Burdizzo

The Burdizzo is an instrument used for the bloodless castration of young male calves, lambs, and goats by severing (crushing) the testicular cord.

THAT'S IT! JUST THOSE ANIMALS...YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO USE IT ON HUMANS.

Use On Humans

And of course, a bunch of weird, creepy dudes had to immediately go out and use one on themselves.

It's the presence in his underwear that he can't stand. Or something like that. “The testicles hanging between my legs, they are just annoying to me. I don't like the weight. They are uncomfortable. I prefer when it is lighter and smoother and cleaner. I want to keep my penis, I want to keep my scrotum, but I just don't want them down there.”

Another way to achieve the same result is with a burdizzo, essentially a large clamp used to castrate bulls, sheep, or goats without having to cut into the scrotum. Each cord is placed in the jaws of the clamp, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle. Done correctly, the procedure hurts like hell, says Gelding. “You don't want to hear the scream an adult male makes when he has the sudden realization he should have asked for a local anesthetic instead of being a brave boy.” But using the burdizzo lessens the risk of infection. The testicles are left in the scrotum to wither into useless pebbles.
