    I’m pretty sure that everyone likes boobs, and nuts are just not awesome in any way. If someone’s using nuts as a superlative thing, their priorities are definitely askew.

      Hard disagree. Nuts are awesome. They’re soft, and they’re fun to play with, and they’re also a fantastic emergency stop button in a fight

          The testes themselves aren’t soft ime, but if we’re talking about the overall (scrotum + testes), then I would say it’s pretty soft.

          Though I’m going to take this moment to soapbox about the importance of regular testicular self examinations: https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/testicular-cancer/how-to-check

          The key thing is checking regularly enough that you know what’s normal for you, and thus can see a doctor if there are any unexpected changes in shape or texture. (Apologies for lecturing in reply to what was probably a joke)

            My doctor has been extolling this (correct) perspective lately and you are excellent for supporting it.

            But because the original post was a joke, I have to share: I’ve never had a professional testicular examination before. I’m in my late thirties now and recently changed doctors due to moving. My new doctor, the first time I saw her, offered diagnostic testicular palpation. I declined, as I had no cause for concern, then when I got home told my wife how surprised I was at the suggestion. (Not offended or anything, just caught off guard.)

            My wife, whom you might have guessed is a woman, was not sympathetic to my surprise, as she’d had genital inspections throughout her life.

            I normally try to make the last line of a post like this pithy and humorous, but three other conversations I have going on in the background have robbed me of any joy as I typed this (if you knew me you probably would observe the change in tone between paragraphs), so I will merely present this as factual.

              Late thirties?

              Suprised by a doctor offering to fondle your balls?

              … Might not be long before they insist on calling Doctor Proctor in for a… mildly invasive exam.

        You can also grab twist em upside down and squeeze them into a wee little fly face to thrill all your future partners.

          I didn’t like your comment and I didn’t like posting this response, but commenting this seemed necessary.
