OT - Just wondering...

So we were sitting around at work, just bsing, and a fellow worker suddenly
brought up one of those web-sites that shows stupid things that people do,
like big-boys, etc. One of the guys said that when he watches things like
that, sometimes, and especially if they show someone getting thrown from a
bike or a skateboarding accident and they get bad road-rash, he gets a weird
tingling/feeling in his nuts. I told him, "Yeah, me too." I said I thought
it was "fight or flight", or an aspect thereof, kicking in, and it was just
your balls retracting in case you were threatened. Another dude says,
"Bull***!" "You guys are just gay", or some such bit o' wit.

It got me wondering. So, as I often do in such situations, I thought what
better way to ask then to do a mini-poll on asbnll? Here goes:

If you are watching an event and someone is injured, say kicked or struck in
some way in the balls or has a nasty slide on asphalt or concrete resulting
in significant road-rash, do you get a a sympathetic tingle or "feeling" in
your nuts?

Yes:

No:

Thanks for your support. When the mini-poll was conducted at work last
night, admittedly a very small sample amongst four people, it split 50/50.
Two yes, two no.
