Guys, please dip your balls in soy sauce or whatever if you can’t help yourself but I’m quite sure that it won’t work. I know that this is the green text community but still:
*Receptors on different parts of the body do different things. The taste buds on your tongue respond to whether or not food is edible—and of course, provide taste—while the taste buds on your testicles instead send signals to your body about sperm and testosterone production.
And the scrotum does not have “taste buds,” to be clear. “It’s also important to note that the taste receptors are in your testicles,” adds Justin Dubin, a current Urology Resident at the University of Miami and soon to be Northwestern University fellow specializing in male infertility and sexual medicine. “When you dip your balls in food or sauces, you’re actually only exposing your scrotum to the food … which is the skin surrounding and protecting your testicles.”
In addition to your scrotal skin, you have other layers of tissue that separate your testicles from the outside world, so it is safe to say putting food or any other item on your scrotum won’t get you anywhere close to direct contact with the actual testicle.
“Even if you were able to somehow put food on your actual testicle, which I recommend never trying, the taste receptors would not allow you to taste anything as they simply do not function the same way they do in your mouth and you would not experience the sensation of taste,” Dubin adds.
You probably wouldn’t want to experience taste from your testicles, anyway. If this were the case, as Brahmbhatt points out, you’d constantly “taste” the smell of your scrotum and testicles—even sperm. Yuck.
“Obviously this does not happen—further dispelling the myth that has been propagated,” he says.*
-Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, MC, urologic and robotic surgeon.
I am not sure whether this article was solely published in Men’s Health but here’s the article:

Half-truths are the most effective troll posts.

Anon’s mom told me that it’s actually not so bad.
So the balls are constantly tasting cum? That’s fucking gay, bro.
There’s nothing gayer than being a man. You always have a dick in close proximity and the only way to get off is playing with that dick. That’s super gay.
Straight trans men are the only straight men!
Is a robotic surgeon someone who operates on robots?
No, it’s just a surgeon who lacks personality and operates with cold detachment.
No, it’s a surgeon who is trained to use robotic assistance tools to do the surgery. Can help with precision for example.

^Basically says the same thing but in extreme detail.

sooo… i just need to cut it before, got it
Inject it
Peel it
Bop it!
Mucho texto
Balls no taste. Taste IN balls not “on” balls. Taste not really “taste” like tongue, but rather sense how is sperm doing and tell body.
If you think that’s mad, your balls can taste spice! You can test this yourself by pouring hot sauce all over your genitals.
For uncut dudes, make sure you pull the foreskin all the way back. You gotta hit that mucus membrane with some capsaicin.

Is that why bengay tastes like balls?
No, his balls just tasted like bengay and you developed a learned association.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Alright, I just dipped my balls in a bowl of cordial, so you don’t have to.
My sack didn’t detect any sweetness, but I’m sure if someone sucked on them, then they would.
mvp
Don’t leave us hanging OP, get down there.
my intuition says it would taste like cordial
The fact I have never tasted the dreaded bowl splash dispels this myth.
Maybe your toilet water is not sweet enough
Just get diabetes then.
need to put more sugar in then
3 spoonfuls is not enough
Poseidon’s Kiss, a sneaky surprise for the carefree pooper
What about ballsweat?
Jfc I thought everyone was just shitposting here but this is a real what the fuck moment
Well shit. Now I wonder if vagina lips can do the same thing. We need answers, damnit!
I love those catchy titles. It’s not something like “The Molecular Basis of Taste Perception in Mammals: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives on Taste Receptors in Male Reproduction”
Nah, they go with: “Taste perception: from the tongue to the testis”
Short and concise to the point. Scientists have a sense of humorous wordplays after all.
Who uses the word “testis” in a scientific article?
I’m most definitively probably 100% maybe sure it is a scientific word.
Thank you for answering instead of down voting. English is my second language and I’ve never read the word in that context before
We usually see it as “testes” which is a technical term for the male sex glands.
I’m sitting here with explosive diarrhoea and this would be somewhat worse if my balls could taste.
You realize you’re supposed to take your underwear off before using the toilet, right?
I do, yes. Did you miss the “explosive” part?
Clear backblast.
Its only a real problem when you have to switch from wiping to patting.
I prefer my bidet shower.
Using toilet paper seems so awfully unhygienic in comparison. Like, if you fell face first into a pile of shit, would you want some water, soap and a towel, or… a roll of paper?
How to tell if someone has a bidet: they’ll tell you about their bidet.
Side note: I have a bidet. Get one.
OK aye you got me with that one.
But also, it’s literally always been a thing here in Finland and I didn’t realise the rest of the planet doesn’t have it but default.
Like my grandparents bathroom had one before they remodeled it in the mid 90*s.
But yeah if you don’t have one, it doesn’t cost much. Whats that podcast one for instance.
I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve only seen pictures of them.
I recommend a latrine then. Spread those cheeks and let 'er rip without fear of backsplash or collateral damage.
Can’t really be arsed to go outside everytime I need a shit.
I have a bidet shower so having a bit of splashback isn’t such a huge deal. Just remember not to mix up your arse towel with your face towel.
Hmm, I really need to get myself a bidet.
Definitely recommend.
It’s standard here in Finland since like… I don’t even know how long. Like literally all apartments will have a bidet-shower. More common than saunas, and those are pretty much standard in everything built around 90’s and later.
Speaking of saunas, we’re thinking of getting one, but I don’t know what to look for. Any thoughts? Also, what does maintenance look like?
It works it really works
It might have just been chance, you better replicate it to check.
Don’t get cocktea on me. I done made scrotonade.
Reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman proves you can eat from your ass and shit from your mouth.
Martha Stewart with the turkey 🤌🏻
But why
Prehistoric dangling diabetes detectors
What
You heard him
Actually I read it but I just didn’t understand.
A reference to another greentext and anatomical issue. Diabetics have sweet urine.
the testis evolved in the balls
Why else would it be called teabagging?
Thats how you’re supposed to check if your tea has been sweetened properly before consumption
Doesn’t seem to work properly on iced tea, so test it before cooling.
So that’s why everything tastes like dick all the time…
1980: in the future, we’ll have flying cars! 2024: Stop dipping your balls in soy sauce you fucking idiots
But Cubs did win.
Yeah! soy sauce isn’t sweet! do it again but try sugar water this time you fuckin clowns!
The treat that’s salty and sweet!
The testis taste test.
Sounds like a load of bollocks to me
My honeymoon could have gotten quite a twist
