Hello jizzers,
I love scientists. Their vision, their imagination and their sacrifice has taken humanity out of the stone age. Where would we be without science? And some scientists have given their all for their research. Think De Rozier fatally crashing his pioneering hot air balloon, or physicist Marie Curie snagging cancer whilst experimenting with radiation.
Michael Smith is such a man. Well, almost.
He hasn’t died but he has suffered greatly for his reasearch. In the name of science, he has boldly let bees sting his tenderest regions. His schlong, ballbag and arse were stung three times over by angry bees, keen to do their worst. Why? To see which areas hurt the most.
And the results from his work? Yes, it really does hurt to let furious bees sting you in the love spuds. It’s not something we would recommend at urabukkake.com, especially just before a bukkake session, but it’s a fascinating article all the same.

I Let Bee Sting Me On The Penis And The Scrotum To See Which Hurt More
By Rod McPhee
But boffin Michael Smith reckons a sting on the nose was the most painful of all
Balls to that idea: Michael Smith allowed a bee to sting his scrotum
Scientists have always enjoyed Eureka! moments.
That was the very word Archimedes used when he jumped out of his bath, and Isaac Newton must have felt much the same when an apple fell on his head.
The apple might have smarted a little, but it was nothing compared to the pain Michael Smith experienced when a wayward honey bee inadvertently flew up his shorts and stung him on the scrotum.
But that was the spur for the scientist to explore how pain affects humans – by forcing the insects to sting him, literally from head to toe, over five weeks.
The subject of exactly where would hurt the most had already come up in conversation between Michael – a postgraduate studying bee behaviour – and his colleagues at Cornell University, New York.
He said: “If you’re wearing shorts and doing bee work, a bee can get up there easily.
“We speculated it probably really would hurt to get stung in the testicles. Two days later, by chance, I did get stung there.
“But I was really surprised that it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would.”
So, in the name of science, he put himself through the pain barrier.
On being stung in the genitals again, he recalled: “It wasn’t a pleasurable experience, put it that way. It didn’t worry me. I knew the swelling would go down.”
“I’m actually recently single – happily single – which is absolutely nothing to do with this study. I was not worried at all that I would lose any ability down south.”
And despite being stung on his most sensitive areas, he can confirm the worst place, rather surprisingly, is the nose.
He explained: “If you’re stung in the nose and the penis, you’re going to want more stings to the penis, over the nose –if you’re forced to choose. There’s definitely no crossing of wires of pleasure and pain down there. It’s painful. Getting stung on the nose is a whole body experience. Your body really reacts. You’re sneezing and wheezing and snot is just dribbling out. It’s electric and pulsating.”
Michael, who previously studied bee-keeping at United World College of the Atlantic, near Cardiff, took agitated bees in forceps and applied them to 25 different areas of his body. He then rated the resulting pain from zero to ten.
And he did not do just do it once – the human guinea pig stung himself three times in each area.
At times he needed to use a mirror and adopt some awkward poses to get to some harder to reach areas. But he wanted to go even further.
He said: “I originally had the eye on the list, but when I talked to my advisor, he was concerned I might go blind. I wanted to keep my eyes.”
The findings’ long-term usefulness may not be obvious, but the results, published this week in scientific journal PeerJ, are certainly unexpected and thought-provoking.
It turns out the more delicate parts of the body do not react as badly to bee stings compared to areas where you might expect the skin to be thicker and less sensitive.
Although his testicles were the fourth worst place to be stung – with a pain rating of 7.0 – that was only equally as painful as being stung in the palm and the cheek. The penis was only marginally more uncomfortable with a 7.3 rating.
His nostril with a rating of 9.0 was the most painful, with the upper lip not far behind on 8.7.

And the least painful, with ratings averaging 2.3, was the upper arm, the middle toe and the head.
He said: “Getting stung on the top of the skull was like having an egg smashed on your head. The pain is there, but then it goes away.”
Michael now believes the pain map he developed could be relevant to other types of hurt and injury.
He said: “With a healthy pinch of salt, I would say it’s applicable to other types of pain.
“What’s interesting is that just because you’re sensitive to a place via touch doesn’t mean you’ll be sensitive to a place via pain.
“We do have a poor understanding of pain and how it is perceived.”
But he admitted others may have very different sensitivities to him. Michael added: “If someone else did this, they’d probably have different locations that they felt were worst.”
Whether anyone is willing to volunteer is another matter.
