Male Genital Mutilation (Other Than Circumcision)

More from the above article

"In an online interview, the Norwegian-born suspect, who is also an amputee, boasted of having undergone the procedure himself and also carrying it out on 58 other men.

He also claimed he kept the removed appendages in his freezer or stored them in alcohol inside his flat.

The man insisted he carried out the surgery in a “very professional way”, but neighbours in the residential street described regularly seeing ambulances turning up to the property.

In the online interview, the suspect explained how he carried out the procedure using a castration device known as a Burdizzo in order to “help others achieve their goal".

A Burdizzo:

‘Eunuch maker’ arrested after ‘castrating men live on television from his flat’

Six other individuals arrested following claims man in his 40s carried out illegal operations from his north London property


A 44-year-old man nicknamed “The Eunuch Maker” has been arrested amid claims he carried out dozens of castrations on men in his north London basement flat and broadcast the procedures on pay-per-view television.

Six other men aged from their 30s to their 60s were also arrested after police raided the run-down property in the Finsbury Park area last December.

The castrations are believed to be part of the genital nullification, or “Nullo”, movement which has grown in popularity among those who do not wish to identify as male or female.

The majority of those who admit undergoing the procedure claim they are submissive gay males or wish to identify as asexual.

In an online interview, the Norwegian-born suspect, who is also an amputee, boasted of having undergone the procedure himself and also carrying it out on 58 other men.

Here's another article:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...Nullo-cult-north-London-arrest-seven-men.html

More than half of those people use amateur 'cutters' - often doctors or vets - or do it themselves. There are an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 voluntary 'Nullos' worldwide, though the true number is unknown. Two thirds never tell anyone they have no genitalia, including their families, a 2014 academic study found.

One man, named William, told the Daily Beast that he decided to spend the money to do it in a hospital.
He said: “The risk of something going wrong is extremely high. 'I also don’t wish to look like Frankenstein at the end of the procedure'.

A castrated vicar, named Benedict, said: 'It’s nowhere near as weird and difficult to try to become a eunuch now as it was 30 years ago. 'Now, we have doctors who don’t even blink when you say you want to just remove your testicles, or just add a vagina. I never saw this coming'.

A clinic in California charges around $10,000 plus hospital fees. There are clinics in Mexico a hospital who are willing to do a no-questions-asked castration.


This has a long history: Medieval picture of Origenes:

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, some scholars have questioned the historicity of Origen's self-castration, with many seeing it as a wholesale fabrication.[51][52] Trigg states that Eusebius's account of Origen's self-castration is certainly true, because Eusebius, who was an ardent admirer of Origen, yet clearly describes the castration as an act of pure folly, would have had no motive to pass on a piece of information that might tarnish Origen's reputation unless it was "notorious and beyond question."[36] Trigg sees Origen's condemnation of the literal interpretation of Matthew 19:12 as him "tacitly repudiating the literalistic reading he had acted on in his youth."[36]

And: With pictures!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skoptsy

They believed that human genitals were a mark of original sin, and that after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had the halves of the forbidden fruit grafted onto their bodies, forming testicles and breasts. Thus, the removal of these sexual organs restored the Skoptsy to the pristine state before the original sin. The Skoptsy maintained that they were fulfilling Christ's counsel of perfection in Matthew 19:12[4] and 18:8–9.[5]

There were two kinds of castration: the "lesser seal" and the "greater seal". For men, the "lesser seal" meant the removal of the testicles only, while the "greater seal" involved either removal of the penis or emasculation (removal of both penis and testicles). Men who underwent the "greater seal" used a cow-horn when urinating. The castrations and emasculations were originally performed with a red-hot iron, called the 'fiery baptism'. However, the skoptsy later transitioned to using knives or razors, with the iron serving only to stop the bloodflow. They also twisted the scrotum, destroying the seminal vesicles and stopping the flow of semen.
 
I've seen something similar used on adult thoroughbreds who 'knock' themselves while racing...an epidural is used while they're upright. It is usually the job of the Strapper to hold the horse while it is happening and one of the cruelest sound that I've ever heard is the sound of the testes striking the concrete floor.
 
