For a set of organs that I don’t need to live, why are there so many nerves in my testes?
They’re not for you, they’re for the species. Pain keeps you from damaging them too much.
From an evolutionary perspective the rest of you is merely a support system to help the testes do their job.
Then why doesn’t my penis hurt when it gets hit?
If you whap it hard with a hammer, slice it with a razor, or drive a spike through it, you’ll feel significant pain.
Penises are just the delivery mechanism; they don’t need to function perfectly or even well. As long as they can get semen out and in the ballpark, so to speak, it’s all good.Testes, on the other hand, produce the species’ genetic future. Damage to these can cause fatal mutations or sterility.
It doesn’t? Anywhere on it?? :eek:
They also give the fairer gender a good, vulnerable target should we need to protect ourselves from some testosterone overloaded asshole!
Because whoever’s hitting it is sissy? 
Seriously, in what circumstances does your penis get hit and you don’t feel pain? Mine hurts like a mammjamma whenever it gets hit.
Evolution probably didn’t bother because your penis gets a little different use than you balls, and if you ever got hit in the balls you’d quickly learn to protect that whole area anyway.
Who’s cock-punching you, and why haven’t you learned to protect that spot?
Testes, testes, 1, 2, 1, 2,…
Those nerves aren’t just about pain. They’re for pleasure too. And that is the other reason there’s so many of them there. Nature gives you an incentive to use them as well an incentive to protect them.
It vaguely disturbs me to think that you have treated people who have experienced all these things :eek:
Given the evolutionarily vital role of the ol’ nugs, how long will it take for the human species to evolve a sort of built-in cup, like a skull for your balls? Does any other species have this? Or maybe the quicker path will be for the testes to move back into the abdomen where they’ll be protected like all the other vital organs. I know they hang outside the body for temperature control, but it’s an awful tradeoff. Maybe in a million years or so they can stay snug up against the kidneys but with their processes altered such that they can still produce sperm at the higher temperature.
Given where he works, doesn’t surprise me at all. Not one bit.
But still – :eek:!
Many of my patients blame their penises for the trouble they’re in, and seek revenge.
Seriously.
Yes. Guys who fail to protect their testes get weeded out of the gene pool. This is why you can earn a Darwin Award by rendering yourself dead or sterile.
I’ve known many guys who are into genital abuse (especially testes-related), and believe me, there’s a thin line separating pain from pleasure . . . and for some, there’s no line at all.
If they’re dumb enough to believe it’s the organ’s fault, perhaps it isn’t such a bad thing after all… y’know, Darwin and all that…
S^G
Everyone always quotes Darwin, but most of these guys have managed to reproduce already.
Our bar is set pretty low in today’s society as far as being a freelance sperm donor goes…
