13. Morning wood before you need to wake up.
“Morning wood before you need to wake up. When the alarm is less than an hour away but you can’t get comfortable because the mast has decided to raise itself for its own reasons. Then you roll around and get excited from rubbing on the covers.”
14. It sticking to the side of your leg in hot-humid weather.
“It sticking to the side of your leg in hot-humid weather. No real way to NOT make it look obvious that you are trying to un-stick your dick from your leg in public.”
15. Testicular torsion.
“Testicular torsion. I’ve never had it, but the prospect of it terrifies me. It’s when your testicles and all their wiring get tangled up, if I were to explain it in layman’s terms. It can cause inflammation and potential loss of testicle(s)!”

21. Pee-shyness.
“When you just held your piss through a three-hour movie or car ride, you rush to the bathroom for that sweet release, and find you can’t go. No problem, no sweat, it’ll come in just a second. Then a guy walks in. Then two more. Then fice more. Suddenly all that movement and noise and commotion tightens your urethra up like a body builder flexing. The pain in your bladder is building. Your heart is pounding. You just want some peaceful silence to do your thing. But you can’t. So you stand there awkwardly, trying to pretend like you just have a really long piss. Looking around casually like nothing is wrong. Maybe for good measure you grunt a little or shake it a little. Suddenly everyone is gone and you feel the little river become a raging torrent. Ah, sweet, sweet heaven.”
22. It seems that it’s in charge of me for most of my day.
“It seems that it’s in charge of me for most of my day. I drive by a woman, and I need to check her out.

It seems to get worse over time.”
23. The constant need to masturbate/release.
“The constant need to masturbate/release. I don’t want to feel the desire to rub one out 5+ times a day. I’d love nothing more than to be able to focus on my daily tasks with the attention that they deserve…but something as simple as seeing a shapely woman in a flattering outfit can often easily overwhelm and turn us into horny humanoids with tunnel vision and but one thing on our minds. It’s a burden really. What I would give to be able to turn that switch off. Masturbation doesn’t help, either…it might put those feelings off for 10 minutes and then it’s back to more of the same if we see something ‘triggering.’
We don’t want to be these horny creatures who can’t stop thinking about sex, but many of us struggle to keep these thoughts out of our minds.”

25. Blue balls. It’s a real thing. And it hurts like nothing I’ve felt before.
“Blue balls. It’s a real thing. And it hurts like nothing I’ve felt before. I’ve had kidney stones before so I’d say it was similar to that and just as alarming.
Apparently you’re supposed to masturbate to get rid of it. But honestly, it’s the last thing you want to do when you’re in that type of pain.”
26. Getting accused of being a piece of shit sexist manspreading asshole when I just want to sit comfortably.
“Getting accused of being a piece of shit sexist manspreading asshole when I just want to sit comfortably not crushing my junk while still doing my best to not take up other people’s space in public. Fuck you BuzzFeed.”
