PSA: "Milking the Balls" not "Milk in the Balls"

As I was surfing the Internet looking for images to use in some posting about prostate milking, I came across a medical blog entry about "Milking the Balls." I am re-telling this post as a kind of public service announcement.

It seems that some twenty-something guy went to the hospital complaining of pains in his balls. The doctors found a serious infection that had spread from his chestnuts into his chest and elsewhere.

It turned out that this guy's girlfriend told him that she heard "milking the prostate" can feel really good and make your man parts larger. Unfortunately, they had no idea what what the prostate is or where it is found. These two Einsteins knew that the prostate wasn't the penis so they reasoned that it must be in the testicles. So...they got a syringe and injected milk into his scrotum! Geez!

The poor (but stupid) guy ended up loosing both of his testicles.

The moral of the story: don't inject anything into your body even if you think it might feel good.
