My boyfriend's medical reports (good news)

[Rebecca Smith]

I had something interesting that I wanted to share with you all.

I am a proud, feminist ballbuster, but I do take my boyfriend's testicular health very seriously.  Whenever he goes for a checkup, I always tell him to ask the doctor to check his testicles very carefully.  He is not comfortable openly talking about ballbusting with the doctor, so I just tell him to say that he has been hit in the testicles by accident recently, to explain why he wants a little extra attention in that area.  Of course, as we all know, these are resilient little organs, and he has always come back with a medical thumbs up: his manhood is happy and healthy.  :)

Recently, he also started going to an acupuncturist.  He has Chinese heritage, and has been interested in exploring that more anyway, but he also has started to get a little bit of back pain and has found that the acupuncture helps alot with it (he has to be pretty vigilant about that kind of thiing, because his mom has had bad back problems and it's something that he needs to keep an eye on).
His acupuncturist was talking alot about holistic health, so my boyfriend asked him about reproductive health.  I don't understand exactly how Chinese medicine measures and evaluates that sort of thing - it has to do with non-Western modalities and chi.  But he got an evaluation and apparently this time his testicles didn't just get a thumbs-up - they got a HUGE two-thumbs up.  Apparently, his "vital energy" in this area is very powerful!

Just for context - my boyfriend and I have been together for years.  I have been an active ballbuster for that entire time.  This means that his testicles have been kneed, kicked, slapped, etc. literally THOUSANDS of times.  It is true that 95% of the time I keep it pretty light and playful, but the other 5% can get pretty rough.

I just thought that this would be of interest to the community.  Among males (NOT members of this community, but in general) there is a lot of irrational fear about testicular damage.  Obvioiusly, I understand that damage is possible (that's why I make him talk to his doctor about it) but I think that for most males this worry is hugely exaggerated beyond what is reasonable.  In my boyfriend's case, both Western medicine and Chinese medicine prove that his testicles are completely happy and healthy - actually SUPER-healthy!  And that's with me constantly using them as my own personal stress-balls.  If anything, I honestly wonder if all the busting has actually been GOOD for them!

Anyway, I know you cant generalize too much from one example, but I thought this would be interesting for some of you.

Yes, I mentioned testicular resiliency in my message to Jessica. Also, that "permanent damage" rarely or seldom happens. You are correct "April is not really into this fetish.". At least, not in the way you and others seem to be. I have mentioned my reasons for membership in the forum in the past. However, seems you missed it.

My interest in so-called 'ball busting' is limited. That is, I am intrigued by tales of women defending themselves by delivering a blow to an assailant's external gonads. Ideally, I prefer these to be fictitious stories so that, no one was really harmed. However, I am v-e-r-y interested in real life experience as well. I prefer incidents in which, the male was not harmed severely or finished up in prolonged pain. Seems, I do not have the bb fetishist's desire to revel in human pain.

"She likes to give worst case scenario results." Yes, I can easily see how that, would be the view from the mindset of the fetishist, either masochist or sadist. However, I see it as injecting some much need reality into some of the discussions here. So many here, seem to be unaware or dismissive of the risks, involved in this activity. In my own way, I had hoped I was encouraging people to be cautious.I apologise if, this has ruined (or put a damper on) anyone's enjoyment.

I read your reasons why you’re hear, didn’t miss it all. I just called you out on it, so clearly didn’t miss it! lol
There are plenty of websites you can see women’s self defense, this one is more fetish oriented. I just didn’t think it would appeal to you.

[April Castro]

Yes. However, it would most likely have to be a prolonged squeeze. That is, with extreme pressure. The testes are fairly resilient organs. However, they do have their limits. Severe and prolonged pressure can lead to internal contusions (bruising). This in turn, can impede proper blood flow. As with many things, this is not something that happens all the time. However, one does not want to finish up as one of those 'rare' or 'seldom' happens cases. That is, in connection with testicular injury.

That maybe explains why there are so many different opinions about the vulnerability of the testicles. In most cases nothing happens and the people involved will say no reason to worry. But in some cases there will be permanent damage and the people involved there will go around and tell everyone how sensitive the testes are and how dangerous it is to play with them.

But you mentioned that severe and prolonged pressure can lead to internal contusions. What do you think is more likely to cause permanent damage, a prolonged squeeze on one and the same part of the testes or pressing with the thumb hard into several areas of the testicles?

[April Castro]

Your question is not one, I am really 'equipped' to answer. I am not a medical professional, nor do I possess testicles. However, all the anecdotal evidence I have heard / read suggests, it is prolonged pressure that is most dangerous. However, my paramedic experience has shown me that, puncture wounds can have catastrophic results. Also that, blunt force testicular trauma can have long lasting consequences. I will leave it at that. Since, I have been accused of enjoying giving "worst case scenario results.".

Are you saying the real damage isn't done from the debilitating blow, but rather the swelling afterward as a result from landing a solid hit where it counts?? 

[April Castro]

Yes. This can be the case. However, this does not always happen "as a result from landing a solid hit where it counts??". Also, there will not be "real damage" from "the swelling" if, there is prompt treatment.
