If you are in need of some real fresh light, I would recommend to go outside at daytime.

  • 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.*
