Having my family globules lovingly jiggled by a pretty girl is one of the best things in the world, period.

To lose the two nuts that live downstairs would be losing a lot of my manhood and my happiness in life.


Thank you, that's a satisfying answer with a good point. :beer:

Don't think I'm promoting this, I'm just in it for the discussion.

Okay. Place hormone production in another organ as well (or just make an organ up).

I mean, we're in the age of streamlining, why not streamline male genitalia?

My life's pretty active physically, and I know testicles haven't given me a very easy time, but I'm not promoting this or anything. I haven't even decided myself. I just wondered what anybody else might think about this.

They have hormone injections...that way you can control exeactly how much testosterone (or estrogen if you're governor Mcgreevy) Who said that? But anyway, i've heard of pro body builders have a double orchiectomy (operation to remove them) because it does something, i can't remember what...but it happens, i swear.

That doesn't surprise me. Body-builders (especially extremely devout ones) sacrafice a lot of stuff to be just a pinch better than the others.

Ah, yes, I knew the topic of erogenoustic value would come up... and it's true. But it's been proven that the area behind and just under the testicles is equally as stimulating. You'd still have that. Are you willing to sacrafice a life of convenience for a few minutes of woman-handling a few times a month?


Are they really *THAT* inconvenient to you?

Somehow, I feel that subconsciously, you're starting to desire a sex-change operation.

I can argue both sides; and I have been, but you're failing to see that for some reason. Testicles aren't what defines a male from a female anyway, they have two organs very similar. The penis and the vagina are what contrast the definitions of the two, and I am VERY far from sacraficing my penis. You seem to be blurring the lines between physical convenience and sexual preference. Try not to.
 
I've got Big Balls.

Some Balls are held for charity.
And some for Fancy dress.
but when they're held for pleasure
they're the balls that I love best.

My Balls are always bouncing
to the left and to the right.
It is my belief that my big balls
should be held every night.

😀

Oh that song's a classic. Best double-meaning wordplay ever.
 
If it would change my bodily functions in NO way whatsoever, then yeah...why not? They do get uncomfortable sometimes, and you can't always reach down and do a little adjustment...or scratch for that matter. *shrug* If they served no purpose (like the appendix), then I'd have no issue having them removed.

No, I wouldn't. The penis provides too many functions.

shimsham
why not just get a sex change?

Because that would also involve the penis.

i mean that the penis gets in the way too. you could figure out some way to stash it inside too.

Very good point. I can't count the number of times I've had a horrible itch where scratching it wasn't an option. Especially when you're in the spotlight.

At these times you have to employ intricate tactics like leg slides and chair shifts to eleviate the itch.

And break-dancing would be easier too.

Yeah, the penis CAN get in the way, but not nearly as much as the testicles. And it doesn't hurt nearly as much to take a hit with it, and it's not as vulnerable.
 
Is it me or is this thread as completely worthless as you're making the boys? Yes, if you completely removed the need for testicles, people wouldn't have testicles. Same reason I don't have ovaries; I don't need them. Basically, you're making the testicles into the appendix. Find something better to do.
 
Sure, the vulnerability kinda sucks, and they can be a minor nuisance, but personally neither of those bother me much. I rarely suffer a nutshot. To me, their role in sex, purely pleasure-wise, is enough to keep them around.

But yeah, if you were to design human 2.0, obviously they're something that could be improved. I don't know why sperm needs to live at a lower temperature, but I'm sure somehow mother nature could have made sperm tougher and just put the nuts inside of the body, instead of the current situation.

But people do have testicles, and I'm forming a hypothetical situation to see how people would respond to the choice. I guess I don't see what your point is in posting that, being that the appendix (yes it is a vestigial organ, good job) is internal and poses no reoccuring annoyance. I'm not asking "hey if your heart didn't pump blood would you still want it?"

You're typing without thinking first in a desperate attempt to form a point and failing, "find something better to do."
 
It's a ridiculous concept. That's basically all you're asking, "If you had a benign tumor that once represented manliness would you keep it?" And for your information, I have absolutely nothing better to do. 😛

Damn I'm drunk. Lol...
 
I could live with them being smaller, for sure. I mean, what good does size do with balls other than make your shorts tight? I go commando for a reason. lol
