Banding My Penis

[Numbhead (imported)]

That would be nice to be done with all in one shot. Curious to know how long was recovery time, that would be another factor. My personal safety I am aware, I can care less about the safety obviously of my cock. In fact I banded this evening with seven bands on, lasted only 4 hrs. The bladder needs relieving. Honestly with that many bands on the coloring and the feel wasn't like before with the 6 hr banding. Color wasn't that dark of purple and when I cut the last couple bands off it looked like it was actually turning ashy grey. Currently it's swollen quite a bit and skin is tight and dry

My recovery was quick, but that's because there was not much holding my penis on to my body at the end, so you can't go by what I did. I had slowly cut through it. I would cut at the base, apply woundseal, stop, let heal. That was it, over and over until I was 95% through it. My penis was being held on by the dorsal vein and drosal nerves and just a small scrap of skin when I finally cut it off. The woundseal sealed both ends of the cut so it wouldn't heal back together. So again, the healing for me was in days because everything else had healed up previsously. Woundseal was incredible in stopping all my bleeding.

As for you, I don't know what to tell you. Cutting it off in one quick slice might be dangerous and land you in the ER. Also, did anyone ever tell you that banding "might" cause a blood clot? Blot clots are dangerous, so again, do be careful.

I remember a guy who had several deep shaft piercings, one really close to the base of his penis, straight through both cavernosums. He kept increasing the gauge or the diameter of the bar. He eventually got to a 4 gauge bar and was still able to get erections even though it seemed as the large bar was restricting blood. There was not much flesh (or so it seemed) between the bar when he was flaccid. He thought about cutting it off but instead cut his penis completely in half. When he cut through the area with the bar, you could hardly see how any blood was getting up to the rest of his penis. He did eventually cut his penis off, but I lost touch with him shortly afterward. I had thought about a deep shaft piercing before cutting my penis off because I thought it might prevent a lot of bleeding, and I did love having multiple women body piercers pierce my penis. I had a 4 gauge ampallang ring through the glans of piercing years ago. It was the first ampallang piercing for my young female piercer and she was ecstatic after she pierced it. So I'm reminiscing, but thought you might enjoy knowing some of what I did. I also had a young female tattoo artist tattoo my glans hot pink, but that's another story.

Yes I know banding can cause clots, I take aspirin well before plus my BP medicine. Multiple bands do have more results. Penis is staying kinda cool, and staying kinda light purple. Still swollen at the base where 7 bands were. Skin is dry and hangs from just behind banding point at base. I'm thinking gonna be longer than a month before and feeling comes back.. and I won't cut it off I'll go and have hospital/Dr do it.would be nice to afford going in and become full nullo in one procedure.

[Numbhead (imported)]

Well I went and used 7 bands again, went to the 4hr mark. I can say the multiple bands does more. My penis is unreactive, just hangs doesn't try and retract nothing kinda life less. Color didn't return to pinkish or normal either, always staying cold now. Most of the veins are raised and very noticeable, I'd say the appearance is not as appealing as it used to be. I'm thinking it's toughness is getting weaker as well. I'm got a feeling I'm going past the threshold and decline is gonna happen more.

I have experimented with rubber bands for a while and find they just don't provide a full numbness.

I have ordered an elastrator and bands due to arrive in the next day or two.

Looking forward to going completely numb for the first time. Hopefully for a few weeks at least.

Don't be surprised if you can't keep castration bands on to long, if you never tried them. And make sure you have trauma scissors that you can get under band to cut off. I use a crochet needle the hook works good to get under and pull away from skin.

[Mescottyg86 (imported)]

Thanks for the advise. I hope I can last 30 mins st least. I have some tools to remove the bands. Scissors and something to get under the band.

[C&TL2745 (imported)]

Or put a string underneath while you're applying the band. It won't affect how the band works, but when you're ready to cut it off, you can just pull on the string to pull the band far enough away from the skin to cut it without nicking the skin.

Many have used a rounded dog toe nail clipper, as well

Mescotty - Please do be careful with the elastrator. Excessive banding might cause clots and you should have a plan in place should you exceed the point of no return. What is your plan if you exceed the point where your penis/testicles are dead? Decide on what you'll do before you start banding.

[CastratedTomcat (imported)]

Up to 30min is ok and not really dangerous I think.

Elastrator bands are horrible to cut and one of it isn't tight enough.

My suggestion is a small rubber band and with it 10 rounds around your flaccid (!) penis for max. 30min.

[C&TL2745 (imported)]

With all this stuff, your mileage may vary. I know that blood clots are a potential hazard, but I have yet to see a documented case where someone got one from banding less than four hours. Still, you might just be the one who gets it. Similarly, I know a few guys who've banded for two hours with no adverse effects, but that doesn't mean you couldn't end up with a dead penis in one hour. As Hash noted, be prepared for life-changing consequences if you band. The odds may be in your favor, but there are no guarantees.

