Are the BME Pain Olympics real?

Answer 1

BMEBME stands for 'Body Modification Ezine' or 'Body Modification Extremism.'

The site called BME is focused on activities of this nature: tattoos, body scarring, skin stretching, ritual burning, piercings etc...

There is indeed an official BME Pain Olympics, although many people debate whether a video titled 'Final Round,' is real or fake. The video depicts genital mutilation as part of the BME Olympic Games and has been banned by numerous websites, including WikiAnswers.

Opinions from WikiAnswers Contributors:

• I would assume that there would be some sort of contest to see how far some people would go....only I don't believe they had intended it to go as far as it did in its so called "Final Round"

• BME is very real and some people go VERY far (disturbingly so) in practicing it. Any body modification is a form of BME (tattoos, scarring, branding, even some BDSM type stuff). If you look over the BMEzine website, you'll see some pretty gross images.

• The supposed "final round" video is what I assume you are talking about, the one where the guys lops off his "member" and little buddies. It's obviously clay or something, if you look at the size of the hole and the way that he cuts into it (like a hot knife through butter) it's pretty obvious. I will say though that if you go to spankwire.com, you will find a particularly disturbing one that kind of comes close and is 100% real...NSFW, BTW.

• No, it's fake. The amount of blood loss when removing the penis would be far greater, even with proper tourniquets applied. Reason being is when the penis becomes erect as shown, the two corpora cavernosa (two tubular muscles) are filled with blood. So with the increase of blood flow to the penile region and decreased outflow, the amount of blood coming from the severed limb would be quite substantial. NOTE::: they DID TIE up their "things".. for a while, probably to prevent the blood flow? Also one must take into consideration the mindset of the individuals who undergo such extreme procedures. Often it is seen as an evolution of ones' self, hence the term body modification.

• When all is said and done, stuff like this is not hard to fake by any means. Anyone with a working knowledge of special effects, anatomy, and an imagination can pull it off. No evolution is present in either of the subjects in the video; each is devoid of any genital piercing/play or scaring of any kind. The cuts are inexperienced, as many subjects have contemplated the acts far in advance, figuring out details, until thought becomes action. One can be lead to believe that the motives of such acts are unrelated to body modification.

• 2 paraplegic guys did it.. (paralyzed from waist down) so it is real just not much blood and no pain to them, they are paralyzed there so not much else to do than make a completely disgusting video.

• IT IS REAL
