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.

Anon's mom told me that it's actually not so bad.

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.

Is a robotic surgeon someone who operates on robots?

No, it's a surgeon who is trained to use robotic assistance tools to do the surgery. Can help with precision for example.

Balls no taste. Taste IN balls not "on" balls. Taste not really "taste" like tongue, but rather sense how is sperm doing and tell body.

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

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

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

Well shit. Now I wonder if vagina lips can do the same thing. We need answers, damnit!

I love those catchy titles. It's not something like "The Molecular Basis of Taste Perception in Mammals: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives on Taste Receptors in Male Reproduction"

Nah, they go with: "Taste perception: from the tongue to the testis"

Short and concise to the point. Scientists have a sense of humorous wordplays after all.

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.

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

I prefer my bidet shower.

Using toilet paper seems so awfully unhygienic in comparison. Like, if you fell face first into a pile of shit, would you want some water, soap and a towel, or... a roll of paper?

How to tell if someone has a bidet: they'll tell you about their bidet.

Side note: I have a bidet. Get one.

OK aye you got me with that one.

But also, it's literally always been a thing here in Finland and I didn't realise the rest of the planet doesn't have it but default.

Like my grandparents bathroom had one before they remodeled it in the mid 90*s.

But yeah if you don't have one, it doesn't cost much. Whats that podcast one for instance.

I recommend a latrine then. Spread those cheeks and let 'er rip without fear of backsplash or collateral damage.

Can't really be arsed to go outside everytime I need a shit.

I have a bidet shower so having a bit of splashback isn't such a huge deal. Just remember not to mix up your arse towel with your face towel.

Definitely recommend.

It's standard here in Finland since like... I don't even know how long. Like literally all apartments will have a bidet-shower. More common than saunas, and those are pretty much standard in everything built around 90's and later.

2

Speaking of saunas, we're thinking of getting one, but I don't know what to look for. Any thoughts? Also, what does maintenance look like?

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

Why else would it be called teabagging?

Thats how you're supposed to check if your tea has been sweetened properly before consumption
