Ask the man with one testicle.

My neighbor’s child had to have one testicle removed after it became twisted. She’s been extremely upset about this and wondered if he would have to go on hormones or be unable to father children.

Thanks for the thread, Tristan. I know my friend will sleep better knowing that you didn’t have any problems.

According to my urologist, the testicles are surprisingly separate in terms of how they function. So one can be lost without affecting the functioning of the other one at all. In fact, the lone one will often work that little bit harder (and be a bit larger than normal) to take up the slack in the system.

I must apologize Tristan. I have no idea how such a cruel twist has played out on these boards. I would return that lost item if I could.

Yep. Three here. The third is more like a mass of seminal tubes. When kicked, I’d choose nut 1 or nut 2 to be in front, rather than the massTM.

My fish can swim. 1 kid.

Being that I am Tristan’s mommy I can add a little background to this…although he may not want me to…so I will check back tonight to see if I get a tumbs up for the explaination…

his Mommy…

aka…

Kat Lady, 2 kids, 2 grandkids, 4 cats, no money :slight_smile:

If someone tells you, “Hey Tristan, that sure took a lot of balls!” do you say “Au contraire!”?

One of my co-workers lost a testicle to cancer a couple of decades ago.

He’s got 5 kids. No problems there.

Also, he’s Catholic. :slight_smile:

I’ve never asked him if crossing legs is more comfortable now though!

:eek:

Have gonad. Will travel.

You know how men are always adjusting themselves in their underwear? Did you end up doing that less?

At the other end of the spectrum, I knew a guy who sustained an injury at a high school wrestling match. His opponent grabbed his unitard and pulled up…SPLITTING one of his testicles. So, like some strange amoeba, it just resolved itself into 2 or 3 separate little testicles. (No, I’ve never seen it.) His equipment seems fine - he’s got three kids now (although one of them looks suspiciously like a “good friend” of his.)

One of my childhood friends was also testicle-capable. After he grew up, he ended up becoming a very rotund man, weighing close to 300 pounds.

Tristan,

I don’t even play a doctor on TV, but I’m reasoning that slightly reduced testosterone production didn’t help his weight problem, so are you a heavy man too?

How does the man with one testicle feel about having his mom show up to talk to everyone else about her son’s uniball?

:eek:

Ever think of having a lotion dispenser installed in the empty socket? I know that’d save me a lot of time with my unit.

Dude! His mom is in the room!

But anyway…so your testicle just up and vanished, huh? What would happen if the other one decided to follow suit? Has a doctor ever mentioned the possibility of lightning striking twice in the same place, so to speak? And if so, would that just end all testosterone production?

Happy

So, does it keep to its own side, or does it wander freely back and forth? Or just sit in the middle perhaps?

Did you klep out of eunuchs programming?

I’d love the missing info that “mom” may provide. Hopefully.

My 12-year old son was born with only one. No problems.

I’m a bit skeptical of a person being born with two, and years later one gets “absorbed.” But that’s my nature.

No question, but I just have to tell this story.

I have a friend who is also of the monogonadal persuasion. One night he was engaged in amorous escapades with a young lady who he had only recently started sleeping with.

He told me, "She was sort of rummaging around down there, and I could tell she was counting. And she was puzzled, because no many how many times she counted it kept coming out “ONE” “ONE” “ONE” :confused:

When she came up for air, she looked at him and said in surprise, “You have only one ball!”

He snorted and said, with a perfectly straight face, “Of course! Whadda talking about, it’s not as if other guys have more!”

When you are really busy, does anyone ever tell you that you’re working your ball off?

This thread is really weird.
