Guys, please dip your balls in soy sauce or whatever if you can't help yourself but I'm quite sure that it won't work. I know that this is the green text community but still:

*Receptors on different parts of the body do different things. The taste buds on your tongue respond to whether or not food is edible—and of course, provide taste—while the taste buds on your testicles instead send signals to your body about sperm and testosterone production.

And the scrotum does not have "taste buds,” to be clear. “It’s also important to note that the taste receptors are in your testicles," adds Justin Dubin, a current Urology Resident at the University of Miami and soon to be Northwestern University fellow specializing in male infertility and sexual medicine. "When you dip your balls in food or sauces, you’re actually only exposing your scrotum to the food ... which is the skin surrounding and protecting your testicles."

In addition to your scrotal skin, you have other layers of tissue that separate your testicles from the outside world, so it is safe to say putting food or any other item on your scrotum won't get you anywhere close to direct contact with the actual testicle.

“Even if you were able to somehow put food on your actual testicle, which I recommend never trying, the taste receptors would not allow you to taste anything as they simply do not function the same way they do in your mouth and you would not experience the sensation of taste,” Dubin adds.

You probably wouldn't want to experience taste from your testicles, anyway. If this were the case, as Brahmbhatt points out, you’d constantly "taste" the smell of your scrotum and testicles—even sperm. Yuck.

“Obviously this does not happen—further dispelling the myth that has been propagated,” he says.*

-Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, MC, urologic and robotic surgeon.

I am not sure whether this article was solely published in Men's Health but here's the article:

Half-truths are the most effective troll posts.

[-] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 year ago

So the balls are constantly tasting cum? That's fucking gay, bro.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

There's nothing gayer than being a man. You always have a dick in close proximity and the only way to get off is playing with that dick. That's super gay.

Straight trans men are the only straight men!

Is a robotic surgeon someone who operates on robots?

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, it's just a surgeon who lacks personality and operates with cold detachment.

^Basically says the same thing but in extreme detail.

If you think that's mad, your balls can taste spice! You can test this yourself by pouring hot sauce all over your genitals.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

For uncut dudes, make sure you pull the foreskin all the way back. You gotta hit that mucus membrane with some capsaicin.

Is that why bengay tastes like balls?

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

No, his balls just tasted like bengay and you developed a learned association.

Alright, I just dipped my balls in a bowl of cordial, so you don't have to.

My sack didn't detect any sweetness, but I'm sure if someone sucked on them, then they would.

Jfc I thought everyone was just shitposting here but this is a real what the fuck moment

[-] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Who uses the word "testis" in a scientific article?

[-] sleen@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 year ago

I'm most definitively probably 100% maybe sure it is a scientific word.

[-] wurstgulasch3000@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thank you for answering instead of down voting. English is my second language and I've never read the word in that context before

I'm sitting here with explosive diarrhoea and this would be somewhat worse if my balls could taste.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

You realize you're supposed to take your underwear off before using the toilet, right?

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

I do, yes. Did you miss the "explosive" part?

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It might have just been chance, you better replicate it to check.

Reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman proves you can eat from your ass and shit from your mouth.
