What Is It About Men And Balls?

Yes, I know men do possess balls.(Although I’m not sure about Gordon Brown now that he’s ratified that treaty without asking the consent of the electorate.) Maybe that’s why men have an affinity with anything relatively circular in shape: footballs, snooker balls, beer glasses, women’s bottoms (regrettably, this doesn’t include mine as it’s round shape has become somewhat elongated over the past decade) and of course… breasts.

Women know men are particularly stupid about round things and even the thickest women know that if they stuff their breasts with large amounts of silicone so their breasts have a taut and bulging roundness they will become instantly more desirable to the opposite sex. Personally, I think cotton wool is so much easier: it’s a hell of a lot cheaper, softer, easily removable and won’t knock your partner out if you accidentally squash him during a passionate love making session.

Yep, men like round things.They can’t stop playing with them either. Have you noticed they’re always fiddling with them? On the cricket field those boxes always seem to require adjusting, on their desk at work they have a little squidgy ball that they can fiddle with every time they remember they can’t multi-task and they particularly love those round soaps on a rope as a Christmas gift. (I think this is just so they can drop it in the bath and have lots of fun finding it.)

Men spend hours and hours kicking balls, throwing balls and, of course, watching balls. Yes, I’m sure I’m not the first woman who has been mightily displeased during the throws of ecstasy to find herself listening to the football scores.Men take note – if you want your woman to be satisfied turn the telly off. (Unless Alan Hanson is commentating which may in fact increase her libido. You know what? There’s just something about that guy and it not jus just his wallet…)

Why men haven’t developed a game called “Handball” instead of “Football”, I don’t know. Then they’d have the perfect excuse to feel their balls all the time, rather than making a sorry excuse by pretending they don’t care by kicking them, heading them, bouncing them off their chests and feebly crying “handball!” should one accidentally touch them.

I’m not saying women don’t like round things too because I particularly like a number of round things which include:

Pound coins. (They have a certain feel about them which is pretty good and if they just happen to be in Alan Hanson’s pocket I’d be even more pleased.)

Chocolate Footballs. ( The only kind of footballs that require my undivided attention.)

Chocolate chip muffins. ( Even more satisfying than chocolate footballs.)

Round tins. ( Containing Quality Street, Roses or perhaps Celebrations.)

Men’s arses. ( Yes, a pert round bottom is very attractive but, alas, even though we women spend hours watching football we don’t even get to look at any nice ones as they’re all hidden underneath those truly horrendous baggy football shorts. I say bring back those tight seventies shorts and let us have some pleasure whilst we stand in the cold.)

Good. Now I’ve got that off my not very round chest, I’m going to have my lunch; a banana, I think. A much more interesting proposition……
