# Understanding Testicular Myths: What Men Wish Women Knew
Written on
Chapter 1: The Current State of Masculinity
It seems masculinity is facing a crisis, or so claims Tucker Carlson in a recent Fox series entitled "The End of Men." He asserts that declining testosterone levels among men could lead to dire consequences for society—specifically for white men. His unconventional remedy? Tanning their testicles with infrared light, a practice he refers to as "testicle tanning."
Now, let’s unpack this idea. Carlson suggests that unless white men darken their skin, they risk being replaced by men of other ethnicities. It’s a bizarre premise that might just make for an absurd children's book.
Nevertheless, the manufacturers of testicle tanning devices promote the notion that exposing the testes to certain light frequencies can enhance testosterone levels. So, can you really gain the same hormonal boost from shining a red light on your chest as you would on your testicles? If given a choice, I'd choose the torso.
But let me be clear: do not attempt to roast your testicles. Such heat is detrimental to sperm health, as elevated temperatures can reduce sperm viability. For optimal sperm production, the testes need cooler conditions—around 34 degrees Celsius is ideal.
Interestingly, while red light therapy has been shown to improve skin elasticity, I doubt Carlson practices what he preaches. If he did, we might want to see him in action to believe it.
At any rate, let’s delve into some popular myths surrounding testicles.
The first video, What You Need To Know About Blue Balls and Blue Vulva, discusses the complexities of male and female sexual health, debunking misunderstandings that often arise.
Chapter 2: Debunking Common Myths About Testicles
Section 2.1: Myth #1 - Testicles Are Intimidating
Many women express apprehension about approaching a man's testicles, and understandably so. They are delicate organs that can easily be harmed. It's worth noting that while pulling on the testes can delay ejaculation—a technique known as the "scrotal tug"—it requires care and consent.
Section 2.2: Myth #2 - All Men Enjoy Testicular Stimulation
Contrary to what is often portrayed in adult films, not all men appreciate testicular stimulation. For some, it can be uncomfortable or overly sensitive. Thus, communication is key: simply ask him about his preferences.

Section 2.3: Myth #3 - Testicular Stimulation Is Solely for Pleasure
Engaging with the testicles can improve circulation and increase sperm count. Regular attention might even promote a healthy sex drive—perhaps it’s time for this to trend on social media!
Section 2.4: Myth #4 - Testicles Remain Unchanged During Sexual Activity
During arousal, the testes can expand significantly. Interestingly, a man's testicles will retract toward the body right before ejaculation, a signal tied to both temperature regulation and protection.
Section 2.5: Myth #5 - Testicles Are Identical
Much like women's anatomy, men’s testicles are not identical. Variations in size and position are normal, and typically, the left testicle hangs lower than the right.
Section 2.6: Myth #6 - Nut Kicks and Vulva Hits Are Equally Painful
The pain from a kick to the testicles is often more intense than one to the vulva due to a lack of protective structures and a high concentration of nerve endings in the scrotum.
Section 2.7: Myth #7 - Scientists Understand Why Testicles Hang Outside the Body
There are several theories, but a prevalent one suggests that the external position of the testicles helps keep sperm at a cooler temperature—about five degrees lower than body temperature.
Section 2.8: Myth #8 - Testicle Size Is Irrelevant
When it comes to fertility, size can matter. Smaller testicles may indicate lower testosterone levels and reduced sperm production, although good reproductive health is more about the overall system than just size.
The second video, I Busted 500 Myths In GTA 5!, humorously addresses misconceptions, which can be a fun parallel to the myths we’ve explored here.
Bonus Fact: The First Dinosaur Was Named After Testicles
In a quirky twist of history, the first dinosaur to be named was dubbed "Scrotum humanum," highlighting an amusing intersection of science and anatomy.
In conclusion, while testicles may not be the center of all discussions on masculinity, they certainly deserve attention and understanding. Let's embrace the truth about these often-misunderstood organs.
