Ball Lift?

Good morning.

"Is there such a thing as a ball lift? Mine hang very low and I hate wearing underwear because there's never enough room. But when I don't I have to be very careful or I sit on my balls. I don't have to tell you how painful that is. I'd like to get my balls lifted but is there such a thing?"

So many men do ball stretching because they want those low-hangers, not realizing the trouble they could be asking for. Sitting on your testicles isn't only painful, it can rupture one or both. That kind of damage can sometimes require them to be completely removed.

Yes, there is such a procedure, called Scrotoplasty. According to Cleveland Clinic:

"People with enlarged scrotums may find sexual activity, exercise or other physical activities uncomfortable due to their scrotums getting in the way.
Scrotoplasty can also improve the appearance of the scrotum for many patients. As a scrotal lift, this procedure can tighten the scrotal tissue, resulting in a tighter and small[er] overall presentation."

Healthline says:

"Scrotoplasty can also help people with large scrotums by making them smaller. People with enlarged scrotums may find sexual activity, exercise or other physical activities uncomfortable due to their scrotums getting in the way, but also for medical reason, such as injury."

It is often most done to remove Scrotal Web - what guys call Turkey Neck - where the sac is attached high up on the shaft. 

The issue there is it can impede sexual function, such as preventing full penetration.

You'll want to make an appointment with a urologist who can refer you to the proper surgeon.

Question About Balls

Good morning.

It's that day of the month.

Time for

BUDDY BALL CHECK

Your reminder to check your balls!

And we have a question about balls.

"To follow up from an earlier exchange we had about low-hangers, I saw a long-term acquaintance in the gym showers some months ago. His didn't reach his knees, but they didn't seem far off. I decided to be brave and I said that I couldn't help but notice...  he laughed and said that while swinging low was great for some things, his experience of practical life was that they cause problems in sitting down anywhere, but especially in cars, underwear and clothing were not easy, and they were generally trouble IRL.  ... I apologised for taking up his time with such a bizarre question; he replied that he was glad to have helped and we parted. ...  I have decided against ball stretching but thank you for sharing the current ideas and for enabling your commenters to share their experiences too.  I know that you're interested to know what your readers do with their information but no action is needed. Thanks for all that you do for us all. - M" 

I can't imagine how you could miss noticing that. And, yeah, when the balls are loose it feels good when they bounce during sexual activity.

Ball stretching is done by placing large metal or leather rings above the testicles, increasing the size or distance over time.

Some guys add weights.

I don't suggest it. Low hangers can seem or look impressive but they can be a pain. Literally.

A friend of mine from the theatre sat on his getting into his car, and thought he'd ruptured one. Off to the ER to find no permanent damage.

I urge anyone considering altering their hang to accept them just the way they are.

Ball Stretchers

 

In the words of my grandmother, "It may end up being something you'll have to live with. Forge on." Despite the eye issues, I shall try to post when I can. Wearing sunglasses at all times does help.

A question came in about ball stretching.

"Do you have a view on ball stretchers?  Someone at my local gym was wearing a set and I asked him about them: it was apparently his lockdown project.  Do you or your readers have any experience with these?  They look like something which needs to be handled carefully."

I know they're available in all manner of materials from leather to metal.

While I don't have any personal experience with them, I know that they're mainly used for aesthetic purposes. Guys like the look --- well, okay, and the feel --- of low hangers.

What they do is stretch the scrotum and the vesicles, etc.

Medically, they can be used to treat hyper-retractile testicles. The balls pull up during ejaculation. 

With hyper retractile testicles, the balls yank up so hard and fast and far, the pain can be enough to deter a guy from sex.

I had this problem myself, years ago. It felt like my balls were trying to crawl up the inguinal opening and being squeezed in a vise. I told my doctor I would grab them and hold them down when I came.

His response was "That's not a good idea, that can cause bruising." He prescribed Proscar (which is typically for enlarged prostate issues) and suggested more lubrication might be needed.

So, we're looking for answers here, guys. Any Faithful Readers know anything about them, the Do's and Don'ts on using them?
