I think I live too close to Malaysia… :eek:

That was probably me. I pinched a quite a bit larger hole in my penis/upper scrotum while changing out tong heads on a drilling rig. Much blood ensued, but like the OP I didn’t notice it right away. There was quite a bit of pain when it happened, but pain on a drilling rig is pretty much a constant. Never expected blood.

Actually, I meant Quartz. This happens often?! :eek:
You guys are way braver than me!
At least this didn’t happen to you.
[QUOTE=sockswsandals]
Well… that certainly ranks amongst the top ten most skin-crawlingly disturbing things I’ve ever read.

Oh, you’re relatively new here. Try this old thread, from 2002, if you want disturbing.!

Dude, that made my fingers and toes numb just thinking about it. I think I’d have fainted. :eek:
ETA: For posterity’s sake, this was post #5000.
Wondering if this is a common thing, I asked my husband just now “have your balls ever bled spontaneously?”
“Um. No. Why?”
“Well, apparently it happens.”
“I don’t go to the doc for many things, but my balls bleeding would be number one.”
That’s funny.
Boy with bleeding balls blames BBQ, bathroom bandage becalms blowout.
More importantly, which Korean BBQ place?

So they sent me to the Shouldice Clinic in Toronto
[/QUOTE]
…and they said “You Shouldice that ball sac and call us tomorrow”?
sorry, couldn’t resist…
Y’know Quartz, there were some of us really interested in an update, we just didn’t know how to, umm, ask.
I pulled my boxers off once and noticed that they were bloody. Humm, checked again and I didn’t have breasts, still couldn’t remember my mother’s birthday or any other signs of feminization so I ruled out a period.
Close examination showed that there was blood coming from a spot on the urinary meatus, (the opening of the urethra). I wasn’t in a particular relationship and was sexually active, and while I had tried to be careful, one never knows, so I hurried down to a local clinic.
It was my first visit to the clinic, so I had to fill in the questionnaire about the reason for going. After a brief internal debate, the desire to avoid causing watching the young receptionist’s reaction to “bloody penis” won, so I wrote “possible SD?”
The really nice doctor, (fortunately male) said that it was just a sore which could be caused by it rubbing against the boxers, and seems to happen more in the summer. He gave me a prescription for an ointment.
The drop-dead gorgeous pharmacist sort of smirked as she gave me the medicine, since the doctor had specified where it was to be applied.

So you asked her to demonstrate how it should be applied?

I certainly hope the occasion never arises, but I’ve been saving the Eddy Murphy line for many, many years, just in case -
“Doc, when I piss, fire shoot out my dick!”
Should be delivered as loud as possible.
“Why do you need to see the doctor today?”
“Fire shoot out my dick!”
“Very well, please have a seat”
A slight hijack but along the lines of men avoiding the ER/doctor:
Years back, my husband was working around the garage. He clipped a piece of wire (small gage) and the cut end hit him in the chest. It must have hit a vein because he had a small stream of blood pouring out. It wouldn’t stop so he went to the ER, which was very busy. After waiting a bit, he went home, got out his soldering iron and cauterized the wound. It stopped bleeding.
I wouldn’t recommend this for your scrotum, however.

A soldering iron? Hmmm.. I bet that woulda worked!
fetus, I don’t know the name of the restaurant… it was one of the Korean places off the 15 at Mira Mesa Blvd. Great food! Send me a PM… we’ll buy you dinner sometime! (if you like Korean food, that is…)
Come to think of it, the wife wanted to host the next San Diego Dopefest at a Korean restaurant… I started a thread: SD Dopefest
Just promise that you won’t have a bleeding scrotum when we get together. That’s all I ask!
Hey, a dude’s bleeding scrotum is his business. Who are we to say he can’t have a bleeding scrotum at a Dopefest?
