A
cute little
device used to
castrate a
male by means of
stretching a
small but
strong rubber band enough to
fit around the
base of the
scrotum. It is
tight enough that it cuts off all the
blood to the
testicles, causing them to
die within a few
hours. This process is very
excruciating until they're
dead, but after which point the body simply
adjusts to the new
hormone balance. The rubber band can be left
on so that the
skin dies as well, causing a
shrunken,
black mass of dead
skin and other
tissue to
fall off within a couple
weeks. Should the band be
removed before the skin dies, the
testes theoretically get
absorbed into the
blood stream like any other piece of degradable
foreign matter. In effect, it then ends up being much like a more painful, drawn-out version of the
Burdizzo clamp, with the notable advantage of it being
reversible if the
subject changes their
mind (assuming they're a human with testicles who is getting castrated
willingly - not as
uncommon as the
layperson might think!).
