5 Things Every Man Should Know About His Balls

Everyone knows that testicles are the most sensitive part of a male body, and they try to protect the testicles with their lives because they can hurt a man pretty severely. Here are five things that every man should know about his balls.

1. The testicles are located outside the body for a reason

Have you ever wondered why the testes are located uncomfortably outside of your body, hanging weirdly in between your crotch?

You may have your complaints sometimes, but there is a solid reason as to why the testes are located outside of your body, dude.

The testes are where sperm cells are created and as you may already know (you should) the sperm cells are highly vulnerable to heat.

In fact, they are so vulnerable to it that even your own body's natural inner heat can easily kill them off.

That's why, by the design of the intelligent universe, the sperm bank a.k.a testicles are placed outside the body so that they can breathe colder air.

Isn’t that pretty neat? With that said, you also need to take care of the testes so as not to expose them to high heat from electronic radiations.

2. Balls are where sperm cells and other male hormones are produced

The balls a.k.a testicles are all about your fertility as well as your manhood. The balls are where the sperm cells are produced, only when you have stable levels of testosterone.

In fact, testosterone is also produced in the testicles. However, the balls are not the only players when it comes to ensuring a steady production of testosterone and other male hormones.

There are also some things called the adrenal glands, it is from here that the androgens are produced, which then get sent to the balls for them to produce testosterone.

Adrenals glands are located above your kidneys and the production of androgens is also super important because testosterone itself is just one variety of androgens.

If you care about your reproductive system, it is important to pay close attention to the health of the kidneys and adrenal glands.

3. The scrotum is the male equivalent of a female’s vulva

Well, almost. After all, nobody knows for sure how to exactly compare the two in terms of actual sexual sensations.

But health professionals can tell you that the nerve compositions of the female vulva and labia, in comparison to the male scrotum are almost identical.

With that said, it is absolutely recommended for women to play with their guy's scrotum during sex.

Although that's not the highway to making a guy orgasm, the sensations of gentle strokes on this part of the male body still feel pretty dang good.

With that said, if a guy really wants his girl to play with his scrotum for that added crazy sexual stimulation, he had better make sure his balls are cleaned properly.

Nobody wants to touch dirty balls that feel sticky thanks to sweat.

Plus, nobody will enjoy oral down there if they are kind of smelly, right?

4. Each ball is different and unique

You know, just like the female boobs that are often unidentical in size, the balls are also just like that.

Usually, it's the right ball that is a bit bigger than the other. Also, the left ball tends to hang just a tiny bit slower than the right ball.

This is done for a reason and is not a random mistake by nature. The difference in height serves a great purpose in terms of temperature adjustment.

When the balls are dangling at different heights, the body is able to adjust the temperature of one ball without affecting the other. That's some pretty neat mechanism, no?

That way, when one ball needs more cooling and the other doesn't, the one that doesn't need the adjustment can remain at its constant temperature.

Most men usually aren't aware of the feeling when their balls change position to adjust their temperature.

5. When referring to the balls, you’re really referring to the scrotum

A lot of people will simply call that dangling part of the body ?balls?, but the balls you're referring to are actually hidden inside the scrotum.

The actual testicles are two balls that can't be seen with the physical eyes because there is the sac of skin (scrotum) that encases them.

So, when people talk about how sensitive the balls are or when they talk about ?hairy balls?, they are actually referring to the sac of skin that is actually the scrotum. The scrotum surely is popular but misunderstood!

However, it is still true that the real balls, which are the testicles, are the place where sperm cells and male hormones are produced.

Whatever the case, it is still super important for guys to pay close attention to the hygiene of their scrotum for health reasons if they don't want to affect the balls? ability to maintain fertility.

6. Balls are extra sensitive

You may wonder why you always protect your balls when you get into close contact with anything. It’s because the scrotum is so sensitive.

And this is why you cringe in your balls whenever you see a painful tackle. This sensitivity is due to the concentration of nerve endings that makes the area erogenous to touch.

The nerve massing around here is similar to those found in the vulva of any female. Thus the sensitivity is equally high.

Still, it’s not as sensitive to touch as say the shaft or the penis gland. But it’s fun to sensually play with as this touch adds to the overall arousal.

The purpose of the ball is to make sperm. And since the conducive environment of making sperm is so delicate, the ball is equally fragile.

They are sensitive to even a minor temperate variation. Your ball tends to hang more loosely when it’s hot and retract near the skin when it’s cold.

7. Testicular cancer is deadly

Though a lot of attention is given to prostate cancer, the cancer of the testis is thought to be more dangerous due to low detection.

Signs of testicular cancer include aches and pain in your back, groin, belly, and scrotum. Sometimes the infection alters the size and shape of the balls. You may also notice lumps on any of the balls.

Worst still, testicular cancer is more prevalent in younger men, and mostly afflicts men between the ages of 20 to 35 years.

Testicular cancer doesn’t even present any symptoms. By the time you identify these telltale signs, it’s probably too late and would have spread uncontrollably.

The reason why it’s hard for testicular cancer detected early is that it can grow within the testis without pressing any bone or tissues nearby. So you wouldn’t feel any pain initially.

The soft detached skin of your balls also prevents identification in good time.
