Genital injuries send thousands to emergency care each year, study showsTelevision shows and movies may portray people getting hit in the crotch as comical, but it's a serious issue that sends almost 16,000 men and women to U.S. emergency rooms every year, according to a study.
Bicycles, furniture and clothing are all items blamed for the injuries, which can go on to cause people physical, psychological and reproductive problems later on, said senior author Benjamin Breyer, an assistant professor of urology at the University of California, San Francisco.
"To put this in perspective, the yearly incidence of these (injuries) is almost twice as much as dental injuries, and about the same as electrical and chemical burns," Breyer added.
The team analyzed a national database of emergency room visits caused by consumer products, identifying all genital injuries to men and women 18 years and older between 2002 and 2010.
The injured body parts included, among other things, penises, testicles, bladders, kidneys and external female genitalia.

Well, I don't know about his personal hygiene requirements, but I would have to agree especially after his "Monkey butt" thread.

Hey, I like no hair on the bags, keeps 'em nice and soft. Just don't use a straight razor and all is well.
Back in the heartland, Thank God!

I knew when I hit the reply button that somehow I was going to regret getting into this thread.
