Insomnia sucks, so here’s a tale of a few days ago. I think it may even be my first TMI thread. A few days ago, in the morning, before dressing, I was at my PC - the SDMB was even one of the open sites. Gradually, I began to feel uncomfortable. I put my hand in my lap and felt moisture, I looked and there was blood over my legs, my groin, my chair… _everywhere_. :eek: And the pool was growing. :eek: :eek: A quick trip to clean up in the bathroom, and I find that the blood is coming out of my scrotum! There’s no cut, it’s coming out of a small hole. :eek: Fortunately it’s seeping, not pumping. So I apply a compress in the form of a towel, and hold it there for half an hour or so. I return to the PC to distract myself. One-handed surfing indeed! ---

Here’s a thought - have a doctor look at your punctured and bleeding scrotum? Pretty sure it’s not supposed to have holes in it! ---

Were you feeling all puffy and moody, did you feel like just lying down, eating some Ben & Jerrys, and watching the “Gibson Girls”? If so then you’ve got menstruating penis. ---

When I was about 10 years old, I found out that: 1. My neighbors’ cat likes to sleep in people’s laps. 2. Sneezing scares the cat. Scared lap cats are a bad thing. They use their claws for a quick getaway. ---

When you get back from the ER please let us know what it was. No more posting until you get to a doctor. Shoo! ---

Do you shave your junk? If so, you could have given yourself a tiny cut and not even felt or noticed it until it started bleeding. I don’t shave but I occasionally trim, and I have done that before. ---

It was a few days ago, and the bleeding had stopped after half an hour or so. All has been well since. ---

Well you could go see a doctor, or you could ask someone to kiss it and make it better. (P.S. go see a doctor. Then get someone to kiss it.) ---

Man, what’s with all this doctor talk? As long as a nut didn’t drop out that hole, why bother some guy with a bloody, scraggly old bean bag. Pour some whiskey on it and walk it off. ---

Umm, why should I see a doctor? I probably nicked it with a fingernail sometime earlier. It looks perfectly healthy. ---

If you nicked your scrotum with your fingernail with enough force to spill a pool of blood, I daresay you’d have remembered it. 'Fess up. What were you diddling around with? We promise we won’t tell.
