You are camping with your mate far away from civilization without any medicines or anyway to contact anyone real soon and your friend gets bitten by a venomous snake on the penis. Would you let him die or would you suck the venom out of the penis and help your mate survive?

I think I'd look at him, and say......."Dude what horrible luck. No one is going to believe this story when I get back home."

Sucking the venom out is not a good idea. May be best to make a tourniquet. The penis is spongy material that engorges with blood when aroused. I think that sucking the venom out would be pretty risky. Nevertheless, it does not help to suck venom from anywhere on the body. Use a tourniquet.
You are asking if a moral judgement is made when the manner to save a life is in opposition to the "Christian" thing to do. Likely you are not a Christian?For I dont believe you would mock God with this question.
Suicide is contrary to the will of God. But someone with a gun that has one bullet only and the gunman says he is going to shoot it aimed at your loved one, if you step between or successfully implore the gunman to kill you instead, have you committed suicide?
Snakes are deadly. If you are considering this scenario because of an upcoming camping trip, then you would be wise to be prepared for any emergency.
But we all know you're not, and we all know you've had your fun.

Actually, sucking out the venom is not a good thing to do, so I opt to sit there and watch him die. And it would excite him.
" NEVER suck out venom with the mouth. The person sucking poison from the wound with his/her mouth will absorb the poison through his/her gums the same way a person absorbs nicotine from chewing tobacco. Further, the human mouth carries at least 42 species of pathogen† and this action could give the snakebite victim a major infection.
Don't excite the victim or allow him/her to walk if avoidable. Doing so will increase venom circulation. "

You should suck the venom out of the penis and help your mate survive.
That would be the christian thing to do

Cute question. Reminds me of a joke I once heard.
The old "suck the venom out" maneuver is relegated to the past. One of the few proven techniques is the "Australian pressure immobilization technique. This involves immediately wrapping the entire bitten extremity with a crepe bandage, elastic bandage, or article of clothing as tightly as for an acute sprain. This is followed by splinting with any available object. Depending on the size of your friend's penis this may or may not be somewhat difficult.
In addition to the Australian technique you should place the victim at rest, offer reassurance, and provide expeditious transport to the nearest facility equipped to handle such an emergency.

the christian thing to do would be to judge him, then explain how you sooooooo much better of a person then anyone else in the whoooole world because you believe in the correct invisible man in the sky, then let him die and cover it up somehow. If your mate is a little boy just find a priest, I'm sure he would be happy to suck out the venom.

Cut his penis off before the venom spreads.

That's an old joke that goes like this:
The Lone Ranger gets bit there and tells Tonto to ask the doc what to do. The doc tells him the venom must be sucked out. Tonto rides back and the Lone Ranger asks, "Well, what did he say...?" Tonto replies, "Him say you gonna die, Kimosabe..." Bah dum-dum...

Dude, I don't know how that'd happen, but since neither of you would be thinking about it sexually AND since you're both christian and therefore straight, you'd suck the venom out.

Don't be silly...if you aspirate the venom out yourself...you could die too....do not believe all that you hear....look it up yourself.
