I'm not really sure. It was on my TT bike (P2C) toward the end of a hard (40 min) session. I was out of the saddle, going up a short rise, and when I went to get back on the saddle, it happened. My quads were totally fried, you know - hardly able to support my weight. I just wanted to get back in the saddle and I guess I was really low on "final approach" and didn't make it up over the nose. I wear these Performance shorts w/ really heavy chamois on the TT bike and, somehow, as best I can figure, my goods got wedged between the side of the chamois and the nose of the saddle. It happened pretty fast and I'm a little bit in shock.
The "tear" is about an inch long, right where the scrotum is attached in the saddle area. Oh, man, this sucks.

Dude! No!
I usually find the whole BF 'wah wah wah! See a doctor!' perspective mildly irritating, but in this situation I have to agree that you should have this sorted immediately.
Even just the potential for infection should be enough to get you there straight away. (can you imagine having all that infected??

I don't know - I'm planning on seeing the doc tomorrow morning. I guess I could go this route, though:
"degloved scrotums attend the Accident and Emergency departments of hospitals each year. In one famous case involving an electric shoe-shining belt, the injured man tried to staple his torn scrotum together with an industrial stapler and only later discovered he was missing a testicle. "

Thats all they do at the ER except with some local antistetic...Oh and that whole "sterile" environment. Same result just $2K more in expense.
Seriously...unless your playing survivor man or already unemployed and eating cat food, go to the ER. The nurses need something to talk about when they get home.
