[Ralph-Wiggum / Smoove] Viruses are ballsy

Study shows semen is a virus safehaven.

Following recent news that Zika virus can lurk in semen for months, a pair of infectious-disease researchers got to wondering: how many other viruses can hang out down there?

With the intriguing question dangling, the ballsy researchers decided to do a study to figure it out—because, you know, why not?

Unless these are space testicles, I think you may have linked the wrong article.

[stessier]

Um...no idea what you are talking about.

That article is sure to stimulate lots of interest. I just hope people aren't too hard on the methods the scientists used.

Everyone talks about the blood-brain barrier, but no one wants to examine the blood–testis barrier. Same as it ever was.

It's an interesting article, mainly because of those public health impacts. Influenza? From my testicles? It's more likely than you think.

I don't even...

Since I have no plans to come near your testicles, I find it highly unlikely...

oh sure, you have no plans, but what are Smoove's plans...

[Smoove_B]

Exactly, no one plans on coming close...

But hey, let's get back to talking about Blackhawk's.

Hey, just be grateful that you don't occupy the semen niche on the forum.

There's been more than one occasion where it certainly felt like something in my pants sneezed. This makes total sense now.

[Blackhawk]

Interesting. I can't tell if they're using 'semen' medically or more generally. I wonder what part of the system the viruses are actually hanging out in. Are they in the prostate? The vesicles? Or is it actually in the testes?

As the proud owner of a vasectomy, I'm hoping the latter.

With nowhere to go, they will just keep multiplying until your nuts explodes.

And thus, prairie oysters were born.

perhaps it's a typo? i mean all those people on a ship have to be full of viruses...
