I would never have guessed that they could just be "pulled" off ... well by an average human anyway. Nor that somebody's first thought would ever be "hmm, swallow it".
One thing I have never understood is how, for most of history as we know it, society has been largely male-dominated. (Oh I don't deny it, or support it, especially.)
I mean, we (males) are so fucking VULNERABLE down there. It's all outside and so easily injured.
Was he that much of an ass to her that night? Or not at all? Was she abused by him in the relationship? Did he assault her that night? Was she abused as a child or previously?
I'm not convinced this isn't some kind of ridiculously elaborate prank. Either that, or there's WAY more to the story.
How on earth could someone pull that hard? Sorry to be graphic here, but it's not just a matter of ripping the testicle off of the many veins and ducts to which it's attached -- the skin of the testicle sack would have to tear, and skin tends to be incredibly tough, unless its punctured. I have a hard time imagining something as soft as a testicle breaking through the skin -- it seems the testicle would squash before that happened.
Furthermore, it seems to me the pain would be so excruciating that the man wouldn't just think "ow, that really hurt" then look down and notice that he was bleeding (which is what I pictured when I read the article). And then the part about someone picking up his testicle and handing it back to him, saying, "this is yours"??? Would someone really just reach down and pick it up? Would the man have the presence of mind to take the returned testicle back from the person who handed it to him? It just makes less and less sense as it goes on.
