I know banding talk on here is not...welcomed but I have spoken to a few guys over the years who've lost their testicles that way. One thing I never asked is, what does the scar look like? Is it smooth, or does the skin stay gathered - like when you band for play? Does it leave a raised 'lump' or does the wound area flatten out?

I presume when someone has their scrotum removed (either at castration or after) the surgeon cuts the sack in such a way as to leave a smooth finish but I guess it must be a bit different for those who were done through whatever form of banding?

From what I've seen on BMEzine.com banding scars look sort of like this: *.

Thanks tanglog. I see what you mean - although you've given me a good giggle as well

yeah, the * is the scar, the . is the clenched hole.

I wonder if the 'scrunching' causes any trouble?

Leaves a sharp point, and tends to abrade one's underwear

LOL. That's what I thought. Still, i guess it exfoliates the inner thighs when you sit down...

when Ben's came off, it was sooth scar tissue about the size of a dime. The wrinkles had all smoothed themselves out over the months that the band was in place. It took an eternaty. Not the ten days to two weeks that lambs drop off. Read Ben in the archive. As a friend and companion it was emotionally devistating. Ben moved on and got married again before being killed in an accident.

What does it matter what the scar looks like? Who's going to care? Eventually the skin softens and though it's bunched together somewhat, it becomes pliable. It's just looks like an asterik.
