You want to be in Constantinople in 400, not Rome. Say you're from a very distant land and you'd like to tell the emperor about a lil thing called 8 minute abs

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
