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?
"Not I," said the Blackthorne. Maybe I'm shorter or my torso's set differently, but the turnstiles usually get me at the end of my abs, almost over my bladder. The boys are fine.
fitdude: I resemble that remark. 
Nuts get it in the front and bubble butt get in from behind. Cheap pleasure makers for me. Hehe.

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!!

tott666: I once saw this very tall and skinny guy who walked OVER the "arms" of a turnstile.

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.

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?)

Jake27: 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
