Stretching the Scrotum/Testicles
by zany16, Nov 02, 2006 12:00AM
My wife and I have been considering my use of weights or rings to wear around or above my testicles in order to stretch the scrotal skin. This is suppose to stretch the skin and make the testicles hang lower. My wife likes them to hang low and I must admit they feel better hanging down low. My question is is this practice safe? Will weights give us the desired outcome? We have experimented with home made gadgets to weight down the testicles and they do hang a little loose afterwards but draw back up into the pelvic cavity after a few hours or so. Any one can help me with this issue would be appreciated.

People disagree on whether these stretching exercises work- and I would worry that you could actually damage sensitive tissues if you overdo it. I think its a lot of effort and potential risk for just a slightly different aesthetic. In any case, there is no good information on how much of a difference, if any, the weights might have. Some men have annecdotally said that it worked for them- but there is no doubt that putting too heavy a weight on all at once might damage the testes if the weight is way too heavy. Personally, I would forget it- but if you don't want to do that, then be very careful not to put a whole lot of weight on all at once. I think it's unlikely you will get major effects in any case- and if you did, it might only be after a very long time of dragging down the skin...
it will take awhile (if she can wait) and you won't tear anything and it's also good for them. constriction is a nono for
more that twenty minutes or so (like during sex) but i would not
go down the road your thinking of going (even for her) it's your
wedding tackle man, it's precious cargo !!! l.e.
Where is….. what’s her name oh Glad2tob somentn’ here is a place for her mockery
but i have heard this from other people and there are web sites
devoted to it (i'm sure) so be kind ! different strokes and all that ! (no pun intended) l.e.
actually this question is really about HER, whats the big deal
about the "hanging gardens" (did i just create a new term?)???
l.e.
i dont know about large hanging nads? they would remind me of a dog that has not been snipped. now those are some serious hanging "boys"
i would venture a guess and say it cant be all that safe to use a tool to make them hang lower? it is what it is! i certainly am not looking for some clamp to make the "girls" hang lower? i am looking for a tool to keep them up!!
sounds dangerous to me.
as for mockery, i've only seen one mocking post on this thread, and it's NOT from glad2bamom. why would even bother to post that?
LE...you might as well come over to the women's forum because we're everywhere on this site already!!!
i am all about ways to stimulate that area. however, i would not want my husband to risk his health just to stimulate my clitoris. there are many other ways that can be done.
Don't worry zany. When you're 70 they'll be so low you'll probably be tripping over thm.
BTW..is that the proper plural? or is it clitori?
