Well I don't have to get into a wrestling match to know that being in a close contact with a sweaty girl would probably give me a boner too. Especially in high school. And those wrestling uniforms probably didn't leave too much for imagination either.

It's really fun and good that I can open any random thread in any subforum on this site and get to read arguments over gender. Anyway here's a legit badass that I learned about when I lived in Thailand.  This is Parinya Charoenphol, a badass Muay Thai fighter who was born a man but wanted to be a woman. She was the most famous ladyboy Muay Thai fighter, and the subject of the excellent documentary Beautiful Boxer. I respect that even while taking hormones and stuff she would fight men. You can read more about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parinya_Charoenphol

Yea I would get a boner if I had to wrestle that chick. Especially if she was winning. Seriously though, don't wrestlers wear cups or something boner-hiding? It seems like getting your nuts smashed would be a constant danger.

Ofaloaf posted:I should hope not! They're supposed to fit smugly, but they shouldn't be that much of a bother. Cups impede range of motion and if your legs are being pressed together, like if you're laying on your side, they can press into the surrounding tissue pretty hard. When I was a youth wrestling coach, this one boy was wearing one cause his mom insisted. The problem was that the constant pressure from it hurt him terribly, and he didn't want to practice for a week afterwards because pain in his legs and "a lot of tingling". Hockey is one of the few sports where a player can wear a cup and it won't affect him so much. Even when I played rugby in college, I never heard of someone wearing one.

Krispy Kareem posted:I was under the impression a carrier could withstand a ton of damage. Isn't that what they made nuclear torpedoes for? A carrier, like pretty much all modern US warships (really, all modern warships) has little to no actual armour. I think they currently have 2.5" of kevlar around the fuel tanks and bomb stores to try and keep spalling from hurting them, but really they can be deathtraps if a situation gets out of control. This is one reason why Naval vessels are constantly having fire control and damage drills, so the crew doesn't let something small turn into something big, and so that something big hopefully doesn't sink the ship. Really, one lucky hit from a single 5" shell could sink a carrier, and it wouldn't have to be a one in a million hit either. If the fuel tanks were holed and caught fire, or if one of the onboard bombs went off below decks it could mean that the ship will either sink or more likely burn to the water line and be a complete write-off. Carriers are so valuable and vunerable that the job of pretty much every ship around them is to keep an enemy from getting a shot off, hopefully shooting down anything incoming, and worst case scenario, taking a hit instead of the carrier. Nuclear torpedoes were a cold-war thing where you wanted to either take out a sub that you knew was "somewhere over there" or to take out an entire carrier group with one lucky (suicidal) shot. A good example of how things can get out of control is the USS Forrestal fire during Vietnam. A freak accident nearly sank her when a rocket accidentally fired, punctured a fuel tank on another aircraft, caused a fire, and then ignited some bombs on the deck. Things went from bad to worse, and it was lucky that the fire was eventually brought under control. The Forrestal had a 3" armoured flight deck, and I'd guess was overall a tougher ship, but probably didn't have the damage control and firefighting capabilities modern supercarriers have.

Stairs posted:It's such a shame, they could have prevented Forrestal fires.  e: so this is one of my favorite badass things. It's not a picture but this video captures what happened from a bunch of angles with also lovely music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEFCQRwj28w Basically, a wingsuit crash. Here's an interview with Jeb Corliss after the accident, with a bit I thought was cool: http://www.outsideonline.com/blog/outdoor-adventure/inside-the-crash-and-recovery-of-jeb-corliss.html quote:One was purely technical. As I impacted, I was immediately thrown into flips, bouncing, and tumbling OK, you’re out of control—regain stability. OK. You’re OK. You’re stable. The wingsuit was destroyed and it was throwing me back into the mountain. So I’m struggling to stay away from the mountain. On top of that, there are ledges. I thought, OK, I can’t pull yet. I have to fly over that ledge. OK, I can’t pull yet. I have to fly over that ledge. I had to get over those ledges before I could pull my parachute and still survive. That's LIFE asserting itself right there. He managed to survive with really (relatively) very minor injuries, and I think he's still flying wingsuits. These people are absolutely loving insane but I admire them in some bizarre way. Chard has a new favorite as of 04:47 on Apr 4, 2014 |

