An analysis of soldier genital injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan is discussed here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/13/heal ... .html?_r=0

Although the report indicated over 1000 guys had injuries to their external genitals, the number of severe injuries requiring amputations was actually relatively low:

"Of the 1,367 genitourinary injuries reported, 73 percent involved the external genitals. More than a third of the men had at least one injury that was considered severe; 129 lost one of their testes, 17 lost both and 86 had severe injuries to the penis. Fewer than five lost the penis."

Testicular injuries sometimes had a delayed reaction though, so technically even more guys lost the function of their testicles:

"Furthermore, in our clinical practice we anecdotally identified previously fertile men who sustained severe blast injury to the pelvis and were (months or years later) subsequently found to have testicular atrophy and biopsy confirmed nonobstructive azoospermia despite no evidence of overt testicular injury at the time of initial presentation, presumably due to delayed effects from the initial blast injury. "

Also, some of those who didn't lose their penis did have it seriously disfigured:

"However, for the most severe cases, salvage of penile tissue was not possible, ultimately resulting in complete loss of the penis at the time of injury (fewer than 5 men in this cohort) or in a foreshortened, disfigured, nonfunctional phallus despite conventional reconstructive surgery."

So the image I had of thousands of guys nullified by IEDs, is more like a couple dozen. Still must be really traumatic for those guys...

That's really fantastic news that so few of our soldiers have sustained testicle and penis destroying injuries from IEDs in all this time. I guess those giant armored jock like nut cups we see them wearing are working great. I'd expected way more totally damaged and destroyed genital injuries than this report claims. The end of deployment physicals and follow up exams are way better and more comprehensive now to discover these injuries, even longer term. Sad to hear about those losing their sperm production and testosterone production months or years later from blast impacts, even with no obvious injuries at the incident. That's a real warning to rough CBT players to be aware damage might not be obvious at the time and visible but long term damage may occur from nut abuse. Too bad there's not a national donor registry and a huge transplant system to give our troops the option of a new set of dicks and balls for those injured bad. Especially now that a few testicle and penis transplamts have been suscessfully completed lately. Get the VA working on this. Lots of eager, healthy, potential penis and testicle donors on this website eager to help out a soldier and restore his full manhood and sexual fun and abilities.
