BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Hey, if Klingons can have redundant hearts, I don’t see why humans shouldn’t have redundant nuts. You know, I’d go so far as to say that it’s a message from God that it’s OK if you want to mess with them and, hey, if you lose one, have fun doing it because you have a backup.

    I’m impressed his balls really do hang low, they wobble to and fro, and he can tie them in a knot, I wonder if he can tie them in a bow…..

    Wait, are your nuts already separate or did he like, split them?

    i’m entertained that no one has said anything about his balls being split.

    From the BMEvideo.com footage this still came from..

    “The left transcrotal is now stretched to two 19mm rings.

    The right transcrotal is stretched to a 30mm ballweight and a 19mm ring.”

    I have to agree with #1, I love the subtle, sometimes almost hidden tags on some ModBlog entries best.

    I saw this in the morning the day after it was posted… Later that day, I was walking to a friends house and I walked past a white collar guy standing next to his BMW and he said, “You can’t keep all your eggs in one basket.” I fucking cracked UP!

    I wonder how long this took to achieve? The ball stretcher forum could use his input for sure! http://iam.bmezine.com/iamforum.exe?cmd=chatview&tprm=zzbksvtop6ru9fqg

    In reply to #19, rings up to 19mm can be found at Wildcat
    In reply to #13, my nuts were always in one basket until I decided 2 baskets are more efficient for cooling.
    In reply to ’22, it did not take long probably about 4 months cutting about an inch at a time and never allowing the cut to heal properly before doing the next cut
