I've read most threads involving the burdizzo, injecting stuff into testicles and the elastrator. I tried the injecting rum151 for a couple weeks and I "think" i managed to kill one testicle (it's hard and don't feel pain when I squeeze it like the other one).

The left one just won't die. So now I"m trying the elastrator, but like so many of you have already said, after about 20 minutes the pain is too much and i end up taking it off. It's not that the pain becomes worse and worse, it's just it hits a point where the steady pain is just exhausting and I give up. Longest I've gone is 45 min. Websites say after 12hrs it's def dead, but I'm wondering if anyone's successfully used the elastrator to kill their testicle(s) and if so, how long does that pain that starts after 20 minutes last? Please don't say 6+ hrs, loll.

All feedback is welcome! Thanks guys!

I've been reading this board for a decade now and I only remember one post where a guy said he "tolerated" the pain. It's somewhere on this board but I can't find it. Most times the pain is so overwhelming that people remove the bands and then their testicles hurt worse as the blood flow resumes. During an elastration, to make matters worse, the pain reflects back up into the torso and becomes even more unbearable.

And remember, once you get past all that -- say you could be painless for a dozen hours for the thought experiment -- then you have a pair of dead testicles down there and unless you want to spend ten or fifteen days stinking of rotting flesh before they fall off, you have to go to a doctor to get them removed and I guarantee you, the hospital will put you on a psychological hold and evaluate you.

An elastrator is fun and games but if taken to the ultimate purpose -- castration -- that requires a little planning and thought about what will happen afterward.

Thanks for the reply -

I guess I was thinking about keeping it on just enough to kill it, but not let it rot, etc. Possible? Like after using a burdizzo, it's just enough to die and then it shrinks and gets absorbed into the body naturally?

Yea that pain does quickly go up into my abdomen and becoems unbearable. Wondering how long it lasts though - the entire duration? ouch...

If I was a doctor and someone walked in with a rotting testicle that had been banded, i might think their crazy too I wish they'd do castrations more without asking questions, etc. I mean, I got my vasectomy done in 15 minutes, insurance paid for it and no questions were asked. When I inquired about an orchidectomy (castration) - he looked at me wierd and said "why would you want to do that" - sigh

If you leave the band on long enough to kill 'em, they will begin to rot no matter what you do. Leaving the band on while they rot may help to prevent the spread of blood poisoning, but then it may not and you will still end up in the ER.

Frequent banding for short periods of about 30 to 45 minutes may result in permanent damage and shrinkage without gangrene.

Unfortunately, everything dies -- the sack and all the other stuff inside it. There is no way around that.

The best way to convince you that banding may be nice for some interesting play time but not a particularly useful or asthetic device for human castration is to simply do some searching on the Internet for some pics of successful banding castrations. Splurge and buy a BME membership to look there as well. I'm pretty sure you can find plenty of pics of ordinary surgical castrations and burdizzo castrations. You will find plenty of pics of banding but the surprise happens in the very rare case you can find some banding pics after the testicles and bottom of the scrotum have been remove or rotted off. Surprise, surprise! The scrotum doesn't heal closed above the banding ring like you might think but instead it pops open in a gaping hole when the band is removed or falls off by itself. You'll never see a pic of a nicely healed banding castration where there wasn't surgery involved later to fix the mess that was made. You can find a few pics of gaping holes and wonder who would do that to himself. Just the facts, Ma'am.

Take a look at the current thread "banding video". I may make you think twice!

Ok, I dug around per your suggestions and I am thoroughly scared now lol. If I can't burdizzo to work, I won't do it at all.

Thanks for the reality check guys

Also, Mike Rowe (of Dirty Jobs) gave a good TED talk which covered a number of topics, including elastrator vs. surgical castration in sheep. http://www.ted.com/talks/mike_rowe_cele ... _jobs.html
