Some of these answers would be funny if not for the thought y'all believe it.
Anyone wear a BELT? Next time you see someone wearing a belt notice how they jump and spin and hop around. :-D
There is a flank strap. it is NOT a rope tightened around the genitals - that is a false statement by people who have never been to a rodeo. If they had they'd see it's not a rope - it's a leather strap usually with fleece on it - basily a belt. It is well in front of the genitals.
Furthermore - there is a way with ropes if it's tightened enough it touches nerves and renders the animal unable to move. This used to be done to work on animals on farms before cattle chutes were routine. If it were TIGHT ropes the bull would be unable to move.
The strap does not hurt them...it makes them buck higher. That's it. They're bred to buck and bred for attitude. For the brief time they are bucking there is absolutely no harm done to the animal.

DEFINATELY NOT! That's a huge myth! There is a rope called a flankstrap that is tied to the back end of the bull. It does not go on, or near, the genitals. It's purpose is to make the bucking smoother. Most bulls are now bred specifically to buck. They know their job and, as soon as the cowboy hits the ground (even with the flank strap still tight), they stop bucking and saunter out of the arena. At the PBR, there's a vet at all events in case of injury to the bull and PETA has also been known to stop by and check on things.

Not in North-America they don't, that would be cruelty to animals and rodeo would be shut down.

No. They are just wild becuase someone is rideing on them, which they are not used to, not becuase they are tied up in theere genitals.

The bulls are having so much fun that they are afraid of premature ejaculation... for sanitary reasons.
