Scrotal inflation

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