Ask the man with one testicle.

It’s not clear what you’re saying here. Do you mean that one of your son’s testicles never descended? Get your son to a urologist immediately. The rule is that a male with an undescended testicle needs to be operated on to bring it down to the groin. I believe that the general opinion used to be that this should be done before the age of 6, but now many think it should be done before the age of 2. Undescended testicles frequently become cancerous.

Wow, I had no idea the thread would take off like this…

Ok, yes, there are a ton and a half of jokes. My good frinds refer to that little ball of Nitrogen (or whatever it is) in the bottom of a can of guiness as “Tristan’s Ball”. It’s all in good fun.

As far as I know, my testosterone is fine. I get angry, and horny, just like everyone else. And I hardly spot at all on my period…

Just kidding. But seriously, body hair and everything. I am a tad overweight, but I think of that more as a result of genetic disposition and incredibly bad eating habits. When I do work out, I shed weight fairly quickly.

beagledave- No, but if I stretch and breath right, I can sling it over my soldier, as if I were a soldier of some sort.

dorkusmalorkusmafia- if I had a camera, I would share. I have little to no body modesty. My hippy mother, I think.

mom, and those concerned- My mother and I have one of the oddest relationships I’ve ever seen. I have no problem discussing this sort of thing. In fact, she may be able to provide info I don’t know, or have forgotten.

miamouse- I’ve been assured by ex-wife and my family that I have my hand in my pants as much as any other guy. I’m no Al Bundy, but I have my moments…

Turbo Dog- I’ve known all the lyrics since I was 12. Love that song. Heard it today, in fact.

others- I myself have been really surprised to learn just how versatile the gonads are. While I sometimes wonder what differences may be, I really don’t know. All of puberty and beyond has been a one-ball adventure, so I have no basis for comparison.

And it pretty much just hangs in the middle.

Ok now for the back up facts…

Tristan was one of those baby boys that as born with an undecended testical, at the age of 3 he was started on hormone shots, a series of 7, one every other day that were deemed unsuccesful, which led to surgery to bring it to its proper place. That was successful, however the doc did tell us to keep an eye (or finger as the case may be) on it which was possible until he turned about 6 and wouldn’t let me. The only time in his life I can remember him being modest. The doctor did warn me that it might atrophy which it what they determined it did do eventually.

I will have to agree with Tristan’s comment about us having an odd relationship…but hey, it works for us, there isn’t anything I would not do for my kids or grandkids, and I hope that there isn’t anything that we can’t talk about if there is a need I know we have had some interesting talks over the years, and hopefully they will continue.

Since no one else has done it, there needs to be a link to this thread and this thread just for completeness’ sake. Apologies for killing the last one.

Oh, and Tristan: it’s actually called Bob.

The ball in the Guinness can, I mean. What did you think I was talking about? :wink:

See, background. I had no idea about the shots.

Huh.

Left or right?

Did you ever tell anyone you were half nuts?

Zombie Nads!!!

“Never mind; turns out it had fallen behind the couch cushions.”

So is there a big empty void in your sac now or did it just sorta fill itself in or what?

Le zombie.
