hehe yes, it's for scientific purposes
the cycling thing does seem likely, but I'm hoping that some other people can confirm this
Edit: wording, formatting
I read this while I was touching my balls
The texture is missing because you didn't install counterstrike source.
I assume it's where your vagina fused together in the womb.
Mine doesn't have the pull-tab/launcher? Is that a problem?
You gotta push the primer bulb 5 times before the pull starter shows up. It's inside the anus
👀
You ever get a boner from sitting on your taint wrong? It's that part.
i am talking about those two sections highlighted in red on the sketch to the right
I refuse to feel my testicles right now.
the area might be a little bit larger than what is highlighted, sorry
Edit: wording
Wait you guys don't shave your balls to keep them smooth as eggs at all times?
this is unrelated to shaving
the mentioned area is noticeably smoother compared to other hairless parts
Edit: wording
Yeah I have that
nice!
Do you have any idea how you acquired that? Do you, like me, also cycle a lot?
Edit: wording, formatting
No I don't really cycle, especially not now because outside it's like -10°C, but I walk a lot
hm interesting
its quite cold as well where i live 😉
I think I found what you're talking about. If the scrotum was a clock they'd be at about 4 and 8 on the dial if you were facing it right? It is a very small area, like the size of a pencil eraser. 40+ years I never knew they were there.
As discoverer I believe OP gets naming rights.
So the scrotum shouldn't be a clock?
I don't have any smooth spots on my balls, but I wonder, do you wear tighter underwear that may consistently rub in those spots? I have places on the outside of both my thighs where my pockets have rubbed against them for decades and hair no longer grows. Same on my ankles from the short, tight socks I used to wear when I played sports. I assume the friction just destroyed the follicles.
Okay, here's another thought: I ride my bike a lot; could this cause those spots?
It's possible? I'm not a dermatologist or anything, it's just what I've observed on my own body, specifically from my pockets is the biggest one. If you ride very frequently, maybe next time pay attention to where you're body is making contact and causing friction. if it's right where your balls rest on the seat and they move back and forth constantly there, it's a good bet.
the skin under my watch is also incredibly smooth (and more transparent). prolonged pressure might be the cause.
good idea! usually I don't give much thought to that region while cycling 😂
Interesting point of view, but given that I typically wear comfortable clothing and boxer shorts, I don't think that's the case.
I wear loose underwear too, and I have always had the smooth spots.
I don't cycle much, but I walk and longboard a lot. I've always been fairly active, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Maybe it's just a genetic thing.
The backside of my balls is smooth and soft like you say. They've been that way for as long as I can remember. I do not cycle regularly.
oh, that's interesting... perhaps there's another activity that could be responsible for this?
I just checked down there. It's your chin
Is it the perineum you're talking about?
no, the bottom of my balls, both have this small area
Do you have any hair follicles there? Could by why it's smooth.
