Pic of the day: "Wanna see my magic wand?" I thought not. So instead, this cute screenshot from The Sims Makin' Magic.

Penile abrasion

This happened on Tuesday, but the effects are still felt. I was sitting in front of the computer, still in my pajamas, when something did not feel quite right. I looked, and to my dismay I could verify that my external urinating appendage had a spot that was scraped red and was slightly sore. The poor thing had nowhere to hide, but it sure tried! It kept shrinking and shrinking (kinda like Ant-man in Marvel comics), until I was convinced that it was smaller than the on/off button of most persocons. If you know what I mean.

I treated the little guy with a salve called "Fucidin". (I cheerfully assume that in its country of origin it is pronounced with a soft c, like an s.) Since then he has recovered greatly, but he won't have any strenuous exercise any time soon, if I have anything to say about it! That, of course, is the big question.

By now I guess my male readers are about to write and recommend their favorite baby oil or hand lotion. Don't. Strangely enough, it is not like that. That is to say, the abrasion is not caused by exercise of manual dexterity. My best guess so far is that my restless middle extremity has chafed against something in the front of my pajamas. Why this should happen now after all those years I am not sure of. Perhaps my skin simply isn't as tough as it used to be. This is certainly the case on my legs, for instance. And that is not so far away.

I don't think it is necessary to go on and on about that part of my anatomy. Sure, it does have some sentimental value despite its limited use; I would certainly miss it. But I am sure those of you who take an interest in such things, already have access to one... one way or another. So let us just end it here.
