Yeah, if I were a man, I’d be at least a little concerned if a small hole suddenly appeared in my scrotum and I didn’t have any idea how it got there. I’d be doubly concerned about the bleeding. The bleeding may have stopped but that doesn’t necessarily mean all’s well. Get thee to a doc and get your boys checked out. ---

I would have thought that seeing a doctor if your scrot was bleeding for no reason was sort of a no-brainer… ---

[QUOTE=Spidey] 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. [/QUOTE] **Septima** hinted (“If that’s what I think it is…”) that this could be something serious. He didn’t say what something serious, though. **Septima** , perhaps you should email **Quartz** and tell him what it is he should be anxious about. ---

No, definitely don’t see a doctor. Wait until it fills with blood, since it can hold about half your blood volume, before it ruptures. It would hang down to about your knees. So, wait, it’ll be fun! 😃 ---

It aint holey no more ma’am. But despite not having ever had their product put to the test, I won’t part with them. They’re not known as jewels for nothing. ---

But what if the hair really did start to grow in the image of the Virgin Mary. Would people want to come and look at your balls? Would you be forced to put the boys on display for the devout among us? How would the pope react? Will your Scrotal Virgin Mary (band name!) actually weep? Tears or blood? Inquiring minds want to know. Holy Scrotum. ---
