what's happening to our borad TMI

get demmm

Good luck with the ailing, man.

hey guys are you ready for some real deal tmi?

i was gonna go to bed but i will stay up for this

ok so

When I was young (under 10) I developed and had surgery for a hydrocele, I think they said it was due to a natural hernia where the tube that went to my ball opened? got real big and they had to drain it, whatever

it returned in adulthood and was fine until it wasn't fine and started becoming annoying. it didn't hurt, it just got in the way, you know? crossing legs, riding a bike, wearing tight jeans, etc. I talked to a urologist abt surgery abt a year ago when my right ball was abt the size of a clementine (the ball itself was normal but the sac around it had filled w fluid to abt the size of a clementine) and I slacked on getting an ultrasound and making follow up appts and then scheduling it so I only JUST had the surgery for it today. Over the past year it had grown to about the size of a kiwi.

so anyway I got the surgery today!! my balls are now matching size and it's great, except for that they shaved my pubes and balls and i hate it and when i look at my scrotum i feel like what the dad in eraserhead must have felt like when he looked at his baby

also I have to keep ice and pressure on it, and it's unfortunate to have to apply pressure to your balls.

congratulation

i am not a ball sack doctor but dollars to ball sacks says your pubes grow back

i had surgery for that when i was two. guess they wanted to get it out of the way before they had to shave my sack

I was expecting way worse stevie but congrats anyway

Anything related to a man’s jewels is a delicate subject

yes gbx but WHEN!!!

*checks watch, holds finger aloft*

when i look at my scrotum i feel like what the dad in eraserhead must have felt like when he looked at his baby

🥝 🥝 💚

yes on the stevie scale i would give this a rating of mundane: not too much information
i fell asleep before i got to read it because i took a nonprescription sleep aid

it returned in adulthood and was fine

Did you mean to say 'fun'?

This one went flat

as twere

It was a joke about the reduction of the spherical mass of stevies testicle

I thought this board was all about listicles

Lessticles

elective ball reduction, impressive

good luck with the recovery, stevie.

a buddy of mine had mumps and one of his testicals grew to the size of a tennis ball. when it shrunk back down it became smaller than before, and never regained its full size

now thinking all kinds of things about testicle size

were mine always this size? are they bigger or smaller than they were a few years ago? what size are they even supposed to be

mysteries of the universe

Someone took a picture of 1 year old infinity buck naked and I’m here to inform you that testicle size does indeed change

ah c'mon man you know I meant over the course of adulthood

oh the always threw me off

kinda weird how the nutsack does the equivalent of holding oneself in one's arms tightly when it gets cold

you mean the... cremaster cycle

to be fair the testicle itself was always the same size, it was just surrounded by an unwanted balloon of fluid

if you want something less mundane you can read abt me fisting someone's shitty asshole during an awkward threesome with my platonic gay bestie

I Lost A Coughdrop in His Asshole: The ILX Gays TMI Thread

i remember once grossing my wife out by showing her the cremasteric reflex

eh?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremasteric_reflex

apparently the testicles contract when they they are "stroked" or "poked"

this is not how my parts function

i will test this though

you stroke the inner thigh, not the testicles themselves. and then the testicles contract. it's fairly subtle but in my case visible.

stroking my inner thigh does nothing for my balls

well i hope they're still under warrantee

ilx user god?

would you like to explain this?

lol @ Stevie making sure to link the post where he started with "ok so"

this is not how my parts function

Same here. WTF is this even?

So why (hy hy hy hy) don't you use it?
Try (ry ry ry ry) not to bruise it.

GIS for cremasteric reflex is predictably fun

The diagram on Wikipedia is totally different.

(xp) tried that and it didn't work either.

it's like tickling, where most people can't tickle themselves and make it have the same effect iirc

you have to have matthew barney show you how I guess, just watch all five films

(xp) OK there's a reddit thread (of course) and one of the posts says basically that.

I had no idea about this physical stimulation reflex thing, I just meant going from a hot room to a cold room

it's friiidayy

Apparently the reflex is also used an indicator in cases torsion of the texticle, which reminds me that in an episode of LA Law that happened to Corbin Bernsen's character.

i pulled my groin a while ago as i explained in this very thread but i don't think that has anything to do with my lack of cremasteric reflex

Oh wow, I was familiar with the reflex but didn't know its name. Cool.

I am amused by the idea this thread has a bunch of lads out there stroking their own legs and staring at their balls in bafflement.
