      Eh not really. Especially if you had a couple of weeks for any bruising to heal. The main stuff that sticks around is mostly already internal or is just skin.

    I feel like getting deliberately kicked in the junk before surgery could have implications. I hear torsion is a bitch, and i wouldn’t want to have to explain that to a doctor or delay a procedure people wait literal years for

    I think I’d want the cremated remains of my bits turned into a keychain, kick that around instead and make that boomer “she keeps my nuts in her purse” joke.

      I had torsion a few years before and yeah it’s NOT fun but on the flipside it kickstarted my desire to transition into overdrive, so lmao.

      Torsion felt like having your part choked and having thousands of needles in there with a “funny bone” feel around the area. 0/10, do not recommend.

      whenever i have body parts removed i ask the doctor if i can keep them. the only doctor who has obliged is the dentist, but i have given all those teeth to his assistants (she had to make a model of the human mouth out of real human teeth for dental/hygiene/something school i really don’t know the 90s were weird dude)

      everything else went into the incineration bin, but let’s be honest the bullshit i lost needed to be incinerated

      I know someone who kept the destroyed specimen. It wasn’t cremated, it was in (I assume) formaldehyde. I got to see it, once.

      I think if I had such a thing, I’d start a cabinet of curiosities.