It's an interesting read, but as far as I know, he's completely off-base here: quote:When I first got to the hospital, the doctors injected me with morphine. For the first two days, they were doing it against my will. I got so angry by the second day. When the nurse came at me with a needle, I said, I’m done. She got the doctor. We got in this argument and I’m like, Do not give me any more painkillers. I do not want it. They said, Sir, you are going through surgeries. For the surgeries, they put me under. That’s one thing, but when I came out, they were constantly trying to give me poo poo. As far as I understand, the reason medics try to get painkillers into you as soon as possible is to try to prevent pain sensitisation. The theory is something like the more pain you experience, the better your nerves get at feeling pain, and get more sensitive to it - you don't toughen up, you get more vulnerable, so by pumping him full or morphine they might have been trying to head off chronic pain later in life.

If/when I ever break something or whatever I hope they pump me catatonic with pain meds because I'd rather not deal with that poo poo.

I'll admit I skimmed that part, the boneheaded PAIN=GAIN attitude is pretty dumb. I was mainly impressed by the near-instantaneous recovery during his crash/flight and the quick decision making immediately after. Plus surviving that damage and the shock of it, I can excuse a little machismo bragging I guess. It's what they live for after all.

Most doctors in the 'States over-use interventions and medications because of the risk of litigation if something goes wrong and they can't show that they've done something. Not even consciously really, it's just the way that a litigious system effects accepted medical practice. It leads to a whole lot of unnecessary medication or even unnecessary operations though, which obviously have negative side effects. Still, that guy seems to have some absolute stance on it which is dumb.

Opiate based painkillers don't work on me, sadly. I had Vicodin given to me when I had my wisdom teeth out and even taking three or four within a couple of hours, there was no pain relief. Turns out something is all messed up with my brain's opiate receptors so I could be taking opiates all day long with absolutely no effect from it at all. I hope I never have a condition that requires pain relief medication on a regular/semi-regular basis because that's going to suck hard trying to find an alternative.

I hope I never have a condition that requires pain relief medication on a regular/semi-regular basis because that's going to suck hard trying to find an alternative. It might not be the receptors in your brain; some folks can have a lack of the liver enzyme that metabolizes the active ingredient in some oral pain medications. It will most likely be different for different types of meds so you can possibly try something else to find one that works, and it won't be an issue if you need serious pain relief in the hospital since unlike oral pain meds IV morphine (or any IV pain medication, really) bypasses the liver and goes straight to the brain. Next time you're in a situation that requires it, tell the doctor that you were prescribed vicodin for your wisdom teeth and it had absolutely no effect; if they're any good they will most likely give you a different medication to try. And if that doesn't work, go back to the doctor and tell him so. If you're in severe pain there's no reason to suffer needlessly, and are well within your rights to try and find a medication that will work for you. Or it could be your brain and you're screwed, but I think that's a pretty rare occurrence compared to the liver situation.

On the cup front I am staggered to read of a goon playing rugby without one - rugby, where in a ruck, maul or scrum everyone's hands are hidden from the ref and everyone for those eighty minutes wants to inflict crippling physical pain on the opposition. Punches, grabs, twists, pulls and crushes are all fair game. And this was in a county game, not a school or university one.

Maybe you've got a platypus hiding in your sofa, constantly injecting you with his toxin. Which causes crippling agony for hours, and hypersensitivity to pain for months, plus it stops opiates from working. Australia: Don't Go There.

You get a pair of spandex undershorts so your balls don't fall out at the bottom of a ruck, and you're good to go. Rugby is a hardcore sport.
