Further to what **Crusoe** says, I think an employee in a non-customer service role could be in for trouble if the voluntary saline infusion resulted in them not being able to adequately perform their function (i.e. a data-entry clerk saying “I can’t use my computer today because I am unable to sit down”).

In any case, I strongly suspect that people doing this would just call in sick the next day.

I did a Google search on “saline and scrotum”, and I have to say that this is the most bizarre and incomprehensible thing I have seen in quite some time. (I love this board!)

I saw this on TV (UK - Channel 4). It’s real. The people who do it are nuts, as is the (cute) lady doctor who administers it.

It doesn’t last forever - the saline is absorbed into the body after a few hours. And it’s usually part of a D/s or BD ritual - not something most people get into right before leaving for the office.

**Sailor** Hood Splitting??? Oh. My. God. For some creepy reason it makes me think of the movie _Seven_

Going to be sick now.
