Guys, please dip your balls in soy sauce or whatever if you can’t help yourself but I’m quite sure that it won’t work. I know that this is the green text community but still:
*Receptors on different parts of the body do different things. The taste buds on your tongue respond to whether or not food is edible—and of course, provide taste—while the taste buds on your testicles instead send signals to your body about sperm and testosterone production.
And the scrotum does not have “taste buds,” to be clear. “It’s also important to note that the taste receptors are in your testicles,” adds Justin Dubin, a current Urology Resident at the University of Miami and soon to be Northwestern University fellow specializing in male infertility and sexual medicine. “When you dip your balls in food or sauces, you’re actually only exposing your scrotum to the food … which is the skin surrounding and protecting your testicles.”
In addition to your scrotal skin, you have other layers of tissue that separate your testicles from the outside world, so it is safe to say putting food or any other item on your scrotum won’t get you anywhere close to direct contact with the actual testicle.
“Even if you were able to somehow put food on your actual testicle, which I recommend never trying, the taste receptors would not allow you to taste anything as they simply do not function the same way they do in your mouth and you would not experience the sensation of taste,” Dubin adds.
You probably wouldn’t want to experience taste from your testicles, anyway. If this were the case, as Brahmbhatt points out, you’d constantly “taste” the smell of your scrotum and testicles—even sperm. Yuck.
“Obviously this does not happen—further dispelling the myth that has been propagated,” he says.*
-Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, MC, urologic and robotic surgeon.
I am not sure whether this article was solely published in Men’s Health but here’s the article:

Half-truths are the most effective troll posts.

^Basically says the same thing but with in extreme detail.
Is a robotic surgeon someone who operates on robots?
No, it’s just a surgeon who lacks personality and operates with cold detachment.

Anon’s mom told me that it’s actually not so bad.
So the balls are constantly tasting cum? That’s fucking gay, bro.
There’s nothing gayer than being a man. You always have a dick in close proximity and the only way to get off is playing with that dick. That’s super gay.
Jfc I thought everyone was just shitposting here but this is a real what the fuck moment
Who uses the word “testis” in a scientific article?
I’m most definitively probably 100% maybe sure it is a scientific word.
Thank you for answering instead of down voting. English is my second language and I’ve never read the word in that context before
Alright, I just dipped my balls in a bowl of cordial, so you don’t have to.
My sack didn’t detect any sweetness, but I’m sure if someone sucked on them, then they would.
mvp
Don’t leave us hanging OP, get down there.
my intuition says it would taste like cordial
It works it really works
It might have just been chance, you better replicate it to check.
Don’t get cocktea on me. I done made scrotonade.
But why
Prehistoric dangling diabetes detectors
What
You heard him
Actually I read it but I just didn’t understand.
A reference to another greentext and anatomical issue. Diabetics have sweet urine.
the testis evolved in the balls
Why else would it be called teabagging?
Thats how you’re supposed to check if your tea has been sweetened properly before consumption
The fact I have never tasted the dreaded bowl splash dispels this myth.
Maybe your toilet water is not sweet enough
So that’s why everything tastes like dick all the time…
The treat that’s salty and sweet!
Uhhh I have never heard of this but I might test it…
The testis taste test.
Sounds like a load of bollocks to me
Teabag on teabag anyone?
Brb, finding a cup of nacho cheese dip
Want to be a nacho nacho man
If you think that’s mad, your balls can taste spice! You can test this yourself by pouring hot sauce all over your genitals.
Someone please call the science memes community! Misinformation is winning against me!!
