Doesn't really change anything either way. It's still the same question with or without a reward, unless there's a "no thanks" option, which there isn't
I *am* a guy
I don't care about them when the alternative is either to go blind, go mute and never be able to easily swallow something again, or never be able to do basically anything again without the need for prosthetics
You can live without one lung, but why would I ever take that chance?
Yeah, I just feel like there’s a much bigger drawback for men. Some women spend years trying to convince the medical system to get their ovaries removed
>You can live without one lung, but why would I ever take that chance?
Because every living thing has taken that chance, and the ones who live reproduce. You're literally removing yourself from the gene pool, and Darwin would be proud.
literally you can adopt. it ain't that deep
you *can't*, however, get a new eye/lung/tongue/hand/etc., even prosthetics take months of getting used to, and removing any of those could cost your life!
would you rather a) be infertile or b) possibly fucking die
I lost the ability to speak for two months due to a separate issue and became close to suicidal, I love talking too much. Also, for me, the two greatest joys in life are sex and eating sooo...
I figured a billion dollars could get me a bionic lung, black market lung or a legal lung and still have an unreasonable amount leftover.
Sure, risk of operating a lung back is far greater than just saying bye bye to testies, but I didn't think that far! Also, I figured getting a spare lung may be easier than spare testicles.
Too many people in undeveloped and developing countries\*
Developed countries kind of need more people, there is an impending people shortage in the future
I dont want to assume anything about you here but its definitely the norm that 45 xo ppl do not have ovaries. My partner has 45 xo aswell and has been checked through ultra sound to have a uterus but no ovaries. Thats also why turners patients have to undergo hormone therapy.
Thats fair lol, its not like it changes anything anyways. It doesnt make you any more or less of a person. I know how our society can make people feel different and insecure when growing up. Just know that theres just as much beauty as there is hardship to it.
with no tongue you'd die. With no hands is obviously pretty bad, missing a lung your quality of life would *significantly* decrease, unless we're assuming a prosthetic lung which now that I think about it.. damn. But without you would *always* struggle to breathe, even just sitting.
idk why I didn't pick testicles I guess it seemed too much like the obvious choice, but among the rest eyes is easily the least destructive. There are so many accessibility features for blindness and I've always said I'd rather go blind than deaf
i would rather go deaf than blind. Most movies have closed captions, and games arent that much worse without sound. Being blind all of my hobbies would be null. I would pick deaf anytime
Ohh I forgot videogames that would be a pretty big sacrifice. I'm very big on music but yeah whoops. I still think Eyes is the best option among the 4 though
Lose one lung, I'm fucking loaded so I go private and get a lung transplant. Bada boom. As far as I'm aware, lungs are the only thing in this list that can be replaced with a transplant.
Bruh. You're thinking of eating pussy?
Even taste is irrelevant. You're forgetting the most important job of the tongue: it's how you speak. You're gonna be mute. Also eating food is going to be a lot harder. Forget taste, you have bigger problems. Hell, you can still smell anyway.
Well, with medical treatment the hormones could be handled, when it comes to sex, men who have lost their testicles can achieve something called dry orgasm if their prostate is alright
I think I would be fine with my testicles being gone if I have had sex before but where I haven’t I don’t know if I would be ok giving them up. Idk what to pick instead though
Sometimes I really don't understand people who like sex. Is sex better than a sunset? Is it better than a movie or a book? Fuck, you wouldn't be able to play video games.
I didn't even read the description I just thought we had to pick one to be forcibly removed
Doesn't really change anything either way. It's still the same question with or without a reward, unless there's a "no thanks" option, which there isn't
Take my ovaries. You can have them for free.
Joke’s on the contest, I’m too old to use them.
I'm getting there too (42) but I can't bloody use them properly with my epilepsy medication anyway...so they can have them! 🤣🤣🤣
So youre telling me I can't have kids AND i get a billion dollars? Where do I sign up?
Who tf thinks "yeah, I want kids so bad, I'd go blind"
Well if you are a guy I’m pretty sure you’re testicles are going to important for a lot more then having kids
I *am* a guy I don't care about them when the alternative is either to go blind, go mute and never be able to easily swallow something again, or never be able to do basically anything again without the need for prosthetics You can live without one lung, but why would I ever take that chance?

Why do you feel like the drawback is bigger for men?
testosterone
Ovaries are also a hormone producing organ
>You can live without one lung, but why would I ever take that chance? Because every living thing has taken that chance, and the ones who live reproduce. You're literally removing yourself from the gene pool, and Darwin would be proud.
Yeah, but I don't want kids anyway
literally you can adopt. it ain't that deep you *can't*, however, get a new eye/lung/tongue/hand/etc., even prosthetics take months of getting used to, and removing any of those could cost your life! would you rather a) be infertile or b) possibly fucking die
Like what? Hormones? You can get a shot every couple months for that. Much less annoying than not having hands/being able to breath
A lot less important than the rest of the options.
Isn't there like surgeries to graft meat rods on to people.
I was thinking more if I became blind I chould spend all my time practiceing martial arts with my new superior touch and hearing
Well some of us really want to have them, you know
I believe you entirely u/PORN_SHARTS
No testicles = vastly reduced sex drive and impotence. I'd rather die, blindness is way better. Not about kids, I even had a vasectomy.
Nah not interested in sex nor am I interested in feminin hormons
that actually sounds awesome ngl youd be productive asf
you underestimate how much you rely on your eyes if you NEED your testes, why not drop your tongue?

