SpeedoGuy: Ever notice that turnstiles in amusement parks, public transit centers, theaters, concerts, etc  seem specifically designed to bash and impact directly on the nads? Why is this?
 
I'll agree- right in the nads!   Particularly the ones at my local grocery store, which are also designed to poke you in the ass if you try to back up after they have snagged your jewels.  Maybe this is the only thrill some people can get...
 
fitdude: I resemble that remark. :D Nuts get it in the front and bubble butt get in from behind. Cheap pleasure makers for me. Hehe.
 
7x6andchg: Dee and DMW-

Perhaps we have found a benefit to being shorter males - I, too, get the bellybutton to bladder area when going through them...

Steve26: I've learned, after being bashed in the nuts one too many times, that it's best to shuffle through turnstiles kind of sideways, or at a slight angle so at least I'm pushing it with my hipbone. There's one in the building I work in that's particularly evil ... it often remains "locked" even when your ID card has been properly swiped. Yeow!!

Steve ;)
 
And I, being taller (and more hung), walk through an airport turnstile when I'm going to Bangkok.
 
tott666: I once saw this very tall and skinny guy who walked OVER the "arms" of a turnstile. :eek:

Hmmm ... was that guy, by any chance, an American Indian? ;)

Depends. He couldn't be Hopi, for example.

I'm actually short for being from the Great Plains, probably from my Mexican ancestry. Men usually end up at just under two meters on the Ridge. (In fact, basketball's popular for just this reason.)
 
SpeedoGuy: LOL!

I agree with Steve26.

I've learned a semi-sideways hip sneak through the damned things. Youch!

Two meters?! Wow. I'm not good with metric, but that would make your 10.5" look short. Oh, wait, maybe you mean height. :)

Seriously folks, I just walk under turnstiles.
 
ceg1526: There's a learning curve here - I automatically hit any turnstyle or whatever those one armed things are called with the side of my hip.

ace420: I turn to the side. But don't miss or get surprised or you will regret it.

Actually, I'm surprised the guys who bang their balls are so short. On the average turnstile, the upper-most part is  three feet above the ground, IIRC. (I should've explained, that's the part I hit my penis on. Usually it's because I'm talking to someone while walking through so I forget to push. I know, it's braindead, but what am I going to do?)
 
I'm 5'10"
and the turnstile hits me right in the
crotch.

I always turn sideways and hit it
with my left hip.
always.
 
Jake27: :D Same here. I found if I remember to get my hand on the turnstile to protect myself, I do alright. If not, I get it right in the balls. LOL
