the perils of lovemaking this report is brought to us by Dr. William A. Morton, Jr. MD, a retired urologist in West Chester, Pennsylvania Dr. Morton was called to the emergency room because a pale 40 year old male patient there “needed a doctor who took care of men’s troubles” after the nurses left, the doctor removed two or three yards of stained gauze wrapped around his scrotum swollen to twice the size of a grapefruit, his tender left scrotum even had a jagged, pus and blood filled zig-zag laceration after seeing dark lines, the patient explained that days earlier he injured himself in the machine shop with a heavy-duty stapling gun those dark lines were one-inch wallboard staples he was admitted to the hospital, got tetanus antitoxin, antibacterial therapy, and pre-surgery baths eight staples were removed during surgery and his left testes was missing. after the surgery, the patient told Dr. Morton the entire story. the patient was an unmarried loner who didn’t leave the shop for lunch with the male coworkers. but when he was alone every day for lunch, he would masturbate with his penis against the canvas of a machine’s drive-belt. but one fatal day, as he approached orgasm he got too close to the belt it threw him in the air, an apparently took his left testes with it. He couldn’t tell his coworkers, so he stapled his wound and returned to work. Copyright Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers. All rights reserved. No material may be reprinted without express permission.