The longest time I have gone with bands on was 6hrs. That was 3 castration bands, together at the base. I also take aspirin before I band and I'm already on BP medicine. I recently have added up to 7 bands but only for 4hrs. I can say I that the results are visible with more bands less time then with less bands more time. I have done this twice now and I would like to believe that if I try the longer time with the 7 bands that my penis is not gonna recover as much or as fast either. Eventually I'm gonna go past the recover at all time, and my penis will most likely be dead.

[Numbhead (imported)]

I also inject lidocaine into the base of my penis before I can stay banded for such times.

[Mescottyg86 (imported)]

So I did my first banding. I did 30 mins then waited and hour and then did 20 mins (could not last the last 10 mins)

I'd say it's was partially successful but only achieved about 70% numbness. I'm going to wait a few days to heal before doing this again.

The worst was cutting the band. The blood re entering along with the skin being released was not pleasant

[Numbhead (imported)]

The band when it first cut does sting, you can try a numbing gel/creme to apply a few minutes before you cut band. And you can wrap your penis before you band as well.

Really want to caution everyone. Banding frequently with multiple bands can break down your pain threshold and pain is what prevents most men from keeping the bands on past the point of no return. So the more you band, the less you feel, the less you feel, the further you'll go in leaving the bands on. Also there may come a point where, because of the "restriction" that the bands have put around your penis, the urethra may collapse or become so damaged that you won't be able to urinate after you take the bands off. If that happens you'll most likely have to go to the ER in order to find relief. Again, just saying. I'm a penectomy survivor and I have a lot of experience with this stuff.

Let me ask you, "How will you know if you've gone past the point of no return? Your penis will die quickly and turn black (do a web picture search "gangrene penis"). At this point, do not take the bands off, gangrene will enter your body and that can be deadly. Towards the end when I was finishing my penectomy, during the last few hours I slowly watched the skin start to break down. I had lost the majority of feeling in it and not much was holding it on, but I didn't have time to finish the deed until several hours later. When I went to the bathroom I knew my penis was dead and dying, the skin was starting to break a part in little sections and one small area was turning black.

wanted to thank numbhead for the info, i bought myself an elastrator, best tool i ever used, it does not hurt THAT much and has the wanted effects, i use lidocain spray

[Numbhead (imported)]

Just be wise of all the risks involved, I myself am on my way to reaching a point I want to be in life. Which is why last night I rebanded with 7 bands, at the 3.25hr point I was debating on pushing past 4hrs. Was sitting in my recliner watching a show well to the effects of TV/recliner combo I must have dozer off. 2 hours later I wake up to realize such. I immediately checked my penis condition still there. I decided to hold out to 6hrs was almost there. My penis was firm lil hard getting hook under bands, but it did leave a mark at each spot I pushed hook under with lidocaine gel. It seems there is a scrape on skin there. The last band came off a few minutes then the ache at base where the bands where. This is still quite sore and bruised, my whole penis is swollen to the point it looks like I have a raging erection. Gonna see what kinda effects this has before I rebanded.

[C&TL2745 (imported)]

I don't know how long you can go before tissue death and gangrene become probable, but at six hours, I suspect that you're pushing your luck. Be sure you have transportation to the ER lined up and a plausible cover story for how you got to that point before going much further. At some point, removing the bands will be hazardous to your health, and I really don't know exactly where that point is.

I'm thinking this is gotta be close the skin was very pale lightest purple color. Almost like it was see thru. It was like if I didn't use gel with hook I think I could have torn or poked thru the skin. To urinate I can't shake or squeeze near the base at all from being sore. I'm putting some tp. in shorts to exorb any that sort of leaks out. Skin now looks very dry ,cold purplish.

Numbhead,

It sounds like a clot may have formed in your penis, and the portion of it that was cut off of circulation from the bands is no longer getting any circulation even after removing the bands. The fluids from your body would normally hydrate and provide oxygen via your circulatory system. The fact that the skin is very dry, cold, and purple shows that circulation is no longer happening. I would advise you seek medical treatment immediately. If you do have a blood clot obstructing circulation, it could become dislodged and end up elsewhere in your body. If it goes to your heart or brain you could very quickly die. I don't think anyone here wants to hear that happened to you.

[Mescottyg86 (imported)]

Would be good to hear your okay numbhead

[Numbhead (imported)]

I'm OK I have no clots. Just bruised and very numb and still sore at base. And my penis is still swollen and purplish

[Numbhead (imported)]

So swelling went down but not even my penis hooked to the right for better part of two days. Not sore at the base, bruise has spread to my cover all my penis. No feeling dry numb.