'I also don’t wish to look like Frankenstein at the end of the procedure'.
Castrated pets can have 'Neuticles', silicon testicular implants, inserted to give them something to lick/reassure their owners.
The company don't make them for humans which I can prove because I know a joke about it.

Abstract​

The article examines the effects of voluntary religious castration (VRC) on the informal provision of cooperation through boycott. To do so, it analyzes the Russian Skoptsy sect, active from 1772 to 1930. The Skoptsy were outlawed by the Russian state and had to secure cooperation through informal means. To do so, the sect relied on the threat of boycott against noncooperative individuals. I argue that VRC ensured the credibility of this threat. First, VRC created a high entry cost, which screened for single-minded and patient individuals who placed high value upon repeated in-group interaction. Second, VRC created a high exit cost from the sect because of the hostile attitude of the Russian populace to castrated individuals. Moreover, the public could cheaply identify the ex-sect members and punish them because of permanent physiological changes caused by VRC. The credible threat of ostracism secured widespread cooperation among the Skoptsy and enabled the sect to support its members through a system of mutual aid and inheritance. Cooperation in the sect also allowed for a rapid creation of wealth through market collusion, making the Skoptsy one of the richest sects in Russia and abroad.

1772 to 1930?
How did they last that long?

They are usually regarded as a footnote to the history of extreme and diverse cults in pre-revolutionary Russia.

Scriabin, Rasputin etc.

Take the poet Konstantin Balmont:

"In February 1889 he married Larisa Mikhailovna Garelina; unhappy in marriage, on 13 March 1890 Balmont attempted suicide by jumping from a third-storey window - he walked with a limp and had an injured writing-hand for the rest of his life. He became involved in two other common-law marriages and attempted suicide a second time in 1909."

Some individuals embody the ferment of the times, displaying it as self-destruction and self-mutilation.

It may be reflected in our own times. :(

ChubbyEmu is utterly-outstanding as a medical sciences educational presenter. His whole delivery style is precise, understandable & gripping. He never patronises, and frequently frightens the viewer with his no-nonsense detailed approach. Chubby's characteristic quirks are immediately-recognisable by his growing legions of followers, as an adorable megameme.

A 36-year-old woman has been arrested in the south of France after she tore off part of her partner's genitals during an argument.
The woman was placed into police custody on Tuesday morning in Portet-sur-Garonne, south of Toulouse, two days after the alleged attack took place, according to French media.
Her 45-year-old partner was rushed to Rangueil Hospital on Sunday after "the skin of his penis had been partly torn off," regional newspaper La Depeche reported.

Ah, these modern self castrators are wimps. :evillaugh: They expect things like anaesthesia, sterilised equipment, wound care....

Now if you want to know how a real man does it... well, um... men who were real men before the procedure, at least ... just look at the Galli priests of Ancient Rome. They were expected to perform DIY self-castration as part of a religious rite in honour of the goddess Cybele.. None of your modern mollycoddling there. Just a decent grip on the self castrator and a bit of effort and the job was done.

Here's a picture of a preserved self-castrator:

Judging by the bent handle, there might have been a bit of force involved.

And the real irony is that the cult of Cybele was fairly popular!

I've never understood religions that reject those senses god given, and create damnable sins out of using them...I know that it is a symbolic rejection of worldly pleasure to focus on a more ascetic world, but there must be a limit.

It's about control. If you can convince people that aspects of normal human behaviour are wrong, they will feel they're in a constant state of sin. Do this well enough and they will police themselves and have no energy left to challenge authority.

The best example is menstruation. Every healthy woman menstruates. If they didn't, we'd die out. But girls and women are made to feel ashamed of it.

True that, Escargot.
 
I skim-read the Guardian article and it seemed to promise a crescendo of filth. Penile fracture is just the overture to Christmas Tree incidents, turkey trauma, swallowed baubles, kiddies falling off Santa's lap and injuries sustained while running from Santa impersonators!

Settling down to read it properly, I see it is an Elf and Safety litany with some sexual window-dressing. :nods:
