing it myself - although I did enjoy the numbness and low hanging nuts for a few days after the attempt.

I suspect no one has bothered to produce a for-human-use clamp because there's not a huge call for male castration (members here excluded), which would make them prohibitive due to cost if someone did.

I also presume there's very little instructional information about self castration like banding etc around because society deters autocastration or auto anything, more than it does self-diagnosis or self-medication. Perhaps if there was more information, there'd be less botched and potentially fatal diy results in casualty.

While you have far less chance of anything going wrong with a surgeon involed, i've read posts citing dramas in that situation here on the forum. There're risks having anything done to your body. While I'm sure people *have* castrated themselves with elastrator bands, I reckon using those particular bands would be asking for trouble. They're just too weak and flimsy and too liable to roll off - which would be disasterous and somewhat...messy

There are several anatomical factors that limit the chance of successful cord crushing/castration in humans. The principal one is the relationship of the vas deferens to the testicular artery. The artery is muscular, flexible, resiliant and smallish. The vas is firm, resistant to compression and larger. When pressure is applied to the spermatic cord the vas crushes to a diameter that is still large enough to partially protect the artery from complete collapse. When the crushing force is released the artery (remember it is flexible and muscular) regains much, if not all, of its original size. The result is pain and swelling from damaged tissues around the cord without causing much in the way of permanent effect to either the artery or to the testicle it supplies. Some of the other factors to consider are the presence of the cremaster muscle in the cord (it also surrounds and protects the artery) and the small size of the artery which makes it difficult to completely crush. Lesser, none the less important, considerations are the cords system of veins surrounding the other cord structures and the testicular nerve which is just under the surface of the cord and very sensitive to pressure (holy @#!** it hurts!!). --FLO--

Actually there was a emasculatome made once that worked very well on humans.Completely differant construction than a burdizzo.

Looks the same but very suttle differances.

Very narrow edges.Cord stops on apposing sides.Very small cord stops.Much narrower gap between cord stop and blade.Made completely out of surgical stainless steel.It had the name wimco stamped on it and cost 250$ which was its downfall.

Nobody is willing to spend that much.

Saw one for sale on ebay today

very rare I only see one or 2 a year anymore.

yes I saw the wimco .My wife already owns a 16 and 19 that she uses in her practice.She says they were the very best made.She has never had a failure.

She thinks its because of the narrow jaw blades which apply extreme pressure over a narrow area.

Other burdizzos have broad rounded edges that sqeeze rather than crush.

Go get a vasectomy first, and make sure they cut out at least a centimeter of the vas deferens. Then there is nothing in the way of crushing the artery. I have used a simple woodworking clamp on myself without any bad effects, but the testicle is shrinking nicely. (I'm doing one side at a time as an experiment.)

are you sure it is working

are you sure it is working

Not 100% sure, if that's what you mean. You need 4 to 6 weeks to be sure. Not long enough to tell for sure. Stay tuned.

I bought an elasterator and rings today. It looks fearsome and using the ring on my finger hurt like hell but there was a bone in there. Monday I'll try it

My wife says my right nut is shrinking, so my clamping experiment seems to be working. I'm going to have her squeeze the handles on my left cord in a few weeks if there is further shrinkage. We'll redo the right one if there isn't. Stay tuned....

Not that I plan to use it, but I bought this thing off Ebay. I bid as a lark, not thinking I'd win it, but did. I think there was only one bid other than mine. It'll be a conversation piece, if nothing else. I'm not about to stick my balls in it. Ouch. At least, I'll know what one looks like for any stories I might write.
