What Is That Line?

This question comes from Faithful Reader Stan:

"I have always wondered and have asked many, with no real answer. I have seen in numerous photos and in many men. The line that seems to always come between the left and right testicle. I have it, I’m certain you must have it. The question is….what is it, why is it there ? Something to do with birth?"

Not birth, it has to do with developmental gestation. At the moment of conception we are all female. (This is the reason men have nipples.) It remains so until the Y chromosome triggers a wave of testosterone within the fetus. Through that bath of male hormone, the clitoris turns into a penis, the ovaries become testicles, Fallopian Tubes develop into Spermatic Cords (Vas Deferens and Seminal Vesicles,) and the the labia majora (the outer lips of the vaginal area) close up to form the scrotum - and, thus, the line, or "seam" that you notice called the Middle Septum.

The odd thing is that there is no female counterpart to the Prostate. That is strictly a male component and, to my knowledge, there still is no idea as to why. Maybe it was given as a replacement for that missing rib. LOL.

Now, take a look inside and you'll find that each testicle is shrouded within the Tunica Vaginalis, which is enshrined by the External Spermatic Fascia. Those are to help keep the testicles separated from one another.  

It is the deformity of the Tunica Vaginalis which enables easy testicular torsion (twisted testicle) a very painful strangulation of the testes) in some men.

Nature is a wonderful thing, and the reason we shouldn't be ashamed of what we've been given.

We should be proud of it - because don't have anything which nature has not provided.

 It functions as nature intended.

Thanks for the question, Stan!

Grow Up

Fellow blogger Steve, over at All Natural & More, brought this to my attention with a post over the weekend. It appears that finding out a new ball team manager masturbates is cause for concern. What?!?!

We're speaking of an article from November 2017 in Deadspin, about Howard Eskin, sports anchor on Fox 29-TV, who is apprarently disturbed to find that the (then) new Phillies manager Gabe Kapler jerks off.

The information was gleaned from a post Kapler did on his website (kaplifestyle.com) blog in 2014 which reads:

"You’re moisturized and smelling tropical, your teeth are white and your face looks like you’ve just visited a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. The sun has set, and the moon is out. Perhaps you have a friend nearby, perhaps it’s just you by your lonesome…well, this is awkward. I’ve promised you authenticity, honesty and openness. Take this how you wish and I’ll spare you the step by step. Coconut oil is the world’s greatest lubricant. I can’t help where your mind goes with this. Once the ball leaves the bat, I can’t steer it."

Eskin had the temerity to ask in a live television interview if the team owners had second thoughts about hiring a guy who posted tips on masturbation. Both Kapler and General Manager Klentak gave carefully-worded, guarded answers. 

I think I would've looked at Eskin and responded,

"I'll dignify that question with two words: Grow up."

Searches for auto-fellatio (sucking your own cock) and auto-erotic asphyxiation (choking yourself when jacking off) have both brought recent page views. These two topics have been covered here once each (I think).

The former is pretty common - probably more common that you might think. It takes a limber body to be able to fold over like that. Having been a dancer, I can personally attest to the pleasure of it.

If you want to be able to self-suck you'll need to take Yoga or dance classes.

 But you'll have to stick with it because it takes time to limber up.

The latter, well, that's something which hides in the shadows. People don't admit to it very readily. Proponents say it makes the cock harder, thereby heightening the resultant orgasm.

Erections are a known side effect of strangulation / asphyxiation. It's the lack of oxygen that makes the cock get harder as blood rushes to organs to save them from death. 

It's the same thing with cold - the cock will retract as far into the body as it can, but it might also start to get hard to provide blood to preserve the organ.

Guys know that the harder their cock is, the more intense the sensations - particularly in the glans (the head of the penis). The more sensitive the cock, the better the ejaculation will feel when we cum.

Being alone for auto-erotic asphyxiation is not a good thing. The worst that can happen is fully depicted by actor Andy Devine in

No Way to Live

"I hope you can help. I've talked to my doctor and he says he finds nothing wrong. My balls hurt all the time. It's like a flip flop between feeling horny and then after I cum they ache but in a different way like I hurt them somehow."

Okay, this could be caused by a number of different things. We all understand the heaviness and ache telling us it's time to get our rocks off. But, the pain afterwards is more difficult to nail down. You don't say how you cum, only that you do. You also don't tell me how often you cum. This is why it is so important to tell our doctors everything. 

So, one possibility is that your balls are being bruised. They're bouncing and banging with either your thrusting, when someone is stroking your cock, or as you jack off. Now, I know many guys love the feel of their nuts slapping against something during sex. But too much of it, or too vigorously, can bruise them. So, the solution here is to ease up on the thrusting or stroking.

The second probability is that the Cremaster Muscles which surround and lift the testicles to push the sperm up into the seminal vesicles are overreacting. They can squeeze too hard, pulling almost to a point where they feel as if they'll crawl right back up into the inguinal canal.

There isn't much you can do about this, though I did read an account years ago (can't find it again) about a urologist snipping a bit of the Cremaster tendons on each testicle. Because most insurance companies will not cover such an "experimental" procedure, guys with over-achieving Cremasters are left to suffer or find other solutions. Try getting a cock ring of the type which will lift your balls away. That may - may - resolve the issue to a certain degree.

You could also try cupping them to hold them down when you cum.

The third possibility is that you're ejaculating a lot - meaning many multiple times per day, every day. Now, as much as we all love the idea of that, too much can do damage. It called too much of a good thing. Having your nuts squeezed over and over again is actually causing trauma to the tissue.

If you try the things I've suggested and still have trouble, you need to go back to your doctor and tell him exactly - in detail - what is happening. You may need a referral to a urologist. Either way, I hope you are able to find relief, because constantly aching nuts is no way to live. 

Anyone else have any suggestions?
