OK, this is my problem...I was hanging out with this guy this weekend. I don't know him too well since we've met recently and never really became intimate until this weekend. Anyway, we were sitting on the coach Sunday morning watching TV in our underwear (what can I say, it was hot) and all of a sudden, he begins to scratch his balls. Now, I didn't make a bid deal of this since I know all men scratch their balls, but what really got to me was the fact that he actually smelled his fingers immediately after. I don't know why but this really grossed me out.

Now, my question is, is this normal? I mean, I've never done that and this is the first time I've seen someone else do it.

its not normal to do it in front of someone else - but pretty much no stranger than watching TV with another guy in underwear.

never done it. hates bodily smells good or bad.

Yes.

Is this hypothetical or did you just want to brag about getting your stool pushed in all weekend.

Either way, dude, who cares?

That Funny!

I'll be honest and admit that I have done it before, but never in front of another person including my wife.

You didn't answer my question. I really want to know. I don't usually like to date guys who gross me out so if this isn't a normal thing, I want to know.

And I don't have to brag about my sexual affairs, thank you very much or are you just worried that my supposed man crush on you is not real. Don't worry, every time I cum, I think of your dirty fingernails.

I would think that a gay guy would like to sniff what's going on down there more often. I mean, if I had boobs, I'd be playing with them all day...
I usually do it as a judge of just how fowl I am, and how quickly I should hop in the shower.

No offense intended, but do you really think rubbing your balls and smelling your fingers is more gross than eating somebody's butthole? I mean he shits out that thing, and shit is way grosser than ball sweat .

I wouldn't know, I don't do that sort of thing.

My mistake. I vaguely remember you mentioning tossing salad before. Couldn't quite remember it was a joke or serious. But the same thing could be said for a blow job too.

tsk tsk

I get grossed out too easily so I was probably joking around.

See you always gotta push it too far, man.

So yeah, I'm sure I have, but not as a regular practice. But lets face it----- nobody want they balls and shit to be smelling like doo-doo.

I would venture to say that some part of intimacy requires a little tolerated grossing out. It kind of comes down to how well you know the person before they expose their grosser side in my opinion.

When did you break up with the Mormon?

it is normal to do in private, but abnormal to do in public, and extremely sketchy to do next to a chick you recently met that you are interested in

OPA!, Sad as I am to acknowledge this and betray the male race, simply put, men are basically animals. And like animals, they tend to do things like that which you've previously mentioned: the scratch -n- sniff if you will. Is it at all common? Dunno, I'd imagine so. It might be the only way to gauge effectively the overall manly level of stank. It might just be a left-over habit from our more mammailian times. it might just mean that we are sick and sad people with no sense of decorum or revulsion. Whatever.

You want another thing to gross you out. Ask how many women have tasted their own breast milk after giving birth. To me that is just sort of icky.

It was long overdue.

I suppose you're right but I don't understand the urge to smell your fingers after scratching your balls. Not to mention, doing it with someone sitting next to you. Ugh. I'll have to rethink our next date.

Yeah the "doing it in the immediate proximity of someone with whom you have not been together for very long" is the disturbing part.

Its like farting in front of your sig. other. There is a time period.

It's weird to do that in front of someone, but he probably thought all bets were off given that you were already sitting around in your frigging skivvies.
