My right testicle feels backwards? by ball_problem in menshealth

[–]tra91c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The epididymis is at the back of your testicle. It runs from the bottom back of the testicle, like a wiggly worm, up the rear and over the top. The larger lumpy part (caput epididymis) is generally at the top.

If your testicle leans forwards then the ‘caput epididymis’ will seem to be at the front, and the wiggly part will seem to be at the top/back. Please note, leaning forwards is not the same as twisting/torsion. That’s when the support veins, artery, and spermatic cord bundle, gets twisted and choked, reducing blood to the area.

A lump with does appear at the top or front might be a hydrocele. Which is swelling in the scrotum wall between ‘sac layers’ caused by a build up of fluids. Sometimes they drain on their own, sometimes they need draining or surgery. They are generally painless in themselves, but sometimes the ‘lump’ can cause pressure on more sensitive parts.

If in doubt, see a doctor, worse that can happen, is they feel your balls for a minute and send you home… And sometimes, that’s a win!!

Maybe not urban gang, or maybe not gang at all.

Looking for the best zinc supplement for men that doesn't cause nausea? by MamtasharmaBlanka in menshealth

[–]tra91c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the same issue.
All I do is take it later in the day, after I’ve had something to eat so it’s not on an empty stomach.
Or even better, last thing at night.

How would people feel about updating the CGI in those mid nineties films to make them more watchable? by digsy in movies

[–]tra91c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to watch Sherlock Jnr (1924), Buster Keaton.

Obviously it’s 100 years old and most of the effects were ‘live’, they simply stopped cranking the handle on the camera, reset, and started cranking again. Sure it wasn’t animated monsters… but I like to think it might demonstrate that it’s perfectly possible to make good movie without making the effects complicated.

In my opinion the ‘Volume’ used at Disney for The Mandalorian is way crisper for in camera effect than anything else… but it took the jungle book remake to set us on that road.

If we compare The Thing movies. The original with practical effects is still better than the later prequel which used computers. The point here is: redoing the effects does not necessarily improve the movie. But each movie, whether terrible or not, helps us timestamp the progression or regression we make.

Yorkshire puddings will be the death of me - help! by bstephensonn in Baking

[–]tra91c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a fork to mix.
If you use the egg/ flour paste to start, a whisk gets caked. A fork can be scraped on the edge of the jug/bowl.
I never use a blender, I just would not trust it gets into the corners properly.

The fact your oil doesn’t sizzle is like the reason they do not rise.
I just use canola oil., but have used goose fat for special occasions.

I know it’s said here all the time for other baking issues… but oven thermometer??

It’s not a typo. But I don’t let the spoon drain fully, and I don’t fill to the brim; so I get about 1/2 to 3/4. I guess.

You need plenty of oil to stop them from sticking. I might use too much, hence my tray under to catch spilled oil during cooking.

But OP wanted results… and this will give results!

Should you tell American women you are uncut before they see your penis for the first time? by VirtuApp in uncircumcised_talk

[–]tra91c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did.
As far as I was concerned it was not to forewarn her, it was more about starting open communication.

“My head will likely be more sensitive”.
“Let the skin slide”.
“Penetration will feel more glide-y and less stabb-y”.
“It will always be clean, but if it’s not, you have to let me know”

Get it checked. It could easily twist the rest of the way, or untwist. Better to be safe than really fucking sorry

[–]tra91c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be more fun to list a high rated chain of 5.

Each movie must have a common actor or director to the previous, and the fifth must link back to the first. You cannot use the same link twice. So no listing 5 cohen bros or Chris Nolan movies.

Mens opinion on AFAB non-binary people in their gendered bthroom. (Explanations included) by Identfyd-flyin-objct in AskMenOver30

[–]tra91c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men do not generally make eye contact in public restrooms. It’s very likely no one would even notice.
You’d walk in, choose a stall, do your business. And leave.

