How much pressure can testicles take before they burst?

[jgw1000 (imported)]

I'm into heavy ball play including suspension solely by testicles. But just how much pressure can they take before they burst? and if they do, what happens? is it dangerous? or can you shrug it off and wait for them to settle down (without a ball, of course ) In all probability, if one goes the increased weight will cause the other one to go as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

My advice would be to make sure you are not to far from an emergency room and make sure you have a good story.

First things first....what kind of medical insurance do you have, if any?

The nuts can take a lot. My two buddies have been through hell and back and are now living in reirement, sitting in the sun, enjoying a well-earned rest.

If you trap them in a device that leaves them no "open wall" then you are risking injury. I wouldn't think you needed to ask if some of your stuff is dangerous. It's dangerous to violently attack any part of the body, which doesn't mean people don't do it. For example if you beat someone's ass and legs all the time you will risk causing varicose veins. Usually this happens to battered women because their veins and skin are more delicate, but it can happen to guys too.

How much squeezing balls can take depends on your own balls. the design of them is a protective thing as the orb shape sloughs off being squeezed and they "give" and "escape" and send the pressure outwards. And they have tremendous healing abilities.

Usually during suspension games you aren't placing that much on the balls themselves but on the sac, which is very tough and elastic. Even the cords are flexible and can exend pretty far down. What is dangerous is impacting the balls with a strap or an implement that has the ability to smash into them. But even that is not so likely to cause permanent damage even if they swell up. Usually permanent damage to the nuts happens unexpectantly. That one stroke or mistake that does them in.

There is more immediate danger if you torture your penis because the spongy tissue inside which forms the wells that fill with blood are easily damaged. Even using your hands to stretch the cock after pissing is not recommended. "Shake it don't stretch it," is what my Dad used to tell me. Even trying to work hard to get your soft dick erect breaks it down, I am told. I don't know but I believe this tissue doesn't repair itself well. Don't quote me.

Some masochistic men have hung by just their testicles. There is an article about it on BME/Hard:

A friend of mine was suspended by his nuts, but it was not entirely his choice. The mistress decided that would be his fate. He survived and without complication, although now he is suffering from a bladder infection from too many sounding sessions.

best regards,

sounding is really dangerous because even if teh sound is cleaned thoroughly (sterilization is not possible in a home environment) it transports resistant bacteria from the piss hole up into the bladder where there may not be any natgural defense againt them.

It has been found that repeated bladder infections do lead to cander. If you introduce a viral or hardy bacterial colony into the bladder and it is not killed it can travel throughout the body and into vital organs and eventually create serious problems. Microbial parasites can also ride the sound into the body as well and transmission of bodily fluids containing infectious disease are also a consideration.

Most objects sued for sounding are probably surgical steel, which minimizes bacteria, but even these can develop small rust spots which can cause some dangerous activity in the bladder. If there is anyh sign of rusting, even minute, you should not inssert the sound into the urethra at all.

The nuts can take a LOT. I think this is because Nature realized that many men would abuse their nuts or have them abused ...

Any flat even pressure seems to be withstandable, even until the nuts are squished quite flat (where you can see through them).

Uneven pressure is the most likely to cause rupture. Hanging by the nuts is not enough to rupture the testicle.

Hanging can cause other problems though. It can cause a hydrocele -- where a hole is created in the abdominal wall where the suspensory ligaments pass through. I just had a hydrocelectomy operation a month ago. You can see some before and after pix at http://www.agilroyfiles.gotdns.com/castration/ NOTE: Dead Link

Note that I did not get a chance to take a picture of the hydrocele before the operation, but it was without exaggeration bigger than a softball. I could not even walk normally, and it felt like something constantly tugging on the testicle every time I moved.

I discovered that they cant cope with a well aimed kick from a stallion. He was shod with iron horse shoes if that makes a diffence and he never kicked anybody before and no I did not geld him in revenge because he was too valuable for stud fees. I hated the sight of him for awhile though until I started to enjoy being a Eunuch.

Okay, I think it may vary for different guys, but I'm pretty sure that in terms of crushing my balls can take an incredible amount. I have had full wood vices cranked down as hard as a girl could crank it, I've had full weight trampling on the balls (one foot in shoes), and have squeezed them in the jam of a door that was almost fully closed.

However, I have also been hung entirely by my balls and it ended up putting me in the hospital. Basically the testicles are technically an internal organ which descend from the abdomen during youth. They are still inside a membrane that is connected into the abdomen and the hole/canal through which they descend seals up after their descent. However, if pulled on hard, that membrane rips open and your abdominal fluid flows into the scrotum. Since gravity is at work, the scrotum will fill up to the size of a grapefruit (no exaggeration, you can't even put on pants). It is called a hyrdocele. Mine got so big, that my doctor had to drain them -- he literally put a bucket under them and pierced them and yellow fluid (looks like urine but of course isn't) flowed out. It won't heal, because gravity keeps fluid flowing down. So you need a hyrdocelectomy, where they basically sew it back up. It is a surgery under general anaesthetic.

You can see pictures of guys in the third world with giant swollen testicles. Most people think it is elephantitis, but actually many of them are cases of hydrocele.

Another danger is mixing skewering with crushing. If you've just damaged the integrity of the testicle with skewering, then crushing can cause bad trouble. I've also ended up with serious hematomas, where my scrotum also swelled to grapefruit size but filled with blood instead. In that case, the doctor just wanted to wait, and eventually it resolved itself. But it was quite painful because any time you bleed internally it actually irritates the insides.

So I don't think there is much danger of actually "popping" a testicle, but there are several other medical issues you can run into.

I would personally stay with fairly simple crushing, where the whole testicle is crushed evenly. I wouldn't pull on the testicles ever again, no weights, definitely no hanging by them, now that I have experienced what can happen.

For my hubby, how fast the pressure is applied (and removed) seem to make all the difference in the world. He can take a lot of squeezing with hardly a complaint, but a well placed flick of the finger gets his attention. It seems that it takes a few seconds for the testicles to "get used to" their new shape, and then they're fine, but they object to sudden changes in their shape, as when they're beaten.
