It's some sort of ring they put around it.
it's the same idea as the "tie off" method to a blowout or HT scarring.
The ring goes on, and Im assuming you tie it off or move it in some way a little tighter everyday.
A girl in our class had it done to her son. she said in 2 weeks it just fell off.
Your basically just killing the skin and depriving it from oxygen.
To my knowing, most insurances will cover it, as it's probably way more inexpensive than paying a doctor to preform the surgery.
Is that by conventional logic or knowing people in the insurance industry?
I have no trust for those types of businesses these days.
And I can't exactly see that method going terribly well. I mean, obviously I'd have to see many cases with it to make a proper judgment, but hasn't the body modification community kind of come to consensus that tying off isn't a great way to do it?
Problems I could see are tissue death being uneven, mothers not being properly trained to use it or having it placed wrong, and extreme discomfort, even pain, from the pressure. The foreskin has a lot of nerves.
Used to do that on sheep and puppies and stuff all the time.
Their tails just fall off, I assume its much the same theory?
They didn't complain at all, complained much more about the fact you had to hold them still, didn't seem to notice the rubber ring.
There were a few odd ones, that were still attached a bit. (but we just cut those off, and a bit of quikstop, ta-dah!)
Sheep and working dogs need their tails off though.
Humans foreskins, I'd see as kinda useful.
What if they want it later?
