7. For years I had an inguinal hernia that so called "Doctors" said didn't exist.
One thing that it did was not allow one of the little guys to uh....uh....shall we say, hang naturally.

At times it would basically do a turtle act and retreat even further. One day, all that I did was stretch and I could actually hear tearing as it got drawn even further up as the hernia completely ruptured.

Ladies, say what you will, but there is no pain that can be much worse than that. I turned pure white and was so nauseated that I couldn't even walk without help. At least that finally got me sent to see a surgeon who confirmed what I had known for years... I had a freaking hernia.

BTW... never have a vasectomy if the little guys won't cooperate.
It took about 10 attempts to stretch the one down enough to get the clamp to hold. As I lay there nauseated, pale and profusely sweating, even then the Urologist missed the hernia 4 years prior to the big day.

It might look funny on TV, but let me tell you, guys getting hit or kicked there just isn't all that funny to the person on the receiving end.

Any other males out there squirming a little now?
