Well no one seems to have mentioned the Skoptsi so I guess I'll mention them. I'd google it and pretend to show you all how smart I am, but I'm lazy and I'll just mention it from memory. If memory serves me correct all initiates had to castrate themselves. All mannor of implements were tried. Some died as a result, but hey! Loose them balls and you can be a lifetime member. Heaven's Gate also encouraged these shinanigans.
While I'm on the subject I guess I'll mention the Haitian Voodoo cult that requires initiates to cut half a finger off that they put in a big jar with all the other severed fingers. I had heard about them for a while with some scepticism until they showed the capture of some guy on America's Most Wanted.
Sure nuf! He had half a finger missin. Okay now you can all argue and do my research for me and I'll take credit. Thanks.

Credo Mutwa claims he had to eat a severed hand to complete his Zulu initiation.

Since we're talking about no nuts, it is interesting and perhaps significant that the Freemasons wear the apron which is a way of "making the playing field level." Perhaps this is too far out, too psych-babble. But it is interesting to note that the Masons are to be equal in the lodge room, thus there would be no penis measuring.