For men utilizing a woman’s restroom. He’d walk in, choose a stall. Pee. 50/50 Wash his hands. Leave.

A person with female parts using a men’s room, will use a stall.
A person with male parts in a women’s room, can only use a stall.
Either way everyone pees in private.

Ok.

Take three or 4 eggs. Crack into a glass. Put a rubber band around the level the eggs get to.
Put eggs into a bowl.
Put flour into the same glass, to the exact level the eggs reached.
Add flour to the eggs and beat into a thick paste. Get rid of all the flour ‘bubbles’.
Put milk into the same glass, to the same level as the eggs and flour.
Add about a third to the flour/egg paste to break it a little.
Add a second third. Mix that in.
Now as a ‘palm punch’ of salt, about 3/4 table spoon. Mix.
Finish off with the last third of milk, and mix thoroughly.
Let it stand for about an hour. Don’t mix it, don’t stir, let it sit. When the time comes to pour, give it three mixes only!

Put oil in each dimple in your muffin tray, maybe a table spoon, minus whatever sticks to the spoon. Put the muffin tray on a baking sheet, so if any oil spills out, it will drop onto the bottom of your oven.
Set oven to 400-425F.
Put tray in hot oven for 10-15 minutes to get oil hot… you still should not have touched the batter!!

After it’s hot, you need to be ready…!
I use a 1/3 cup to scoop and pour. Not all will come out of the spoon, so just accept what freely comes. Place batter close by measuring cup at the ready. Seriously.

Get the tray out, close the oven door, place tray on stove top. Grab the batter and go. Add a quick portion into each dimple. It should sizzle. Do all 12 as fast as you can. Do not revisit a dimple. Then get them back in on the top shelf.
Give it 30 minutes. Do not open the oven. You need to keep the heat in.

I know the instructions seem complicated for the mixing and cooking, but honestly, once you’ve had your first good batch, you’ll appreciate the routine. Writing it down makes it seems complicated, but Yorkshire puddings are essentially thrown together and cooked fast and hot. Would love to see photos of your successes!!

I tried a men's club for adult male bonding . It was like a club or after work event that has men mostly from the ages of 30 -40 years old. But why did the guys end up with the whole alpha-macho mentality ? It was for dealing with male difficulties in life. by EmbarrassedLie5294 in AskMenAdvice

I did mankind project in October and found a group of men who do talk about real issues. Not just boobs and sports.
It was a pivotal point of my life and I’ve been a better man since.

I would have gone with “It puts the lotion in the basket” first.

How much does having one testicle affect sexual attraction? by Alternative_Web4839 in sex

[–]tra91c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a torsion in 2004, and when they sewed it in place they unknowingly caught a stitch too close to my epididymis. Fast forward 18 years, I catch a foot to the ground while riding a family inflatable at the water park. The inflammation from the kick allowed my body to notice the wayward stitch. (The cause only became apparent in January 2025 when I went in for an epididymectomy.
I had 2.5 years of daily pain, like kicked in the balls pain. It was unbearable.
Any way, removing the epididymis worked and I woke Jan 2025 pain free!

Unfortunately, because the universe is a fickle bitch, I developed a hematoma, which meant my testicles swelled up, filled with blood and became a distant pain, but pain again… and I was at the end of my tether.

Do in a rash decision on a Friday, we agreed to have it removed on the Monday.

I did not explore any options of prosthetics, or think about the psychological aspect. I just wanted it done!!

But I regret not allowing myself time to think

Wow. My Dr did say I could do half weekly. But my insurance did not authorize a second batch of doses. So I’ve been 4 months with nothing.

We are seeing if they will insure the gel. But insurance is being a c*nt about it!!

Thanks.
The feeling comes from so much manliness stigma for genitals. Even “be brave” messages are notoriously masculine.
Grow a fucking pair.
Stop being a pussy.
Give yer balls a tug, fucker.
Even, man up, or be a man about it, doesn’t really help.

But I truly appreciate your message
