Woman held husband’s testicle to stop him from snoring: NZ radio show

Woman shocks radio hosts by revealing her husband’s bizarre theory for why he couldn’t stop snoring – and how she was able to ‘fix’ the problem


A woman has claimed her husband tricked her into cupping his testicles for three years as part of a bizarre prank.

In a segment on New Zealand radio station The Rock, a listener named Lara called in to share the awkward story with hosts Duncan Heyde and Jay Reeve.

‘So when my husband and I first started going out, he was a really bad snorer,’ she explained.

‘And what he told me was that when he lay on his back, his balls would cover his anus and create an airlock and that’s why he snores,’ she continued.

This ludicrous suggestion caused the two hosts to burst into hysterical laughter.

Jay chimed in: ‘Did you at any stage while he was snoring just test it by picking them up to see if they weren’t blocking his toot hole?’

Lara then offered a very surprising response.

‘I cradled his balls for three years before I figured it out,’ she said. 

Really? The woman claimed she had cupped her husband's balls for three years every night to stop him from snoring. There is no scientific evidence to support this 'treatment'

Despite the entertainment value of the story, it’s unclear how much of the tall tale is actually true.

Cupping her husband’s balls would not actually prevent snoring, so why would Lara continue to do it for three years?

Lara would also most likely have trouble sleeping herself if she had to cup her husband’s balls all night, so it’s hard to believe she would continue doing so for three straight years.

Another glaring inconsistency is that no normal person would ever believe testicles could create an ‘airlock’ that would result in snoring, no matter how gullible.

Also, most testicles, no matter how saggy, could not physically hang that low to cover somebody’s anus.
