Why?

Just when you think the pursuit of physical 'perfection' has reached new heights (or should that be depths?) of ridiculousness you read something that makes you wonder what is wrong with some people.
Apparently there are some gentlemen in this world of ours who are paying £3000 a pop to have botox injected into their nether regions in order to smooth the wrinkly appearance of their scrotum!!!
This puzzles me greatly and leads me to ask the question of those who are attracted to men whether or not an overly-wrinkled scrotum could be a deal breaker in a relationship. The film star looks, the second home in the Carribean, the charity work in aid of sick children, the Nobel prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Literature and Peace are all well and good but when the trousers come off and it looks like Lord Sugar has sneaked up behind your partner and shoved his head between his legs is there really no way back from that revelation?
I really can't get my head around why anyone would put themselves through this. You may not want a scrotal area that resembles Lord Sugar but just the thought of someone going anywhere near there with a needle is enough for my testicles to make like Lord Lucan and disappear from whence they came some 40 or so years ago.
And paying £3000 for the privilege. Come on fellas, have a word with yourselves!!

This is so funny. I find it equally funny that women would allow others to inject them all over the place for some purpose which really escapes me. Some people have too much time/money on their hands it seems. I must mention this to Vince. Should get a reaction of some sort!

Isn't that area SUPPOSED to be wrinkled at least to some extent? If it is so wrinkly that it hangs low enough to be used as another kind of ball, though, then I think you might want to take some kind of corrective measure.

@WorDazza Now I know better than to ever let you take my temperature!

That was my belief. It's a cooling mechanism along with the ability for them to hang at different levels depending upon the temperature. When it's warm they hang low to keep them cool and when it's cold they retract to keep them warm.
I've taken advantage of this natural phenomenon and have had a temperature scale tattooed on the inside of my upper thigh allowing me to instantly know what temperature it is by whipping off my trousers and checking where they're hanging.

I think some people have to much money and have idiots telling them that this is what they should do with it

I read somewhere, Im not sure if it was here that in Korea, going under the knife is a common graduation gift. A nit here, a tuck there, make the eyes bigger so it would be more expressive, then rhinoplasty to have a better nose shape until most of them are unrecognizable. Its a good thing plastic surgery there is not so expensive because when they have families they have to beautify their children too right?
As for ageing, the secret for the fountain of youth is yet to be discover.

I find it all a bit sad that people feel they have to have such surgery. In many cases there is absolutely nothing wrong with them in the first place and they end up looking worse after the surgery!!
You're correct, there is no fountain of youth. We all just have to grow old disgracefully instead.

@diosabella In my opinion that sort of obsession is actually a mental illness. People like that need counselling not surgery.

@WorDazza And the doctors greedy. They could have said no. But they want her money. Au naturel is better.

Okay, my first (and almost ONLY) thought was, "OUCH!" Second thought (about ten minutes after I read this) was, "Lord Sugar????? WTF, man?"
That's it... no other thoughts in my entire skull after I saw needle and scrotum.... nothing. Brain went.... zzzzzP! Now I am in this hospital for the rest of my life. Doctors are doing something 'down there'. IDK, IDC, either. They can whip them off for all I care anymore!

@DaddyEvil Ouch! I can't imagine having a piercing there! I can imagine that getting it done and the after care were quite uncomfortable.

@WorDazza @DaddyEvil So I am guessing that neither one of you two has any piercings "down there".

That actually made me dissolve into a fit of giggles and my partner had to come and see what was so funny. Now he probably thinks I'm a bit odd - especially as he found me snacking on some prunes not long afterwards...
Seriously though I can't understand it either, I mean it isn't as if having a wrinkly scrotum is something that comes with age or something, it's just the same as everyone else. Surely the smooth ones are going to be the oddballs as it were?
As for the partners of such men - well women have been doing unmentionable things to themselves for quite a long time so one has to ask similar questions about the men in their lives. Would the average decent chap be put off by a bit of hair for example? And if he was that fickle, would you want him anyway?

Oddballs!! You might have bigger problems than a few wrinkles in that case!!
Aside from the aesthetics I'm not too sure about the potential effect on fertility of having a load of chemicals pumped into such a sensitive place.
I'd always believed that the wrinkles were actually part of a finely tuned cooling mechanism to ensure sperm is kept at the correct temperature for maximum fertility. The wrinkles increase the surface area of the scrotum thus allowing for better cooling. But I could be wrong.
Having said that maybe we should let them get on with it. Do we really want such ridiculously stupid genes being perpetuated??

@Fleura You raise an extremely interesting evolutionary question there. The only two theories I've come across (oo er missus!!!) are:
1. Sperm become more active at body temperature (i.e. when inside the female) so they are kept at lower than body temperature so as not to shoot their bolt too early (again oo er missus) so to speak.
2. Body temperatures in most mammals have risen over time as they have become increasingly active (and maybe even down to climate changes) so the scrotum developed to maintain the sperm at optimum temperature despite these body temperature rises.
Essentially nobody really knows for sure.

Wow. To be honest that area really isn't a deal breaker for me. There is a surgery for women's undercarriage area to make it more attractive too... I don't understand it...

Some people have obviously got way too much money and way too much time on their hands if this sort of thing bothers them. If I were to make a prioritised list of things that worried me then I think a wrinkled scrotum would come in at around number 989,756. Just behind 'the sun going out in the next 10 minutes' and just ahead of 'what are the Kardashians up to'.
