Scrotal inflation

Scrotal inflation, or scrotal infusion, is an unusual[1] sexual practice in which fluid (typically saline solution, but sometimes air or another gas[2]) is injected into the scrotum in order to make it balloon in size.[1] It carries a number of risks of serious complications, including scrotal cellulitis[3] and subcutaneous emphysema,[2][4] and possibly fatal complications such as Fournier's gangrene or air embolism.[3]
