The Struggle of Having a Penis and Testicles

I embrace my body as it is, the good and the flaws. Men all over the world face many struggles due to our physical make up. This is not a complaint, but is instead a look into some of the struggles of being a man, and that you women are not alone in physical burdens.

1. Random erections

The Struggle of Having a Penis and Testicles

You are driving with your male friends to go out to eat, then suddenly you feel a rush of blood. You sit still, looking out of the corner of youe eyes to see if anyone else has noticed. You look down and see a bulge and think to yourself, "please go away before we get to the restaraunt." Men everywhere have experienced this many times in a variety of social circumstances. We feel emberassed, and can only hope it goes away quickly.

2. A Hit to the Balls

Even alight hit can leave a man groveling on the floor. The feeling that you might throw up or pass out is common. This is the male equivelent of giving birth.

3. Hot Summer Day

The Struggle of Having a Penis and Testicles

If you have ever seen a man stand like this or move their leg like that, they aren't doing it to pose for a picture. To keep the testicles in a comfortable tempersture the scrotum, or "ball sack" will either get raise of lower. When it is warm they lower to keep themselves cooler away from the body, which leads to the sweat causing the "sack" to get stuck to a leg and creat an uncomfotable situation, with an more uncomfotable and discreet (which it never is) way to fix. A woman may expericence uncomfortable boob sweat, but men experience very uncomfortable ball sweat.

4. Wet Dream

Or as its proper name, Nocturnal Emission, may occur in both sexes, but has a much worse aftermath in men. The vast majority of men will experience this during their lifetime. You experience sexual thoughts in your dreams and then ejaculate, which there are two responses. You either wake up immediately and have to deal with the sticky mess, or you you ejaculate, know it has happened, but remain asleep and then wake up later to your underwear beng sticky, and your penis being stuck to the underwear.

5. Morning Wood

While it could fit into the random erection category, this is more expected, and annoying. If you live at home this causes you to have to remain lying down while it slowly goes away, unless if you have your door closed and locked you are a prisoner in your own bed.

We all face struggles, that is part of being human. The opposite genders can sympethize with each other, and even get a good laugh. Even though our sex organs can sometimes be a bother, they bring much more pleasure, and I appreciate and am thankful I have mine.

  • Interesting take.
    Random erections and morning wood are annoying. They are frustrating when they come at the least inopportune time.

  • Totally right, awesome Take :)

  • should have added, that guys cannot sit on hot surface!( my bike seat everyday if parked in sun) If our testicle get heated! It feels like we are gonna throw up like we are pregnant, feel nauseous.
    It's like our eggs are turning to boiled eggs.
    And also it getting stuck in zipper, reminds us the pain of World War 2

  • I usually am pretty envious of the male gender but not for this

    • but why?

  • Or just sitting down improperly. Hah.

  • Trying to pee after sex whilst you've still got a full on rager. Have to bend forward at the waist to aim your dick into the tiolet. Getting your foreskin caught in your zip is another 1. That way you don't know what to do to relieve the pain. You move the zip up it hurts. Down its agony. try and peal it away. Excruciating. You end up stuck and can't move an inch without nearly killing yourself but you'd rather die than shout for help. The last 1 for me is masturbating. Someone bursts in on you when your busy ripping the head off it its impossible to cover up. The quilt just sticks up like a big tent. Lying on your side would just look suspicious lol

  • This is so cute, I Think Men are just funny

  • Ladies, if you want to know what getting hit in the nuts feels like, get someone to poke you in the eye three-stooges style. Now multiply that feeling by two or three.

  • Another struggle is shaving it, have to be very careful not to nick anything it's very sensitive down there in all places.

    Also, the fact you can't have pants fit as snug because of your balls, there must always be extra room which can sometimes lead to some loose fitting pants in the waist.

    Sports you need to wear a cup to protect it, and riding a bike for too long hurts after a while.

    Then when your underwear or boxers are too lose and it's flopping around or gets stuck in a weird position and you need to grab yourself and move it looks weird but needs to be done!

  • Yeah. It's not so easy being a guy. #3... That hot day stuff is brutal. I'm glad somebody acknoweged that one.

  • Also to be constantly shamed for a body part you were born with and have virtually no control over isn't great

    • Hahaha! It sure as hell feels like it some days doesn't it @aliencreature

  • Lol wet dreams. That's so 7th grade.
    Good job on the take tho mr anon!

  • I don't know man I haven't had a wet dream since I was 12 lol

  • "The Struggle of Having a Penis and Testicles"

    I see none of those things as struggles. I love my morning wood, let's me know it still works.

    no. 3 is the man's fault for wearing tight ass jeans.

  • I feel sympathy for dudes! At least we don't get vagina boners... xD

    • lol... vagina boners...

    • @LiveOutLoud ahahaha

    • Some women do, Look it up. We just can't tell, but the woman knows

  • I'll look at it on the bright side:
    1. Let's you know it's still intact, so that's actually a relief. Plus it's nature, that gave us it, so there's nothing unusual on it.
    2. None!
    3. You could actually have a different pose without squeezing your most important organ but each to their own.
    4. Yes, the only bad thing about it is the mess. However the good news is, that it's an indicator of your sexual health being OK and normal. It's nothing horrible comparing to random nose bleeds for example. I'm glad it is.
    5. Maybe it's just me but I do not experience them anymore. At least not so much often but much lesser. However, nothing really positive except for it being still able to get an erection. Other than that... JUST STAND UP AND BE PROUD ;) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) YOU'RE A MAN, AREN'T YOU?

  • This is an adorable take. It's so cute when a guy gets embarrassed ☺️ It's okay man, we all have our own problems to deal with with our private parts. 👍

  • Other than 3 I agree completely with this take.
    I hate random erections especially when a girl notices and thinks it's for her.

    • Is it not always for her?

    • @Heyyakk No it's just there.

    • This is why I love penises. They all have spunk and personalities. Adorable

  • how often does the random boner thing happen once you're 18+ and your body is more developed?

    • Usually once or twice a day.

    • you mean morning wood? I meant in public.

    • Once or twice, depending on how long I am at school that day. Sometimes there never is one.

  • Morning wood sucks. It's always impossible to go to the bathroom without making a mess.
