Ill bet it gets to 11" if he like you
This is the second worm found in this guy...
I'm trying to imagine pulling a parasite out of a guy and not even wondering what kind it is.
Who’s your worm guy?
Great.

If it's Instagram you can ask their AI to do it for you.
Use a better search like Bing or duckduckgo. googol sucks and was never any good.

Oh, it's just baby snakes
Oh, thank god the snake meat I ate during military service 50 years ago was cooked! 🥴
Hooray for hazing.
It's not hazing. I'll bet it was during the Cobra Gold exercise, during which Thailand hosts various militaries including the US Marines. Part of the training traded is survival skills specific to the jungle environments Thailand provides, which includes eating of animals, dead or alive. Spiders, scorpions, snakes... one of the traditional hallmarks being the drinking of cobra blood as an alternative to being able to find clean water.
Imagine shooting a load and it crawls back up your dick for some reason.
What the fuck is wrong with you.
It would probably be as scary to be a girl having her first sex.
Or ever. Unprotected sex meaning you have to fish out the little bugger, though it'd make avoiding unwanted pregnancy easier. You'd just need a little net, maybe a bait trap.
You saw this and decided to share it.

I recognise that name
No
:(
LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why not?
How does it crawl back after i swallow
Just watch baby
What a way with words!
What are they surviving on? It ain't like I got a pantry of snacks hidden in my groin.
tapeworms have no digestive system, so they absorb nutrients through thier integument, probably just living off of the body fluids. this is how intestinal tapeworms absorb food too.
Good point, I didn't think about that. I get how they survive in the intestines but in the crotchal region what are they nibbling on?
tapeworms being parasitic have no digestive system, they absorb nutrients through thier cuticles.
You should try it. Makes first dates really interesting.
I'm sure the worm was equally surprised to find the doctors
Oh, I'm glad I found you, doc, please fix this cat I've been living in, it's layout is all wrong, I think he's very sick! Please save him, he's very important to me!
Fuck this so much
Well when I had elective surgery they found a live anaconda in my groin
….
I’ll show myself out…
Was it dead?
Hard to tell.
I've got a bone to pick with that comment
Erection.
Rigor mortis, stiff as a board
"Hey babe, I got ten inches in my pants..."
... his wife was categorically against this surgery, and requested they reverse it immediately. Put it back!
"Probably not the type that you'd like tho."
Quote: "Adding to the oddity, the man told the surgeons that this had actually happened to him before..."
Sounds like he drinks unboiled lake/river water. Gross.
Possibly. The article just mentions he ate a raw snake
Nope. Nope nope nope.
There are too many threads in this thread I want some mindwipe for.........dammm this is one of the stories like that lady who had a plant growing in her wooha that makes you just go. Huh.
Lifespan was 20-30 years. Least it could have done was pick up a case of beer.
In worm lore they're piloting this dude like an eva and their bravest keep getting taken by malevolent gods
You must be watching the (very) wrong version of Ratatouille.
Yeah it's better in the original Korean
The what now?
Korean Ratatouille is a KDrama that involves the mystery of "Who left this giant green and purple turd on the table?"
(if you know what KDrama that's actually from I've been wondering for years)
Good thing he got to worm his way out of this dilemma.
I can’t tell if I’m more upset by the article or the fact that I laughed at this
Lovely. Encountered this post while eating and as I'm about to be full.
Let me guess, spaghetti?
Nan's old world recipe for groin worm marsala
