So, for anyone that’s curious, testicles are weird pain wise. They have a lot of pressure sensitive nerves on the surface of the testicles themselves. But if you, for example, were to hypothetically push a needle like object into the center of a testicle. You would feel the pressure of the needle pushing on the testicle, but once it pops through there is very little sensation at all.

Edit: Even though this is true this is NOT medical advice. Do not do this as it could have potentially serious consequences. I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but here we are.

I’ll just file that under “things I never wanted to know.”

The closest I can relate is having a vasectomy but even then the pain is in the recovery.

Wasn’t Play Boy rather progressive at all times? What’s the broken clock?

I really hate peoples’ misconstruing of attraction with objectification. The presence of nudity doesn’t make something bad, exploitative, or wrong. The presence of someone attractive does not mean that is the entire point.

Good lord no, playboy was always super misogynistic. Hugh Hefner was MASSIVELY problematic lol.

I won’t defend Hefner, but the articles genuinely were (and are) as far to the left as you’ll see in any widely circulated publication. Being associated with porn gave them cover to write whatever they wanted.

“Not offensive” fucking narcissist lol. It doesn’t offend the trans community, no, instead it raises one of the biggest problems that 49% of the population has, for which there is no reason beyond that our meritocracy - not all, just ours - operates on sexist principles. If it doesn’t offend you you aren’t paying attention to what’s really important, which of course is always the problem with the sex obsessed.

I mean, it’s a good joke, but to call it not offensive is to self identify as male.

So, uh, that’s the joke.

We should probably call some physicists to document this, as it’s rare that you see such a perfect superposition of both getting the joke and not getting it. You may in fact be entangled with the joke now… Do you feel unusual in any way?

The joke itself does a kind of bait & switch, it makes you think it’s going to be a trans joke, but then the last line sort of subverts expectations. The trans portion is necessary for the setup, as the punchline doesn’t make much sense without it, but it’s more a gender inequality joke.
