Why do male friends walk up to other male friends and sometimes swat at their junk?

37 comments

1. To make sure they aint shooting blanks

2. To ensure only my seed will replenish the earth.👽

3. Because guys like dicks and “cover” the behavior with a playful jiggle/slap.

4. Latent homosexuality,

   also getting hit in the balls hurts and guys are dicks lol

5. What types of street people do this? Never heard such a thing.

6. Never once heard of any guys who do this. What kind of guys are you hanging around with, man?

7. If it doesn’t result in gay sex, they can pass it off as “just a prank, bro”.

8. What the fuck kinda guys do you know?

9. A strong desire for getting a broken nose I imagine.

10. It’s the same as any male on male pranking.

11. Because they’re emotionally still in junior high.

12. Never heard or seen this.

13. I’ve never seen this happen.

14. It takes a surprising little amount of force to make another male want to vomit and take a poop at the same time… Ball tapping.

    It’s a sure fire way to get a reaction. If you’ve also heard the thing “two for flinching” …….

    Physical abuse is the only way we know how to connect with each other. /S

15. Maybe they’re secretly gay and want to touch your genitals?

    I mean… if your cute, I might want to touch too.

    But I’m not secretly gay; I’m open. I’d just ask.

    Hey, you look like you have great genitals. Can I touch them?

    And if the answer is no, I respect that… and then ask to look.

16. Maybe you should observe men who don’t live in West Hollywood or Fire Island sometime?

17. I don’t know any men that do this. The one’s that do probably think it’s funny in the same way they think it’s funny to pants someone while they’re not expecting.

    14 year old boys think it’s funny. Grown adult men think it’s obnoxious douchebaggery.

18. Never heard of this in real life.

    In france, there was a joke about “chabite” in late 90s-2000s but that was only on some muppet TV show.

19. They’re gay or dumb or both.

20. Well, I don’t have friends who do that, but the main reason is we like to be assholes to our friends, strangely in a “friendly” way.

    Like how me and my best friends curse and utterly roast each other, but deep down we can’t live without the other and we just implicate with ourselves.

    Of couse nut-taping crosses this limit, at least for us, even a light tap in the balls hurt, why would you inflict this level of physical pain? God just call me an asshole and leave, I’ll feel less miserable.

21. Lmfao, are you from the UK?

    It’s a stupid game played between some guys, honestly never get between them because it always ends in tears.

22. It means they want a punch to the face

23. Men engage in rough and tumble play, both physical and verbal. It’s how we bond.

24. This is new. Pretty sure this is something your friends do and not male friends in general.

25. You have the weirdest friends.

26. Because they’re probably age 13-15

27. Because they’re gay. Literally no other reason.

    You do mean hitting them in their balls right? Yeah that’s gay.

    Edit: because this is Reddit I have to make a disclaimer that I don’t care if you’re gay. We’re not hooking up no matter how many times you hit my junk.

28. Normal men dont do this

29. Only friends do it. For me I don’t agree with my friends reproducing. It would cut down on hangout time and they are all dickheads and would be shit fathers. I strongly feel hitting their nuts could prevent this.

30. Joking nut tapping is like a teenager thing, it’s just a way to fuck with each other I have no idea why it’s popular

31. It’s called a sack tap, and I don’t know why some guys do it, but it sucks.

32. Growing up, a certain group of goofball guys would engage in ‘bag tagging’. My boys and me didn’t do this as it always seemed to be an acquired taste…like liver and onions and Old Milwaukee’s Best…Light. So to answer your question…maybe it’s just guys who didn’t grow up but only got bigger.

33. Cuz we’re 12 on some level all our lives.

34. I only do this with my friend, but I think it’s funny

35. You need some different friends, Bro

36. Hate when people do this, but you’re not allowed to kill on spot

37. This is a joke, right?
