Wesley Warren Jr., better known as "The Man With The 132-Lb. ? ," has two objectives right now: He wants to make money and speak the truth.
In May of 2008, in a household mishap, the Las Vegas man took a blow to his right ? . "I woke up the next day, and my ? was the size of a honeydew melon," he tells Marc Lamont Hill on HuffPost Live. "My personal hell was just beginning."
With every passing month, Warren's ? grew 3 pounds or more. And with no health insurance, he had little opportunity to seek help, until he became internationally known for his freakish bulge.
To cradle his watermelon-sized sex ? , he wore a hooded sweatshirt as pants, using the hood as a makeshift ? sling.
"Even when I got offers to help, it was hard," he tells HuffPost. "My ? was so large I couldn't get on a plane. I was too big to use an airplane restroom."
TLC's "The Man With the 132-Lb ? " premieres Monday at 9 p.m. ET. It's been five months since Warren has had surgery to remove the excess tissue in his groin. But it's hard, even now, for him to look back.
"The show is frighteningly real to me," the 49-year-old man says, recounting how the simplest tasks, like walking or going to the bathroom, became impossible.

Warren raised donations any way he could. Radio talk show host Howard Stern got listeners to send Warren to see Dr. Joel Gelman, a California urologist who specializes in scrotal lymphedema, a disorder that causes the ? to become "extremely large as lymph fluid and tissue accumulates."
The surgery required 13 hours on the operating table. Warren tipped the scale at 552 pounds when he went in, and left 200 pounds lighter. Gelman found his ? was buried "under a foot of tissue."
"It didn't have to be this way," Warren says.
While Warren is the first to admit he needs to make several lifestyle changes, especially when it comes to his voracious diet, he wishes, like many Americans, he had better access to healthcare.
"Right now, we have one party in this country that can stifle everything," he says. "I actually get where the Republicans are coming from. But we've become what the old Soviet Union used to be -- a country that can't meet the basic needs of its people. That's sad."
To make matters worse, Warren complained the media distorted his story. A report in the Las Vegas Review Journal suggested Warren was so enamored of his newfound celebrity that he was ambivalent to accept free offers for surgery. That article was picked up by HuffPost Weird News and several other sources.
"The story simply wasn't true," Warren says. "And it made it harder for me to receive help."
Warren has had absolutely no qualms about talking to Stern, Comedy Central and other comedy shows. In fact, he says he would love to parlay his media fame into a talk show. He considers it just one way to make the best out of a bad situation. But he maintains he never stopped seeking medical help.
A complete recovery is still a long way off. Warren still requires more surgery. He has no sex drive and "little or no testosterone" as a result of his condition.
But maybe no sex life was a blessing in disguise, he says, given his condition.
"Imagine if I had desires," Warren says. "There isn't anything I could've done about it. That would be a personal kind of hell."
? it, you have to turn a negative into a positive. I would have a shortly lived career in porn with the stage name "Blue ? ." Ladies, do you think chicks want to lick this ? 's nuts as a matter of general principle?

How the ? do you jus let that happen to you. Your nuts dont get like this overnight. Insurance or not, I'd take my ass to the hospital first day I even suspect something. ? I may be broke and homeless from medical bills but at least my nads will be cured.
