One children’s hospital in the progressive city of Portland, Oregon, is now under fire after publishing a handout directing gender-confused boys to tape their genitals and visit a local sex shop.
Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, pediatric in Portland, Oregon, has now faced criticism over their guidance from the “Gender Clinic”.
“Tucking is moving the penis, testicles, or both out of the way. This makes the genital area look smoother and flatter,” the document notes. “Tucking can reduce any concerns you have about your body, how your clothes fit and how safe you feel in public. People of all genders can tuck.”
The children’s hospital notes. “This information uses the words ‘penis,’ ‘scrotum,’ and ‘testicles.’ We know you may not use those terms or identify with them. We use them here to refer to body parts that people with tucking needs have while understanding those words are not for everyone.”
Despite the guidance being directed to males with male genitalia, the hospital asserts, “People of all genders can tuck.”

The document presents three methods for children interested in tucking: taping their genitals or wearing tight, spandex-laden underwear, or “putting your testicles inside your body.”
The hospital even encourages children “try it out at home.”
“It is best to tuck for the first time when you are planning to be at home,” the recommendation explains. “This keeps you from stressing about having to get it right the first time. It is also easier to learn what your body needs to be comfortable when you tuck.”
Below is the children’s hospital gives step-by-step instructions for boys on how to tuck their genitals reported by The Blaze:
- Lie down with your underwear halfway up your legs. Lying down helps you avoid losing your balance during the final step. You are now ready to tuck your testicles up inside your body.
- You have two spaces inside your belly called the inguinal canals. Your testicles go here naturally when it is very cold. Getting in a tub of cold water can help you find the inguinal canals, as your testicles will naturally be drawn towards them.
- Press gently on your testicles with two or three fingers, and try to guide them into the inguinal canals. This can feel strange at first, possibly even uncomfortable. You should not feel faint or nauseated or have extreme pain. If you do, take a break and try again later.
- Once the testicles are tucked, pull the penis back between your legs. If you find yourself getting aroused, take a break and try again later. An erection will make it impossible to tuck.
- Holding the penis in place, slide your underwear up so that it holds the tuck. You may need to do some adjustment for comfort.
- The children’s hospital acknowledges, “Some discomfort is normal, though not all people have it. Most people’s bodies get used to tucking this way.”
- The children’s hospital provides boys with illustrations on “safe tucking.”
