possible for trauma to the urethra to cause scar tissue, too, so be sensitive about how things feel after you engage in urethra play. If
you're worried, it's usually best to consult a urologist to be on the safe side.
Urethral Infections. Infections in the urethra, or urethritis, can happen because microorganisms were introduced into the penis
through urethra play, unprotected genital sex, or sometimes simply on their own. Typical symptoms are burning while peeing, a
cloudy, milky, or greeny-yellow discharge from the urethra, and pain during genital sex. See a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
Electrostimulation Risks
A primary risk from electro stimulation - even when the electrostimulation is practiced carefully and according to the manufacturer's
guidelines for use of electrical toys - is burns. Minor burns can be treated as for abrasions, but anything worse than a first or
second-degree burn should be assessed by a doctor. Be careful to read all the manufacturers' guidelines for your electro stimulation
equipment before playing, and to educate yourself about the risks of electric play. I recommend Juice: Electricity For Pleasure and
Pain, by Uncle Abdul, for those who want to learn more.
Ointments, Gels, and Creams Risks
Some people enjoy the sensation of using a sports rub, muscle ache balm like Ben-Gay or Tiger Balm, or similar substances on the
skin during cock and ball play. Sometimes, these may cause burning more intense than desired, but because they are oil-based, they
can be difficult to remove completely. If you need to remove these creams, or if someone is suffering from an "overdose" of an
oil-based cream that's been applied to their skin, wash the area with plenty of warm water and liquid dish soap. Because liquid dish
soap is designed to cut oils, it will do a good job of cutting through the oil-based creams as well. Some people also recommend using
shampoo and/or witch hazel.
Removing A Stuck Cock Ring
Every once in a while, a man wearing a metal cock ring will become "stuck," unable to remove the cock ring due to the degree of
swelling in his penis or scrotum. Before you resort to the bolt cutters or a trip to the emergency room to have the cock ring
professionally removed, though, try these tactics first:
- Lie down and wait. If you can be calm, and give your erection a chance to subside, you may well be able to remove the cock ring
without a problem.
- Cool the penis and scrotum with a cool water bath or an ice pack wrapped in towels. Bringing down the erection and any additional
swelling will often allow you to remove the cock ring yourself
Other Lumps, Bumps, and Ouches
These are not necessarily due to, or even related to, cock and ball play, but they can influence your genital health and might become
a factor in your play. If you or a partner are dealing with any of these conditions, it might be best to postpone cock and ball play at
least until you've talked to a doctor about it. For advice on how to approach your doctor about sex play issues, Dr. Charles Moser's
book Health Care Without Shame is a wonderful resource.
Epididymitis.
Inflammation or infection of the epididymis, characterized by a swollen, painful lump inside the scrotum. See a doctor for treatment.
Any mass in the scrotum should be assessed by a doctor.
Hydrocele.
A collection of fluid in the membrane that house a testicle. These usually are harmless and painless, but sometimes may get in the
way. If they do, see a doctor, since they can be drained. Any mass in the scrotum should be assessed by a doctor.
Orchitis (sometimes called Orchiditis).
Infection of a testicle, usually along with severe swelling, pain, and a very swollen scrotum. Any mass in the scrotum should be
assessed by a doctor.
Peyronie's Disease.
A condition where a scar-like formation of tissue bends the penis in such a way that erection ,may be uncomfortable or even
impossible. No one is sure what causes Peyronie's Disease, and many cases go away as spontaneously and quickly as they arrive.
Treatments vary, so consult your doctor.
Prostatitis.
An inflamed or infected prostate gland can cause pain, groin pain, frequent urination, fever, and other symptoms, including
pain-related impotence. As with any infection, see a doctor.
