The story
A thread on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyo G” board blew up over the claim that the skin on your scrotum absorbs toner seven times better than your face. Transdermal absorption rates vary wildly by body part, and the scrotum — known for its thin skin — has long been recognized in pharmaceutical research as a high-absorption site. Posters split over whether the “7x” figure actually applied to cosmetic toner or to drug-absorption studies, with some regretting years of skipped skincare, others debating just how far scrotal moisturizing should go, and the thread eventually derailing into speculation about rubbing minoxidil on your balls.
What people said
There's no going back for me now
For the generation that grows up knowing this, smooth, baby-soft dicks are just gonna be the norm
It's toner, obviously
That's probably just about surface area, so it's kind of iffy
I guess you really do need to use toner or cream to take care of it after all
it's embarrassing when comparing with younger guys
It comes back out as urine
You don't know the scrotal-insertion scene, noob?
It's totally normal in the West
Is that "normal" really necessary though?
Maybe if you put it on your balls, hair would actually grow
A world where that's considered normal is the weird one, honestly
The glans probably has a high absorption rate too
It gets sweaty down there a lot, so it probably also has a cooling function via evaporation
Background and Key Points of the Debate
Dermatology has long recognized that transdermal absorption rates vary dramatically by body part, and because the scrotum has a notably thin stratum corneum, older pharmaceutical and hormone-drug research has shown it to be a site of unusually high absorption. The “7 times the face” figure that spread through the thread appears to trace back to drug-absorption studies rather than any test of cosmetic toner’s moisturizing effect, meaning it isn’t actually a number that guarantees toner itself works any better there. Posters disagreed over whether the figure was really about medication or about cosmetics, pitting those enthusiastic about scrotal moisturizing against those who found the whole idea instinctively off-putting. One point the thread never addressed: if you actually try this, you’d need to avoid harsh or irritating ingredients — a different consideration than ordinary skincare.
