It seems to me, the reason this was found for the first time, is because this was the first time someone bothered to look.

    If you apply a steady "milking" motion to the penis over several minutes, you will eventually coax it into releasing some microplastics from the tip. Believe me, if feels good to get rid of those microplastics.

    Practicing this regularly will keep your penis microplastic-free.

    More importantly is it hard or soft microplastics.

    I’ve kind of accepted my fate as an organic container that holds plastic.

    Well if there's a possibility an event will start a movement to fix it, this is the event.

    It was only a matter of time, they first found microplastics in a man's testicles. Scientists finding microplastics in a man's penis was bound to happen sooner or later. Hopefully, this will inject a strong sense of fervor in the quest to filter or destroy microplastics in the environment. Also, to reduce the usage of plastic in general!

    Obligatory defeatist response:

    Until it becomes cost effective to reduce the use of plastics, or a personal tragedy of someone close to a big enough decision-maker, the status quo will remain the same.