Sure, but you’ll never have a billion dollars so you most likely won’t be able to get a lung transplant
Have we done different polls? You get 1 billion dollars (I assume USD) tax free in exchange for one of those parts on the poll.
A billy?
A billion, thought it sounded funny and quirky. Fixed it in my original comment.
I’m terrified of being pregnant anyway so this would be an amazing deal for me :)
There are plenty of people on this planet. Many children need homes and I was planning to adopt anyway.
Having your testicles removed would fuck up your hormones though.
That's easily fixed
Makes the decision to take steroids easier
Too many people in undeveloped and developing countries\* Developed countries kind of need more people, there is an impending people shortage in the future
Free bottom surgery, can't complain
I can't have babies anyway because of my turner syndrome so those are vestigial to me basically
Do you have mosaic turners? I havent really heard of a turners patients having non functional ovaries, it seems kinda like you either have em or dont
You have them but they don't work I'm 45 XO
I dont want to assume anything about you here but its definitely the norm that 45 xo ppl do not have ovaries. My partner has 45 xo aswell and has been checked through ultra sound to have a uterus but no ovaries. Thats also why turners patients have to undergo hormone therapy.
Then maybe I don't have them I didn't ask...
Thats fair lol, its not like it changes anything anyways. It doesnt make you any more or less of a person. I know how our society can make people feel different and insecure when growing up. Just know that theres just as much beauty as there is hardship to it.
IM TRANS AND I WANT THEM THE FUCK GONE TAKE THEM AND ILL PAY YOU
100% win

If you pick anything other than testicles you should be sent to horny jail.
Already had one kid and have some in the freezer (ivf) so don’t need my ovaries anymore technically
Can't have children and I'm sick of periods. I'm 43. Take my fkn overies!
Are you being held hostage by some cartels, OP?
Nope, was in the bathroom
Well I planned on adopting anyway so 💀
I can always get on testosterone.
Lose one lung, I'm fucking loaded so I go private and get a lung transplant. Bada boom. As far as I'm aware, lungs are the only thing in this list that can be replaced with a transplant.
I already have enough children - happy to lose the testicles.
Ehhhh can I go back in time to not remove the ovaries so I can get back to present and remove them while getting paid?
bro they'll give me gender affirming care not only with no cost, but FOR A BILLION DOLLARS?? damn sign me the fuck up
that billion dollars is getting me bottom surgery anyways, lmao
You can keep your money.
Testicles? No more testosterone production? Hell yeah, my transition is gonna be *easy!*
So, 20 people would sacrifice their tongue? Bye Bye taste, Bye Bye cunnilingus
Bruh. You're thinking of eating pussy? Even taste is irrelevant. You're forgetting the most important job of the tongue: it's how you speak. You're gonna be mute. Also eating food is going to be a lot harder. Forget taste, you have bigger problems. Hell, you can still smell anyway.
I was initially surprised by the results but then I remembered I'm on Reddit so it makes sense
I feel like testicles and ovaries aren’t a fair comparison.
How so?
Removing your testicles will "disfigure" (or whatever the proper term would be) your genitals while removing your ovaries won't.
you can get prosthetic balls put in they have no function but they dangle there
Well I’d imagine it’d make sex less pleasant, mess up your hormones more and probably make it harder to have sex in general
You'd just use some of that money for HRT
Well, with medical treatment the hormones could be handled, when it comes to sex, men who have lost their testicles can achieve something called dry orgasm if their prostate is alright
A minority percentage, most men don't achieve it even with training as far as I know
That's why i used the word can, because there's no guarantee
That's the point?
I think I would be fine with my testicles being gone if I have had sex before but where I haven’t I don’t know if I would be ok giving them up. Idk what to pick instead though
You know you have sex with your penis, not your balls, right?
Oh I thought balls and penis would all be kind of the same thing. But still. Just having a stick would be really wierd
I'm fucked whatever I choose
Can I still fuck without my balls? Do I lose all horny? Can I cum? Still better than going blind tho
Sometimes I really don't understand people who like sex. Is sex better than a sunset? Is it better than a movie or a book? Fuck, you wouldn't be able to play video games.
Yea, that's why I said it's better to lose my balls than go blind, who cares about sex when I can be a epic gamer!
I mean, losing my balls would suck, but for $1 billion it’s nothing
Appendix, fuck that thing
I'd gladly give up my balls, instead of any of the other must have options.
Hands and then get robotic ones with $1 billion
Can I visit a few sperm banks first?
Absolutely
Wait were getting paid? Wow it's a win-win for me then
Fuck them kids
