Dear Daisy,
Why are hits in the testicles so painful?? I accidentally kicked my boyfriend between the legs yesterday and it seemed to hurt him a great deal. I know that I may have done some real damage. Could I have made him sterile? He was doubled up on the ground for about five minutes coughing and crying.

The accidental testicle

Dear Testicle,
Ouch! Hits to the testicles can really hurt because the genitals is one body part that has a very high concentration of nerves as compared to many other parts of the body, where nerves are more equally distributed. As a result, a light touch to the testes feels good, while a tight squeeze, hard yank, or heavy kick to the balls hurts like a Mother-fucker, unless that is what you are in to, even then take caution.
Whether or not such a blow can cause sterility is dependent on the severity of the impact. Under ordinary circumstances, getting whacked in the groin will not cause sterility. However, if a bruise develops, and if it's very large and major bleeding under the skin occurs, then this is something that needs to be looked at by a health care provider as sterility is a remote possibility.

Dear Daisy,
I like to have friends over quite often and, as a polite hostess, I offer everyone something to drink. But if I have a large group over there are lots of glasses to wash and clean up afterwards! How many people should be over in order to make getting out the plastic cups appropriate?

Dearest Not Martha,
White gloves and Party Manners has always been my bucket of water. I think that bringing out plastic cups is appropriate when more than seven people are having drinks or when you have more people needing drinks than you have matching glasses, whichever comes first.
You don't want to let people use every single glass you own, because cleanup is a real drag. Why should casual get-togethers be stressful? And you wouldn't want to be enjoying drinks with your friends and have one person wonder why everyone else is drinking out of glasses but they're drinking out of a giant plastic Batman Returns cup from Taco Bell.

Dear Daisy,
An ex-boyfriend of mine recently came out of the closet. I was his last serious relationship, but he casually dated other women after me. Did I make him gay?

Dear Recruiter,
Probably not, were there no signals? I mean, I've dated some pretty heinous dudes in my day, but I still like guys pretty well. I imagine it would be difficult to change someone's sexual orientation-those kinds of things tend to be set the way they are.
It's more likely that he was (gasp!) GAY WHEN YOU WERE DATING. People do funny things when they're still in the closet, like have heterosexual relationships. Hmmm, Imagine that!

Dear Daisy,
Is there any nutritional reason for me to eat corn? It always comes out in my poop. Am I wasting my time?
-Corn in my crap

Dear Corn,
Corn (cooked or raw) is low in fat and calories and provides almost three grams of dietary fiber as well as protein per ear. White corn is deficient in vitamin A, while yellow corn is plentiful. Both offer moderate amounts of folacin and vitamin C, with magnesium and potassium in abundant quantity.
As for wasting your time, yes. Eating corn is a waste of time. You can get WAAAAY more vitamins and minerals from eating that genetically engineered corn. Eating good old Mother Nature's corn just doesn't get them in fast enough!

Dear Daisy,
Where does mayonnaise come from?

Dear Lover,
I hate to be a Bitch, but could you please refrain from ending your questions in prepositions? Thanks. As for your question, mayonnaise comes from Englewood Cliffs, NY, and The home of Bestfoods, which owns Hellman's corporation. Feel free to give them a call at 1-800-338-8831.
