To '''exsanguinate''' something is to drain it of [[Blood|blood]]. In the context of amateur home surgery, this may be done for two main reasons — first, it causes a large reduction in perceived [[Pain|pain]] levels (for some people quite if they're working on themselves), and second, it makes for a bloodless (or at least ''less blood'' procedure), thereby making it easier and safer to work.
[Barbells] are attached to [beads] via threaded rods. How they attach can vary.


While this might be used in procedures like home [[Amputation|amputation]], it is more commonly used during simpler procedures such as [[Subincision|subincision]]. It is achieved by wrapping cord or fabric like a tensor bandage around the end/top of the penis, and wrapping down to the base, squeezing out much of the blood. A tie (or [[Zipser Clamp|Zipser clamp]]) is left around the base to keep blood from returning to the penis. It is important to note that your body needs blood to survive, so you can't do this for too long. In addition, don't forget that once you've released the tie at the base, blood will return full force and will flow out of any wounds you've created.
There are two main kinds of '''threading''' used in the [body modification] industry. The top drawing shows an internally threaded barbell, where the bead screws into the bar. The bottom drawing shows an externally threaded barbell, where the bar screws into the bead. A subtype of external threading is step-down threading, where the threaded portion is of a smaller gauge than the main stem of the barbell - this can help prevent the threads catching on the [fistula] during insertion.

[Barbells] are attached to [beads] via threaded rods. How they attach can vary.

There are two main kinds of threading used in the [body modification] industry. The top drawing shows an internally threaded barbell, where the bead screws into the bar. The bottom drawing shows an externally threaded barbell, where the bar screws into the bead. A subtype of external threading is step-down threading, where the threaded portion is of a smaller gauge than the main stem of the barbell - this can help prevent the threads catching on the [fistula] during insertion.
