You can just have a fetish, it doesn't have to be newsworthy

i wonder if this is some "no homo" shit, like no i'm not a deviant i swear, this is a doctor-prescribed cock cage!
It's really weird for them to be reporting on a niche saline growth fetish community like they're doing this for some trendy wellness or beauty reasons instead of just a long existing fetish.
like imagine the headline but its about balloon humpers and they're making it out to be for heart health or something. what is this framing.
everyday we stray further from god's light 
the west can no longer imagine a future, so it turns to imagining bigger balls
Explaining gender dysphoria to a chud: "imagine your scrotum was small and wimpy"
The US will simultaneously outlaw any form of transgender healthcare while fully state funding scrotemaxxing injections for anyone with balls smaller than a walnut.
A 57-year-old man by the name of Marcus told the men's lifestyle magazine that he's been obsessed with making his balls bigger for decades. It's a "passion he thinks grew out of the comic books he’d read as a child." By his own measurements, his scrotum is "bigger than a mango" at 14.5 inches.
Yeah I remember Super Man having a super scrote in issue #69
Super Mario canonically flys around with his ball sack.
Webbing is stored in the balls
I've seen bigger
Old dude playing chess at the nude beach. I assumed testicular cancer but I didn't ask. Maybe he was just ahead of his time.
they’re paying tribute to our DOGE staffers who’ve fallen in the line of duty 
when your bros find the CBT toys and you need to come up with an excuse
gamer minmaxing
pee is stored in the balls, bigger balls mean you can go longer without a bathroom break
this is tanuki appropriation
Me when they're about to find out I'm actually a tanuki. 
Inject this shit straight into my balls
If you want bigger balls just get a vasectomy. Mine swole up like grapefruits after I got snipped
i don't think that's supposed to happen, and I definitely don't think it's supposed to be permanent
It's definitely something that happens, but yea they were back to normal within a week.
What is the appeal here?
IANAD but to my understanding, functional testes are functional testes, and it doesn't really matter how big they are. It's not like penis size where you can directly point to a functionality of it.
It seems like just making a bigger weak spot, or maybe someone aspiring to reenact PPB in their own life.
Cishet gender euphoria maybe? Idk
this is most likely the answer imo
it's a cishomo thing, or at least that's where i ran into it ten years ago. ~~the op is outkick~~lmao leave it to a reactionary sports journo to name his alt media project like it's gay
makes about as much sense to me as any other cosmetic body mod tbh, it's just writing a newspaper article about it that's fucking bizarre
I can speak for myself, I have bigger than average testes and it feels good during sex with stimulation, but blowing your sack up to the size of a melon I'd imagine is more of a liability than having golf ball sized ones?
it's a 3-T scrote
owie
Stan's dad did this in South Park
yeah but that was to smoke weed with impunity, a noble cause
Just gonna get little bit of cancer, Stan.
Someone had fun with the headline.
