Sore balls

Postby upsidedownboy1 » Mon Nov 20, 2006 3:09 pm

Hey guys, this is going to sound a bit weird, but bear with me...
I just bought a new wetsuit, and beacuase of my build i had to get a size small so i didn't have neoprene wings. trouble is, because the body is now a little short, one of my balls (sorry...) gets squashed back into my body (i'm sooooo sorry....), so whenever i dive on the board... well needless to say, it hurts. a lot. is there some kind of groin protector on the market?

again: apologies! i couldn't think of anyway to put it nicely... :oops:

Dont be embarassed, there have been many sore ball related topics on SW before, but i think most have revolved around rubbing rather than squeezing :lol:

I think the only solution is to get a new wetsuit and umm well maybe if your just too out of proportion (calm down I'dratherbesurfing) then you may have to have a custom wetsuit made!

A couple of bricks banged strategically together will stop the trouble once and for all.

There are some good athletic underwear-shorts that , er, "hold and cup" things well, if you know what I mean. UnderArmour makes one, so does Nike. They aren't expensive and they might help alleviate your problem. Otherwise I think you might be looking at a new suit.

a friend of mine, Pablo had the same problem. Easily sorted. He went down to David, the local voodoo priest/town mayor and explained his problem. David recommended a daily routine of ball reduction exercises as well as a daily swim in an icy mountain lake (men will know what this does to you)

Anyway, after a few months, Pablo still had a ball problem, and no matter how many times a day he did his exercises and icy lake swim, he just couldn't achieve ball shrinkage. He decided to go to Bobby the Testicologist (ball doctor in layman's terms) who recommended a daily routine of fiddling with himself. Bobby believed that the enlarged scrota were as a result of a build up of swimmers. Well Pablo had no problem with this cure, and in fact, some might say he was a bit too enthusiastic. The way he was going, the rest of the town was surprised that he didn't lose his two sacs altogether! Alas, even with all of the treatment, Pablo still could not achieve that which eluded him for so long..... The Ultimate Peanut Sac.

in the end, Pablo decided to get his grapes cut off. He now sings as a soloist for the St Vera's Girl's School Choir.

I know where you're coming from.
I think most guys have had this happen and I find that if you pull your wettie up too tight (around your old fella) you will squash your balls or a nut will push itself up between you and your board. So pull your wettie down a bit.
Another tactic I use is to strap my gear to my leg.....
