Suppose a fella took a large quantity of MDMA, and in the middle of some important business he was surprised to find that his had scrotum tightened up completely and his boys decided to hang out (or rather not hang out) way up inside his body, where they ordinarily do not venture.
If somebody reported such an experience to you, and additionally reported that while everything appeared to work properly, it took much longer than normally expected to finish his business (although he says he’s not sure if this was a purely physical thing or if it was related to the fact that he couldn’t quite stop wondering where his testicles were or if he’d ever see them again) what information would be important to relate to such a person?
Imagine that the fella, while understandably nonplussed at the time, appears to be mostly unconcerned since he woke up the next day to find that everything was swinging just so.
What does this guy need to know, in order to:[ul][li]Explain to his satisfaction what exactly happened to him, pharmacologically and physically.[]Ensure the continued normal function of his gonads.[]Set his mind at ease or utterly terrify him, as appropriate.[/ul][/li]Let me be perfectly clear that these are not my balls we’re talking about here. One embarrassing thread about my goodies in five years is more than enough.
Well, for what it’s worth in my experiences with X (about 6-8 times), that never quite happened, however:
Assuming you are talking about masturbating, this is very normal. MDMA suppresses bloodflow to the genitals, making it extremely difficult to maintain an erection and reach climax.
WAG, from what I’ve heard the testicles retreating into the body happens when they are a bit chilly. MDMA definitley affects your body temperature, and while it tends to warm you up, perhaps still somehow this is a result of said change in body temperature beyond my comprehension.
On second thought, reading my own post, perhaps it is the lack of bloodflow to that area that causes them to feel cold and retreat? Now that I think about it, I never really examined their status in detail while I was experiencing the effects of X. I don’t mean retract what I said, but I’d like to get the record straight.
Erm! I remember some long time ago someone telling me one of the things that martial art experts learn to do is push their testicles up inside so as to keep them out of harms way during a combat situation. :eek:
As I understood it this practice took some time and practice to achieve but was possible.
I don’t know if this is actually true but if it is it means there is room for them “inside” in which case they could “disappear” under certain situations.
Here’s a wonderful (and reliable) source of information regarding MDMA.
I browsed it a bit but couldn’t find anything specifically mentioning this issue, but you may.
Another thing to keep in mind though is that pills being sold as “Ecstacy” are notoriously impure, and rarely contain pure 100% MDMA. So without knowing exactly what he took, nobody can really tell you exactly what the effects may be.
Actually, your link (Erowid) links to the now-dormant EcstasyData site that shows 569/1500 pills as pure MDMA i.e. 38%. The sample is not random, depending on volunteers to send pills, which rules out 95% of users, and the samples sent, in many cases, are probably those with aberrant effects, hence skewing the results.
I recall a scary degree of scrotal shrinkage when I use to dally with amphetamine. Though it never went so far as total inversion… my ‘WAG’ would be speed in his pill.
Well, I don’t consider 38% to be a very strong percentage. But you’re probably right about the results being a little skewed. If I had good X I wouldn’t be sending it away for testing.
in case anyone wanted a series of posts that might indicate some reasons to read a book or build model airplanes or listen to music or get a relatively safe hobby for those times when one is moderately bored…
