‘Ballmaxxers’ explain why they do dangerous trend as doctor issues severe warning

The internet is determined to put 'maxxing' after absolutely everything right now and unfortunately that also means that some blokes are attempting to maximise their crown jewels.

As Louis Theroux found out in his Manosphere documentary, there's rarely anything good that comes from the incel community, and the concept of attempting to maximise literally everything about yourself is sadly one of those things.

It seems as if online content creator Clavicular has had a big part to play on this matter, as he certainly seems to be the most well known 'looksmaxxer', as he encourages his fans to look the best they can.

While this might seem innocent in theory, it often involves crazy methods such as 'bone-smashing', which doctors are always keen to advise against because apparently it isn't obvious to everyone that smashing yourself in the face with a hammer is a bad idea.

The latest passenger on this crazy train is 'ballmaxxing', where men are literally injecting saline into their testicles and scrotum to make them appear bigger.

Hopefully your first thought is why on Earth someone would think that's a good idea, and while I can't personally speak from experience, the internet almost always has someone willing to speak about this sort of thing.

It seems as if most men in this anonymous community simply enjoy the weight of having cojones the size of grapefruits, while others bizarrely enjoy the comparison with their penis, which naturally looks smaller as a result of the inflated attached appendage.

One wrote: "It feels so good to be that heavy."

Another said he enjoyed the feeling of his penis being ‘buried within’ his scrotum because it was so swollen, while someone else enjoyed the ‘tingling’ of the skin of the sac stretching.

You might think that this is niche but there's a subreddit (there always is), with nearly 9,000 followers, where others speak about the joy of growing their balls, with some even quoting an improved sex life as a motivating factor.

Now, if that's enough to tempt you, let me inform you that medically - this is a really really bad idea. And if you don't trust my opinion, then let me offer you a doctor's advice.

"Ballmaxxing, or scrotal inflation, is a sexual practice where men inject large amounts of saline into their scrotums to artificially inflate the size of their testes. But it can damage intimate health, performance and even lead to life-threatening sepsis," Robert Bradshaw, Superintendent Pharmacist, Oxford Online Pharmacy, told LADbible.

"Persistent and extreme ballmaxxing techniques can interfere with the natural function of the testes and surrounding structures, potentially leading to erectile dysfunction and problems with conception and urination.

"This trend should be taken seriously as a men’s health issue."

So there you have it folks, remember that bigger isn't always better.
