Chello Scrotum Hoax and Gaming

The condition known as Chello Scrotum which causes discomfort in the genital area after sitting playing the instrument for some time is a hoax. Baroness Murphy who originally submitted the condition the BMJ in the 70´s admitted it was made up, and furthermore observing the stance of someone playing the chello would make it clear that it would not be physically possible.

I have to admit however that sitting forward in a chair, playing games in front of the computer for a few hours leads to a similar condition, in which the seam of the jeans cuts into the scrotum and causes pain. The cure is to stand up temporarily which causes more pain for a short term before allowing you to re-adjust your clothing accordingly and further pursuing your pastime.
