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.

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!

    It’s always a shock when doing violent things to yourself actually causes an injury.

    The only thing that I can think of is “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.” Might be horribly inappropriate, but that’s the first thing that comes to mind, complete with annoying Christmas carol tune.

    At least we all learnt from this photo-putting your ball into boiling water is a baaad idea.

    Woah. I’m with the group that thinks this probably didn’t hurt incredibly bad to DO, but healing has to be a huge pain in the ass (or, uh, balls?) and really really uncomfortable.

    Good christ! Can’t say i’ve ever wanted to see what that part of the scrotum looks like but now I have, for future curiosity.

    He’s got a wedding band on? I wonder how his partner feels about this. I hope he/she is very understanding and a good caretaker. Hell, for all I know he/she did the dipping.

    …what a story that guy has to tell. he’ll get in an argument and be like “yeah? well one time i submerged my balls in boiling water.” -silence- he wins.

    I hope he had fun during the initial play at least…

    Esmeralda- That would have totally ruled. He could even be posing with the other corpses while holding a cup of boiling water. We’re on to something here…

    Well I think I am the only one who doesn’t find this gross. I really think it’s very neat looking. I am not considering doing it myself. But I do find it very interesting and very intriguing. The thought of doing this crossed my mind quickly, but I let it pass

    #73 I am unsure if that is a wedding band as it looks to be on the right hand

    This is why I stay well clear of such things because while it’s fun in the moment,you always have to clean it up afterwards…

    okay like theres a point of body modification to make someone unique and utterly beautiful to look at. but why do sumthing stupid like this.
    only for one thing. cuz there lonely fucks that are starving for attention. i feel bad for you.

    Hey lisa, it’s a type of sexual play that some men like. Who died and make you queen of all body mods?
