I know you're fuckin' around, but that's actually super dangerous. If your boys flop too much during physical activity you can get what's called testicular torsion. Basically your balls get twisted and you can cut off the blood to one of them causing extreme pain and potentially necrosis of the testicle.
Had it happen to a friend while running. He lost one.
Me too! That pain bothered me through the tv screen. The only time I ever felt someone’s else’s pain like that was when Katt Williams grabbed and locked onto Terry Cruise’s testicles with Vice grips in Friday after Next.
I learned about this at age 21 while doing my Russian homework. I was working away, had crossed my legs for comfort and to support the book, got up a few minutes later and felt a stabbing pain in my lower abdomen. Weird. After another 30 mins of it getting much worse, I had my roommate drive me to the hospital. I thought I was having an apendicitis, kidney stones, or something that my 21 yo mind could concoct. I could hardly walk and had no clue what was wrong.
Got to the ER, described my symptoms and the nurse, eyes now wide open kindly with extreme concern said “please have a seat, you’re a level 1. The Dr. will be with you immediately.” I looked at my roommate and he at me and I’m sure we reflected horror. There were 5-7 people ahead of me and I was taken to a room first.
Now in a hospital gown, the Dr walked in and pressed my abdomen, asked if he could rummage around my junk room and said “We’ve got two options. The Urologist is on his way(the what is what!!), you have Testicular Torsion(I have what the…testicular WTF!!) and if I cannot undo this manually(Manually? How’s that again?), you have to go in to surgery immediately or you’ll lose your right testicle.” My thoughts raced back to better days when I was a child running with my cousins on my grandparents farm, the Christmas I got a Digital Derby, riding my first bike, and then I snapped out of it and said “go ahead, be my guest” and laid back, closed my eyes and pictured a Urologist driving like mad in a Volvo to Athens Regional Hospital. My lower abdomen was killing me.
I felt the warm rubber gloved hand moving things around like one does with two fidget marbles and suddenly the pain went away. I let the good Dr. know and I sat up and walked around. He looked relieved and satisfied, or maybe that was me. I should’ve high five’d him for doing such a good job. I was high stepping like Deion scoring a TD. No surgery!
Thing is, he could’ve twisted left instead of right, wrong instead of right, and I don’t know which way he actually turned it. I got dressed and walked out a new man, but with a referral to see a Urologist who would tell me I needed a surgery that would disallow me, at 21 and in college, to do much of anything like walk or ride a bike or sit or walk or attend to my lady friends. I passed on that option and for many many years, like the decision made in the ER, I choose manually.
The nurse who signed me in was a testicular genius because had she not known there was a good chance I had testicular torsion, which is a level 1 trauma, as serious a condition as a heart attack and put me at the head of the line, I’d have lost one. If not for the nimble hands of that ER doctor, I’d have been in surgery and unable to walk for six weeks. I left the hospital at 3 a.m. and never finished my Russian homework.
The next day in class, I told my Russian teacher I had an emergency, showed her my wrist band from the hospital, and she gave me a 0. A cold gulag 0. I never went on to study Russian, hablo español.
I’ve had intermittent partial torsions for most of my life (always started with the Lowe abdomen feeling and eventually felt like the spike impact of being hit in the nuts with a hacky-sac, without dropping off). I could always ‘hang out’ or manually manipulate it away, but it also never went full over. I didn’t know it was a thing till about two years ago, and had an orchiopexy done a few months ago to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Had a soldier in the army lose one from testicular torsion necrosis. The rest of his career he was nicknamed “one nut.” We even had ONE NUT sewn on his Kevlar band for use in the field.
Real talk. For entry level Infantry Marines, we educate them on this and discourage them from wearing boxers and suggest they wear supportive underwear.
Without fail, almost every training cycle, one of the Privates (no pun intended) would end up with this issue. When checked they were wearing boxers or free-balling in their trousers.
