Balls! (PG)

Animal Reproductive Fitness Exams

WARNING: MALES READING ANY FURTHER MAY FEEL SYMPATHETIC PAIN IN THEIR GROINS.

Over the past few weeks I've examined rams, bulls and stallions bits. Electro-ejaculation with a tampon-like probe up their rectum had to be done to examine their sperm. We even have to manually erect their penises to get a proper look.

In a bull this involves some other stimaulation, namely an arm up their rectum so they can't pull their penis in. Someone else grabs the base and grabs the tip to examine the fully-erect penis.

Now bull and ram penises are quite rigid, slightly different from the soft ones that humans have that have to be filled with blood. Stallions on the other hand are pretty similar to humans. To get them erect a mare has to be placed in front of them to get the stallion aroused.

In a ram you just have to hold on to the base of the penis to stop it going back and grab in to the tip.

There were also many ram testicles to palpate and feel. Some only had one testicle, others had spotty testicles or large hard growths inside them. Some had testicles that were too small for their size.

I've never felt so many balls in my life. I think I will have to feel much more (animal) balls in the future.
