I once needed a girlfriend to shave my buttocks for medical reasons and I felt more comfortable wrapping my testicles with a small towel so they were both out of the way of the razor and also weren’t constantly in her face. Heh, for “medical reasons” indeed. ---

The third picture has it stretched out. I can only think about what happens if you put it on stretched and then have it slip off. _ouch_ And why are there mint leaves floating around it? As for privacy, only if you write your passwords down there and have to protect them from prying eyes. Unless they mean it comes in a plain brown wrapper - with SEX TOY written in 42 point font on it. ---

Actors who do sex scenes cover up their naughty bits before the action begins. Maybe this is one of those things insisted upon by female actors before they will do a scene with the man? But the size seems enormous in the first product image… maybe some men have coconut sized balls? :eek: ---

> [@mandala](#): > > …maybe some men have coconut sized balls? :eek: I did. But that was because of a scrotal hernia, which I had corrected via surgery. A loop of intestine slipped down inside my scrotum, and as food passed through the intestine, my scrotum would swell to five or ten times normal volume. Then as the food continued along the intestine, things would return to normal size. It didn’t hurt, exactly, but it felt very strange. Now I have a mesh that holds things in place. And an area of skin with no feeling, because they had to cut a nerve to do the operation. The operation was done at the Shouldice Clinic north of Toronto, which was a fancy private clinic that was grandfathered in when OHIP started. You could go there and use your OHIP card to get served, like in any other Ontario hospital. The place was really fancy though, like some kind of French château. A while before the operation, the nurses came to me and gave me a very small white pill. I then had to wait, and about an hour later they came with a wheelchair to take me down to the operation room. The effect of the pill was very strange. I was perfectly aware of things around me. But I had no initiative. I was happy with taking orders: get in the wheelchair, get on the bed, etc. But I just didn’t _care_ about things. They could have pushed me out the window, and I would have watched the ground approaching with mild interest. “Oh, that’s neat.” _SPLAT_ The operation was done under local anaesthetic. They erected a barrier around my stomach, and I could see the doctors and nurses moving around and listen to their conversations about their golf games and kids and what’s for dinner. I could feel pulling and tugging sensations as they worked, but nothing hurt. The pill, whatever it was, made me simply not care. The operation took about 45 minutes (I could see the clock), but it felt like 15. Then they wheeled me back to my room and put me in bed. I fell asleep. And later, I woke up hurting. ---

I’m wondering if it might be some sort of device to constrain your balls when you get a blowjob to keep them from bopping your partner’s face. But it’s probably just a sex restraint device like latex suits. Restrictive and constraining. > [@CalMeacham](#): > > If you look up the other products from AnSuke you find a “High Quality Red and Black Suit, Comfortable and Safe,” which it certainly doesn’t look. It includes a mask and what looks like a paddle for walloping the wearer. > > [Amazon.com : AnSuke](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=AnSuke&ref=bl_dp_s_web_0) That’s not a suit, it’s a _set_.

I could feel pulling and tugging sensations as they worked, but nothing hurt. The pill, whatever it was, made me simply not care. I once had a birthmark removed from my butt under local anesthetic. I didn’t get one of those pills you describe, but what I remember about the surgery was what you describe about feeling sensations of tugging and pulling, but no pain. It feels strange. ---

You’d think that they’d put a leather lined plate at the bottom with a spring release catch attached to assist with removal. “Here, let me take off my ball-kevlar.” \< Sproing…!\> ---

And it can ship via Prime!! Just spotted this on the link: “Satisfy your curiosity about what you’re eating” (followed by ‘Just ask, “Alexa, what are the benefits of eating broccoli?” Learn more about what you can do with Alexa’, which isn’t nearly as funny) - seems like this would make it _harder_ to do so… 😛 There’s another rating now - from someone who complains about the vendor, not the product. Totally unfair 😃 Amazon’s search function really sucks sometimes. I’ve told this before but about 9 years back, I was searching for some craft supplies for Girl Scouts. There’s a type of large-ish plastic bead called a pony bead, and I needed a packet of them, in a particular shade. The search term “pony bead red” turned up some relevant things, as well as a butt-plug with a genuine horse-hair tail, for “pony play”. At least one of the words in the description matched what I was seeking, sort of… unlike the OP here!! I posted about it on Facebook at the time - without listing what turned up, I just posted the search terms. The responses were hysterical. “OMG!!! I’m dying here!!! and there’s only one left in stock!!! \” “Only one left in stock!!! Go for it … you can play a guessing game … “what would this be used for??”” “Pin the tail on the…never mind.” “I don’t know, I bet those could be useful for the GS troop in a Rule 34 kinda-way. Oh yecch, I went there. I feel dirty. I’m going to go take a shower” “I just want to know what kind of (supposedly GS) operation you guys are operating this year! And what kind of “cookies” are you selling?” ---
