Hanging Wedgie

A wedgie where the victim is suspended by their underwear, which usually causes the undies to rip very quickly. Sometimes, however, the underwear are strong enough to keep the victim suspended, causing intense pain in the crotch and butt.
I was walking back to my dorm after my last class of the day when a guy jumped me. He dragged me to a park, when I recognized him as a guy who used to bully me in high school. He reached into the back of my pants and gave me a wedgie. “Tighty-whities? I shouldn’t be surprised,” he said, continuing to yank my undies up my butt. He pulled my pants down, exposing my butt cheeks. I was in shock, so all I could to was squirm and whimper as he kept pulling. Eventually, he got bored and left me in a painful hanging wedgie on the playground equipment. My briefs didn’t rip for hours, so I was stuck up there, crying from the pain. That was the first of many hanging wedgies I would receive.

And a garlic flavored wooden stake Electromagnetic Pulse antivirus firing machine. Seriously that made it so easy. Anyways yeah there were a bunch of explosions. Fuck yeah!'
