Hot Balls! Don’t drop them!

You may have seen these in the weekend’s BME/HARD update, but because Phil doesn’t read German I don’t think the explanation was posted.

‘J’ had a rather nasty injury when a CBT game went too far — after tying off his nuts, he temporarily immersed them in boiling water. Unfortunately it was a bit much, and the skin was badly burned, leaving him with an open scrotum — it took nearly three months to heal. He’s fine, but I think will definitely set a lower time limit for nut roasts!

    Or, one could say “Great Balls of Fire”…oh wow, I don’t have balls, and I’m clenching my legs here! How long do you have to submerge them to sustain that sort of injury?

    That guy must have one hell of a pain threshold – I’m amazed he’s even able to lift his hand to hold his penis up for the first pic. Every guy I know would be passed out or curled up screaming at the point. Or maybe he got really good painkillers. Which leads to the question…what did he tell the guys at the ER???

    that had to fucking hurt, imagine the irritation from steam in the shower. although if he’s interested in castration that’s one way to get to your nuts.

    Although I imagine the healing would be annoying, I can’t see that hurting tooo intensely to do (put them in hot water, that is).

    Or maybe I just have an insensitive scrotum 🙂

    You know, normally the more painful things just make me cringe and wonder why, why in the world did I click on a blurred photo with so much RED in it, but painful though this must have been, I’ve never seen exposed balls look so clean before; it’s kinda hot.

    On the downside, I imagine pants of any kind will be quite the hassle for the duration of the healing. And switching to skirts (assuming the owner of the testicles doesn’t already wear skirts on a regular basis) could prompt uncomfortable questions.

    When you boil your nuts it’s gonna mess them up.
    It just is.
    This guy is lucky he even has nuts and they weren’t injured to the point of having to have them removed. Whether he seeds are whacked, who knows?
    Three months is a long time to heal and anywhere in that time he could’ve developed a resistant infection (among other things).

    i am assuming (for my sanity) that the right hand picture is not fully healed? and if not, as i assume it can’t be, when do we get to see a fully healed picture?

    inquiring minds must know!

    ouch mate… speedy recovery to you.

    and whoever asked, CBT stands for cock and ball torture.

    maybe not quite so hot next time…
    on the upside, once the skin grows back they’ll be extra sensitive.

    what degree burn is it? i can’t decide. if it’s third degree, as the amount of time to heal would suggest, then rest assured that the pain wouldn’t be insurmountable as he would have damaged all of his nerves…unfortunately for good.

    the picture doesn’t really look like a third degree burn and it doesn’t look as if they grafted any skin. me thinks he is experiencing great pain and regret….

    that cant be much fun. i’m glad it healed well and that all is fine now, but i guess these are the risks of cbt play session involving boiling water.

    Leave your balls alone. You don’t see women pouring boiling water on their ovaries do you?

    It looks like sever 2nd degree burns. Third degree burns are MUCH worse and are usually white. Like MUCH worse.

    CBT also stands for Compulsory Bike Test in the UK so you can imagine the surprise I got finding out one of my mates was paying £70 for CBT last month :-DDDDD

    Luckily his helmet stayed on throughout.
