    I had sciatica that seems to be progressing into cauda equina…basically now my buttocks, perineum, inner thigh, cock, asshole, and balls are all numb.

    So yeah, I am checking to make sure it’s still there.

    And also farts feel fucking weird.

        Yeah.

        My Ortho doesn’t seem to think so or maybe I’d get a fucking phone call back instead of me having to call his office twice a goddamn day and play phone tag with his receptionist.

        I called on Wednesday. He ordered an MRI yesterday that day and now it’s caught in hospital red tape.

        Had I gone into the ER I’d have some answers and a huge bill by now.

        I’m half guessing I’ll get a call on Monday saying I should’ve gone to the ER on Wednesday, but that’s why I fucking called in the first place.

        Edit: I called my ortho’s office/on-call and got through to him…he agrees that it’s worrisome but likely not an emergency unless also met with incontinence. He is rushing my MRI order and getting me started on a steroid.

              Oh, ok, well that sounds fine… But they get hard when they’re cold. Thinking about it, it’s kinda odd you don’t get hard when you’re cold too. (Or maybe you do, but I meant all guys.)

                  Because your nipples get hard due to the erectile muscles (same as goosebumps, a holdover from when we were hairier), and your scrotum is constantly adjusting to keep the ideal temp for sperm production/genital function.

            It’s rather the opposite, the shrinking makes for less small accidents because the junk gets less trapped or dangling in the way.

          Why? I just meant from the cold when it was already soft. Not shrinking back down from being hard.

          Edit: Ah, maybe I get it, I dunno… Hopefully that wasn’t offensive.

          • I meant the shrinkage from hrt lol but from personal experience the feeling of hrt shrinkage has been about what it felt like on cold days, minus y’know the cold feeling.

            That said, I think every testicular possessor knows that feeling when you pull out a pair of undies on a winter morning and the cold fabric pushes against them and you flinch in response. It’s not quite pain, but all your torso muscles contracting in reflex might be painful.

            Cold shrinkage, in my opinion, isn’t painful.

            Don’t worry about being offensive, I genuinely can’t think of how you could have been offensive with that comment.

        Being locally cold doesn’t make it shrink that much, being globally cold does. It’s a response to your core body temp primarily.

            Clean guys don’t. Clean guys stand there for 5 extra mins, wipe off with TP, then paper towels, then wash weenie in sink, then put under sanitizer dispenser and spray the sucker down. And if you don’t carry around bleach wipes you are a fool.

        • Lmao let’s not pretend urine doesn’t go anywhere but from urethra to toilet. The only people who would read this and think “no, my balls are definitely clean after work and using the bathroom x times today” are either incapable of critical thinking, or 6 and haven’t figured out how liquids work yet.

          Anyone with a penis knows shaking it doesn’t keep things clean, and that last little drop of pee likes to try and hang around. And that’s assuming you aren’t a grower who might actually be able to pee on their balls without meaning to.

          My dude, if you want to go around with a bunch of guys holding your balls for physical or emotional support, interacting with people who just moments before their hand met yours was also holding themselves, you go for it.

          Until then, maybe adjust yourself in the bathroom and wash your hands afterward.

          Put more pockets on/in women’s clothing to (partially) solve the second one. It IS incredibly convenient storage, but can get uncomfortable depending on the stiffness/shape of the item. It’s always fun to forget you tucked some money in there and find out you’re more rich than you thought when you take it off and the bills come fluttering to the ground. 😆

          (Also, almost nobody is going to try to steal it when it’s locked in the boob safe.)

            Purse? Clutch? I use a bag or backpack if I have stuff to carry that doesn’t fit in pockets, or I’m wearing sweats that only have two pockets. I know if I need more pockets to just not wear those though that day. It’s a choice to wear those limited clothes or to leave without something to carry it.

              You’re right, tits and balls are identical. Men go topless in public and now its time to lose those bottoms too. Let the boys breathe. Pave the way, friend.

              Comparing women’s breasts to genitals feels sexist, but I can’t put my finger on why. Why are women’s breasts here considered as dirty as genitals? None of this really sits right with me.

              I don’t know many women who keep things in their bras, but I also don’t know many men who have breast pockets. Only, I do. They’re on every polo shirt.

              I’m just tired of the inherent meanness. A man can scratch his nipples in public no big deal. Women are forced into this constraining contraptions because of societal standards and occasionally have to adjust so they’re not in pain and its disgusting. Equally as disgusting as scratching at your genitals… But women have genitals of their own and often wear constraining underwear and restrain themselves from adjusting unless they’re in a bathroom.

              Balls and tits do not equate. Balls and Labia equate. Nipples are nipples on men and women.

              To each their own.

                The problem is thinking it’s okay to do in public. Go to the bathroom like anyone else.

                Also a polo shirt has a degree of separation, stuffing stuff in a bra holds it against you creating a pocket of sweat as well.

                I would have a problem with anything held against the skin, don’t stuff things in a sock either.

                  Sure. Start going to the bathroom every time your nipple has an itch and we can start a productive conversation.

                  The problem is the inherent sexualization of breasts which make you feel like it should be a dirty act for a woman to adjust herself.

                  Breasts are not genitals.

                I wonder what it’d be like to have just the boys hanging out, berries but no dingle.

                Like a tube top for my peen (cock top?) and the nuts just get to dangle, but then you’d need some system to cover your butt. I guess a thong could work with a larger front.

                But then you’d basically just be reinventing a goose egg through your underwear. I don’t think the cock top idea would be very lucrative either

        I think balls have piss

        Only if you don’t shake it enough or don’t have proper hygiene

        and pubes

        Most men in modern times shave. Besides, there’s hair on your face too. Your lips is the same type of skin as your anus, how does that make you feel?

          The lips aren’t the same skin as your anus, its similar to the skin on the inside of your cheeks. No matter how much you shake it, there is going to be piss residue. I’m glad you shave. Best of luck to you.

        I doubt you’ve ever seen chimps fight but the first thing they do is go for the genitalia and then eyes. And if you’re ever fighting someone with balls I highly recommend attacking the balls as it’s the easiest way to take us down. There’s probably a mechanism for making us feel comfy and safe when we have a hand on them protecting them
