I read years ago that Japan's Kamikaze pilots would have wet rawhide strips wrapped around their testicles before take off. As it dried & shrunk, it caused great pain & made their decision to commit suicide easier. I've scoured the Internet for confirmation but find nothing. Did this really happen?

Any idea how old or crummy this unit is? I’m considering buying this house, but it looks pretty archaic.
