> [@Chotii](#): > > Actually it’s very easy to put pressure on the cervix. Well, sure – if you’re going to stipulate that a woman is naked from the waist down and _penetration_ is taking place. The point is that, while putting pressure on the cervix may be as painful as doing the same to testicles (although I don’t think anyone can say for sure), it only happens in situations that are much rarer. For instance, I’ve been temporarily hobbled simply because I wasn’t “sitting well” in my jeans and some “clippage” occurred. Unless a woman is an anatomical oddity, I think it’s safe to say things like that don’t happen. ---

> [@Savannah](#): > > I find that when a man is relaxed, say in an after-sex doze, lying on his back, to watch the tiny, constant contraction and relaxation in the testicular skin is quite, well, fascinating. At least it was the first time. I had _no idea_ testicals were always in such subtle but constant motion like that… . . . Me neither. We guys are not generally aware of it ourselves. ---

> [@Rhinocerous](#): > > Women may seem to think that testicles are far more delicate than is true . . . but getting kicked in the crotch does elicit a pain/sickness like no other. I don’t know if there is a female equivalent. I’m going to clear this up now: ovaries are the counterpart of testicles. Ovaries do get squeezed sometimes during pelvic exams, and it’s not pleasant. But we women are smart enough to keep our gonads on the inside. 😉 Personally, I like getting my cervix bumped (not slammed) during sex. Size matters. Testicles are fun to watch up close, play with, and suck, but I don’t like them shaved either. Why do guys shave their pubes anyway? All that pheremone-goodness gone to waste. I don’t enjoy getting ball-flashed by some icky stranger going commando in shorts, sitting with his legs open wide. ---

> [@brightpenny](#): > > Testicles are fun to watch up close, play with, and suck, but I don’t like them shaved either. Why do guys shave their pubes anyway? All that pheremone-goodness gone to waste. I do not advocate shaving off ALL pubes either, but I don’t understand why you would prefer unshaved testicles to shaved testicles. In my mind, pubic hair on the testicles is ancillary to pubic hair in general due to differences in distribution. Pubic hair grows relatively thick and uniformly around the entire pubic region OTHER THAN on the testicles, where it’s typically much thinner. Testicles are not the most eye-pleasing gems in the first place, and I’ve always felt that long wisping pubic hairs thinly dispersed across the circumference do not flatter them whatsoever. I felt that a sleeker more stream-lined appearance would flatter my testicles as much as possible, and therefore shave them from time to time. So there’s still plenty of “pheromone-goodness” to go around, and some smooth aero-dynamic testicles for all to enjoy! ---

> [@Eonwe](#): > > The idea of shaving my testicles, as wrinkly as they are, is a scarry thought. It seems like there’s too much oportunity for disaster. I think you’re right. Try trimming, (on level 1 or 2, if you use level 0 it’s as same as shaving) , but gently. Trust me, they get more comfortable. Think of it as less packaging, hence more movement space. ---
