Amputation of the
penis. Medically, this is done when
cancer of the penis has progressed beyond
conventional treatment. Usually, there are
tumors and sever inflammation already set in the organ. Also, this is a practice in the
eunuch and
BDSM community.
Ideally, a cauterizing knife is used. A cauterizing knife is crucial because it seals any blood vessels it breaks with its heated blade. This is a crucial tool because there are eight major blood vessels in the penis. There is a chance that the person might die of blood loss.
After the operation, the tumors are gone and the cancer goes into remission. In the community, it is seen as a transcendental experience. The practice gives a sense of erotic pleasure.
