Male organ caught in zipper? Yikes! A 2013 article published in
the Journal
of the British Association of Urological Surgeons reported that about 17,616 men
had shown up to the emergency room between 2002 and 2010 with part of their
most delicate skin caught in the zippers of their pants. This problem is most
prevalent among men with prepuces, and those who go commando are most vulnerable.
Injuries to sensitive manhood skin tend to be extremely painful, and
appropriate male organ care steps need to be taken in order to
limit the damage to the skin when removing it from the grips of a metal fly.
The following are methods used, either at home or the hospital, to get the skin
free.
Note: It is best to seek out the help of
a medical professional for this problem, as DIY methods may result in further
damage to the skin.
1)
Cutting the Zipper
If skin is caught between the teeth of
the zipper, then removal is fairly simple. The zipper can be cut both above and
below the site where the skin is trapped. The teeth will easily come apart,
freeing the skin.
2)
Cutting the Slider
Sometimes, manhood skin gets trapped in
the sliding mechanism of a zipper. When this occurs, the two faceplates that
make up the front and back of the sliding mechanism can be separated to free
the skin. To do this, a doctor may use a bone cutter, wire cutter or small
hacksaw to sever the median bar that connects the two faceplates.
3) The
Screwdriver Method
If breaking the faceplates apart is not
desirable or deemed too risky, a screwdriver may be used to pry the faceplates
apart and widen the gap between them, enabling the skin to come loose.
4)
Mineral Oil Soak
Some medical professionals advocate
soaking the zipper and skin generously in mineral oil, and allowing that to sit
on the area for 10-20 minutes. It may loosen the skin enough to easily slide
out.
5) Retracing
the Zip
By far one of the least ideal methods,
the manhood skin may be freed by unzipping the zipper back over the entrapped
skin. This can lead to further damage to the skin, and is best left as a last
resort in case other measures fail.
6)
Surgical Removal of the Prepuce
Perhaps the least ideal of all solutions
is emergency surgery when the prepuce is entrapped. This is also a last resort,
and should be considered only in the most severe cases where other options have
proven ineffective.
Cuts and cracks on the male organ are
never a pleasant thing, and a zipper isn’t the only thing that can cause them.
Excess friction from rough solo or partner play can damage the skin. Manhood
tissues may also grow dry from cold weather or chafing against clothing. For
the wellbeing of the tool, men would do well to wear soft cotton undergarments
and to use adequate lubrication when engaging in sensual activity, either
partner- or solo-based.
An extra step men can take to prevent
cuts on the male organ is to use a quality skin care product that keeps the
area moisturized and supple. Ingredients like Shea butter and vitamin E are
beneficial, but by themselves may be too greasy for the male organ skin. That’s
why it’s best to invest in a specially-formulated male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) that goes on smooth and doesn’t clog
the pores like some pure products do. A crème that contains other male
organ-friendly ingredients for proper blood flow and nerve function (such as
L-arginine and acetyl L-carnitine) is ideal. While a crème like this should not
be applied to skin that is broken, it can be used once skin is closed up to
help it heal and become more resilient.
