A mate is worried about a lump on his testical and he asked me to feel it, we were in the gym at the time! I told him to do one as I thought it was probably a prank or worse, what if I enjoy it?

I told him he should see the doctor if he is worried but my wife reckons I was too harsh and cancer is serious enough for me to feel it for him, to put his mi d at rest.

Would you do it if asked?

Perhaps your wife would like to do it...in fact perhaps that's why her asked you, he knew you'd go straight home and tell her and she might offer!

No, I'd tell him to go to the docs and also look into the anatomy of his balls.

He's probably feeling his epididymis.

Seriously? If he can feel a lump then theres a lump, why would he need the opinion of anyone else but a doctor?

I think maybe he was feeling a little lonely

yikes

Just think. Really, just take moment to think.

Now, what's the answer?




Exactly.


FFS man.


Tell him to go to a doctor, and shower alone from now on!

He wasn't sure if it was a lump or just his mind playing tricks, with nothing to compare it too there was little I could do anyway.

As I said, there is a natural "lump" on each of your balls. If this is the first time he's checked them that's what he's feeling.

But defintely best to get a doctor to check it out.

I suspect he was "testing the water" so to speak, to see whether you'd accept, and if so he'd have gone further.

It doesn't strike me as something which a bloke would do without an agenda.

Unless you're a qualified GP, then tell him to go to a doctor.

I have no doubt he would have asked you to feel both to compare them.

Did he suggest you compare it with yours, or other gym buddies? Im guessing your mate doesn't have a girlfriend who could check.

just say you aren't adequately trained and so suggest he see a GP - simple.

To answer this. If you do this AND find you like squeezing sweaty balls in gyms then this thread, like you, could be giving lots of joy over the next few weeks. Please update.