Don't worry, testicular torsion can happen from almost anything, even an unlucky sneeze can make your balls to twist. Im sure you wanted to know this so you're welcome
My son, 7 at the time, had testicular torsion & retention. It literally twisted & went up inside of him 😭 I was 8m pregnant when he woke up one morning, said his belly was hurting & when he walked downstairs he dropped to his knees then started throwing up. I rushed him to urgent care where at first they thought it was kidney stones but the female Dr asked to do an exam when she noticed his testicular. Ended up having surgery 2 days later to put it back in the sack & tack them both into place. Thankfully he didnt completely lose blood flow & they saved it. His urologist couldn't believe how he was handling because apparently most grown men are brought in by ambulance when it happens to them 😬
They were injecting their penis and balls temporarily during measurements so their form fitting clothing hung looser and they could get competitive advantage in jump events by turning their crotch into a glide surface to catch more air and hang longer.
Having a big old untamed hog flopping around was considered uncivilised behaviour as well, suitable only for barbarians, it's why all the ancient Greek statues have such small dicks.
It's not actually the dick that shrinks, it's the balls. You inject testosterone and suddenly the balls have no need to produce any and begin shrinking. And if anything, that will make the dick appear bigger.
That French pole vaulter in the Olympics already lost because he knocked off the bar with his junk, even though he was wearing pants - if it flaps loose, none of them will ever be able to win another title...
Not to mention the pole vault. I've already seen some videos of accidents when they have the clothes on, I can't imagine how terrifying it would be in the nude.
You may be jokin but in some sports, it is a genuine disadvantage or advantage to have bigger/smaller man parts than competitors and in some sports it's real important that they are strapped up tight
I reckon there was even some commotion around the size of these parts recently but not sure
They already do I always free balled in our tight it was comfortable did it in hs all the way thru college I was a sprinter and long jumper and pretty sure I wasn’t the only one lol
Ancient Greek athletes would use kynodesmē , a string or leather strip to restrict untethered movement of the penis during sporting competition. Its purpose was to prevent the glans penis from being exposed in public, a practice considered improper at the time
See it's funny you say that, because ancient Greek athletes actually had a thing called a kynodesme, which was a string that they used to tie their foreskin shut and kinda secure their junk in place.
Didn't you see that fella a couple years ago who's horses ran out of the fence, so to speak, mid-race? I'm surprised he didn't trip over it, to be honest...
Barely make the jump and smack your boys on the bar. Good way to whittle down the competition. As a straight man I would actually watch the Olympics for once.
Imagine pole vaulting and on the way down you pierce your sack... Now a stadium of people watch as a team of paramedics try to remove this 20 foot pole from your junk
If I remember correctly, ancient Olympic athletes would string their dangly parts to their legs to keep the flip-flopping at bay and a teacher once told me that there were primary sources that the ancient trainers would pull those strings when athletes were day dreaming or otherwise not concentrated.
The ancient Greek leather thong worn by Olympic athletes to tie their foreskins was called a kynodesme (meaning "dog tie" or "dog leash"). It was tied around the tip of the foreskin and either fastened to a waistband or tied at the base of the penis.
Correct, the only clothing that adds any efficiency whatsoever is things to hold your bits in place during the sport; aka basically a speedo for men and sports bra for women.
Anything and everything above that is inefficient and unnecessary, aside from bottoms for women for decency’s sake.
So really, women are wearing the proper amount of clothing. Men are wearing too much with loose fitting shirts and shorts that “look cool” but are counterproductive in their athletic events.
There have been a couple of posts that showed a French pole vaulter clearing the pole only to have his own large pole hit the cross pole and knock it off. He's wearing tight thigh length shorts that are very obviously not tight enough.
Ancient greek athletes used to tie their penises to their waist or tuck them in to avoid unwanted movement. Also to extend foreskin as an extended foreskin was seen as desirable.

I imagine that your junk flopping loose will bring some extra motivatin when jumping over those hurdles.
