    Do Men Enter Bathtubs on Hands and Knees So Their Balls Hit the Water Last?

    The bathroom is a mysterious place. What goes on inside varies for everyone, or maybe it doesn’t; we simply do not know. The question has prompted some discussion in the past, and I suspect it will continue to do so until we are all under 24-hour government surveillance, at which point the answers will be known by those with access to the government’s live feed. But for now, with the door closed, we can only suspect and ask questions. Here’s one: Do men enter the bathtub on their hands and knees in order to ensure their balls hit the water last?

    In an August 13 post on the motherhood message board BabyCenter, one commenter (username Snaddlebeans) posited they do just that, in a posting under the subject “Testicles in warm water?” Here is the post in full:

    “My little boy has never liked his baths, the only thing that works is wrapping him in a towel and then dipping the whole bundle in so he gets wet gradually.

    Today I forgot this step and just dipped him naked. LO [Ed.: little one] was arching away from the lukewarm water and screaming, and it suddenly dawned on me that maybe the traumatic part is that his testicles hit the water first. Adult men get into a bath on hands and knees so the balls hit the water LAST. Could this be something I’ve just totally missed because I’m a woman?! Not sure how to address it but I thought I’d ask if anyone has insight!”
    I recommend reading the entire resulting thread; it is very good. But, sadly for Snaddlebeans, it is also full of skeptics, taken not by the baby-testicles part but instead, of course, by the idea that adult men get into a bath on their hands and knees so their balls hit the water last.

    I can't imagine a scenario where your balls are literally the first thing that hits the water as an adult, so I checked "some other way", but yeah, the balls are one of the first things that hit the water when you get in the tub.

    #1 - Please quit posting new threads... I'd swear you were basso, except basso often left his threads without ever discussing anything.
    #2 - Why is this D&D and not Hangout?
    #3 - Who doesn't go in feet first and sit down. It is a bathtub with hot water, the nads like it fine.

    I almost always shower rather than take a bath, but for sure the next time I take a bath I'm trying this method out.

    To truly answer this question, I think you have to factor in age and the impact of years of gravitational pull.

    My reproductive health remains, one might say (she would), "randy." Originally, the word's origin appears to come from the Dutch. It figures, as they tend to be a "randy" tribe. My significant other's mother was a Dutch immigrant, so "randy" is in her blood. No wonder we've stuck together for so long. She's just my type!

    From a dictionary:
    [Possibly from obsolete rand, to rant, from obsolete Dutch randen, ranten.] ... randy - feeling great sexual desire; "feeling horny" ... adjective (Informal) lustful, hot, sexy (informal), turned-on (slang), aroused, raunchy (slang), horny (slang), amorous, lascivious, lecherous, sexually ...

    OK, to get this pointed in the right direction (actually, it leans left), I step into the tub, the water as hot as I can stand (helps my wrecked back) and, grabbing my equipment with both hands, sink into the steaming bubbly. There is a problem that I've dealt with for years. What I am equipped with is too large to be fully "surrounded" by my cupped hands. Even if it's freezing cold, the "George Effect" is in full swing, and I'm sinking into an outdoor hot tub in the midst of Winter. It's a real problem. Still, indoors or out, I sink down into the glorious H2O very slowly and ease my way in. Inevitably, the near death producing temperature equalized, my hands are free to do what they will. I must add that this entire procedure requires operating knees. So far, they've held up as I've sunk down.

    That what you're looking for, Os? Still seems like a Hangout topic to me. After all, it's what they do. Hang out.

    Now this is a response. Bravo!!

    Now let me ask you a question, Deck . . . what do you recommend for people suffering from “shrinkage” (congenital or temp-induced)? not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Follow up question, if your problem is the Trumpian one of tiny hands, does that fact not indicate that this is a D&D topic (dicks and Donald) by definition? It’s at least debatable.

    I have no recommendations regarding "The Shrinkage Problem." George spoke for us all. However, one would think that regular and frequent use of said gizmo would alleviate that issue, even if only a little bit. As for my own hands, they aren't small. They are proportional, unlike Mr. trump's, who's hands speak loud and clear to a discerning public. So what is that trumpian hand message? "This is the body we're attached to? Nooooo!!"

    I've been told that hating America is the most American thing anyone can do.
