Guest hitoallusa Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I injured myself once zipping up too but didn't not need medical attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 This reminds me of an interesting article I read concerning what the ER has removed from the "bums" of various folks to include a Coke bottle and various other seemingly incongruous articles. I know "boys will be boys" but come on. I never knew it was common for little boys to lay their penii on the rim of a toilet or that it was common for guys to catch themselves in their zippers. I realize the increased probability for uncircumsized aka "naturals" to do this but never thought it was "common". I suppose if it can be imagined or circumstances can provide an opportunity, it can happen. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, RA1 I think 'common' may be a bit of an overstatement, if you consider that millions of men zip & unzip mutliple times per day. 1700 ER visits/yr averages out to about 5 incidents/day - presumably across the entire US. I'd guess that wearing underwear lessens the chance of such accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 I assume you mean the incidence is VERY little. I am not sure what wearing underwear has to do with it. Perhaps I misunderstood the whole point. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I misunderstood the whole point. Best regards, RA1 Yes, I meant that the incidence was really pretty low, IMO. And it seems to me that having a layer of cloth (underwear) between the zipper & genitals would lessen the chance of getting skin caught in a zipper. It would be interesting to know what % of victims were going 'commando'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
