If you think your clothes will keep dick ticks from happening then you clearly haven’t encountered many ticks.

That's what the permethrin is for

Damn, I wish I'd thought of that before my mom's PCOS gave me one.

Aight, Imma tell it.

Showering and saw a tiny black spot under my dick in the V-shaped area where the shaft meets the head. Thought it was a piece of dirt as I had been fucking around at camp and getting filthy. You already know how this ends.

Oh no.

That was way worse than mine. I was probably around 5 years old and it was on my balls. I had no idea what it was, but fortunately, my parents quickly picked up on what was going on since I was grabbing my junk a ton that day. I was fine and it was just a dog tick, but the whole encounter was still nasty.

Somehow both better than when I got a tick on my taint. However because it's an awkward spot, I had to lay on my back like a baby getting my diaper changed well my significant other tweezed it off.

Learned that ticks love warm spots before they dig in for a snack. Groins, armpits, behind ears. So check your taint, balls and ass after every hike.

Damn bro, getting your dick sucked for ages for free!

That's nightmare fuel right there. I don't even have a dick, and I still cringed in horror.

You better hope not.

This is a genuine thing that happened to my cousin while in the army. No one believed at first, but he had clear proof after everyone gathered around to see it before he went off to the nurse

EDIT: at the very tip
