Many of you have written in to suggest making some sort of graphic showing where all the guts and glands live in the body, and I’ve finally gotten around to creating one. It’s even got rollovers so you can learn more about, say, your pineal gland, should you have time to squander. For the purposes of simplicity, we’ve made the body a hermaphrodite — she’s got a uterus to go with her prostate and testes! We’ll call her/him Hermie.
On a recent Google tangent, I came across one of the odder glandular pastimes — a little something called prostate milking. What began as a medical method of expunging excess fluid and seminal from inflamed prostates has become a newfound way for gentlemen to, um, well, you know, feel good. Really good, apparently. Some say it’s dangerous if not done correctly, and, as you might imagine for something that’s equivalent to your doctor getting you off, alternative treatments, such as laser therapy, may come to replace the practice entirely — in a medical setting at least.
Ever wonder why coffee makes you pee so much more? You likely know caffeine is a diuretic, meaning, something that causes your kidneys to produce more urine. We were wondering if all this extra pee processing was tough on the ol’ bladder, however, research has shown that coffee’s diuretic effects aren’t that much stronger than, say, a glass of water. So unless you’re mainlining five cups a day, or you have bladder issues, your lovely ol’ excretory system should be able to handle your coffee needs so you can stay perky.
Considering the fact that I look at internal organs all day long for a living, my score on the name all the internal organs in four minutes quiz is shamefully bad. I only got 15 out of 24 total organs, isn’t that pathetic? Granted, it was mainly because I didn’t really read the directions and forgot to pluralize things like parathyroids and ovaries (and jeez, who knew the esophagus would be included, but skin wouldn’t? And they rejected spelling gallbladder as one word. I say, look it up in the dictionary, bitches). Anyway, learn from my mistakes, pluralize, and take the quiz. The clock does start ticking right away, so be ready to go when you click on the link and don’t dawdle like I did.
Warning: this post may offend you. People have a funny way of getting to our website. We get linked to from all sorts of places, everything from acupuncture sites to people hunting for sexy enemas. Anyway, a recent link from the bulletin boards over at Wetset dot net (you can type it in yourself if you must) to our When Urine Love shirt made us realize this tee has special meaning to a certain subset of the population — those folks who enjoy the occasional golden shower. Yup, that’s right, people who enjoy peeing on people — or being peed upon, more formally known as urolagnia. This is separate, mind you, from people who drink their own urine, known as urophagia (thanks, Wikipedia), or auto-immune therapy. Let’s end with Dave Chapelle’s classic R. Kelly sendup — Pee On You.
We’ve got a couple of sparkly new tees coming in today, both with fabulous metallic inks, we hope you’ll like ‘em. The first, barely in time for Valentine’s Day, is a Heart of Gold tee, for ladies only. Quite possibly even more exciting is our new guts and glands shirt, which includes all the guts and glands characters — even testicles! For those of you really wanting to wear your prostate on your sleeve, this is the shirt for you. They are sorta arrayed where they are supposed to go, offering a mini-anatomy refresher when you need it.
Tired of awful generic get well cards that don’t get graphic enough for your needs? When you need to tell someone “urine my heart,” send them one of our ridiculous free e-cards. If you know someone who’s had a gallbladder ou or a new kidney in, our guts will heal all wounds. If you want something for nothing, these cards are for you.
Our guts need to make friends with
