Do You Let Your Balls Swang?

[DirkZooDiggler]

I have skated in the the same few pairs of jeans since I started...but they have gotten kind of ragged lately, so the other day I decided I was just gonna get some new ones....and I did. The new ones I got are alot baggier than what I usually wear, but after skating in them a couple of times...I'm never going back to slim fit. The only negative I've noticed is that my balls flourish about quite a bit, which I'm pretty sure is not good....which brings me to my question, "For those of you who wear baggy pants when you skate..do you also wear briefs/boxer briefs?...or do you just let your junk wobble?" Let me know before I cause some damage!

[pop38]

I wear medium pants because I don't like the look of baggy pants, and so I have some room for Ernie and Bert.

[Miniflipkid]

i hide an 8 year old girl in my pants to hold my balls while i skate

she fits cus they're baggy

[rambo_4130]

I go full freebird commando , with baggy jeans

[bmmetcalf]

I prefer nude.

Go and set your testicles free now. Don't constrain your scrotum. They regulate the temperature for good sperm production and that is important for genitalmens. Sometimes you might notice that your balls are hanging like a pendulum on a grandfathers clock. They are overheating. Cool them down for goodness sake.

Human male anatomy


The testicles or testes (singular testicle), are the male generative glands in animals. Male mammals have two testicles, which are often contained within an extension of the abdomen called the scrotum.

In mammals, the testes are located outside of the body, as they are suspended by the spermatic cord and within the scrotum. This is due to the fact that spermatogenesis in mammals is more efficient at a temperature somewhat less than the core body temperature (37°C or 98.6°F for humans). The cremasteric muscle is part of the spermatic cord. When this muscle contracts, the cord is shortened and the testicle is moved closer up toward the body, which provides slightly more warmth to maintain optimal testicular temperature. When the temperature needs to be lowered, the cremasteric muscle relaxes and the testicle is lowered away from the warm body and are able to cool. This phenomenon is known as the cremasteric reflex. It also occurs in response to stress (the testicles rise up toward the body in an evolutionary effort to protect them in a fight) and they also retract during orgasm.

Animals other than mammals do not have externalized testicles. Birds, despite having very high core body temperatures have internal testes: it was once theorized that birds used their air sacs to cool the testes internally, but later studies revealed that birds' testes function at core body temperature.[1]

During puberty, the testicles grow in response to initiation of spermatogenisis. Size depends on lytic function, sperm production (amount of spermatogenisis present in testis), interstitial fluid, and Sertoli cell fluid production. After puberty, the volume of the testicles can be increased by over 500%.

It is most common for one testicle to hang lower than the other. The percentage of people with a lower hanging right testicle or left testicle is about equal. This is primarily due to differences in the vascular anatomical structure on the right and left sides.

Function

Like the ovaries (to which they are homologous), testicles are components of both the reproductive system (being gonads) and the endocrine system (being endocrine glands). The respective functions of the testicles are:

* producing sperm (spermatozoa)
* producing male sex hormones, of which testosterone is the best-known

Both functions of the testicle, sperm-forming and endocrine, are under control of gonadotropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary:

* luteinizing hormone (LH)
* follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

[edit]

Structure

Under a tough fibrous shell, the tunica albuginea, the testis contains very fine coiled tubes called the seminiferous tubules. The tubes are lined with a layer of cells that, from puberty into old-age, produce sperm cells. The sperm travel from the seminiferous tubules to the rete testis, the efferent ducts, and then to the epididymis where newly-created sperm cells mature (see spermatogenesis). The sperm move into the vas deferens (also called the ductus deferens), which opens into the urethra. Upon any sufficient sexual arousal, the sperm cells move through the ejaculatory duct and into the prostatic urethra, where the prostate, through muscular contractions, ejaculates the sperm, mixed with other fluids, out through the penis.

The genital anatomy described here, along with the neuroanatomy and hormonal systems that enable it to perform ejaculation, have as primary evolutionary functions the impregnation of a fertile female of the same species (or a sufficiently close one), via sexual intercourse with her.

Between the seminiferous tubules are special cells called interstitial cells (Leydig cells) where testosterone and other androgens are formed.

The Blood-Testis Barrier

Large molecules cannot pass from the blood into the lumen of a seminiferous tubule due to the presence of tight junctions between adjacent Sertoli cells. The spermatogonia are in the basal compartment (deep to the level of the tight junctions) and the more mature forms such as primary and secondary spermatocytes and spermatids are in the adluminal compartment. The function of the blood-testis barrier (red highlight in diagram above) may be to prevent an auto-immune reaction. Mature sperm (and their antigens) arise long after immune tolerance is established; therefore, a male animal is capable of making antibodies against his own sperm. Injection of sperm antigens causes inflammation of the testis (autoimmune orchitis) and reduced fertility. Thus, the blood-testis barrier may reduce the likelihood that sperm proteins will induce an immune response.
[edit]

Testicular size

Testicular size in relation to body weight varies widely. In the mammalian kingdom, there is a tendency for testicular size to be larger when the species is more likely to be polygamous than monogamous. Production of testicular output is also larger in the polygamous animal, possibly a spermatogenic competition for survival. In normal adult human males, testicular size ranges from the lower end of around 14 cm³ to the upper end larger than 35 cm³. Measurement in the living adult is done in two basic ways: (1) comparing the testicle with ellipsoids of known sizes (orchidometer), or (2) measuring the length, depth and width with a ruler, a pair of calipers or ultrasound imaging. The volume is then calculated, e.g., using the formula for ellipsoids: π/6 × length × width². Usually right and left testicles are about the same size.

To some extent, it is possible to change testicular size. Short of direct injury or subjecting them to adverse conditions, e.g., higher temperature than they are normally accustomed to, they can be shrunk by competing against their intrinsic hormonal function through the use of externally administered steroidal hormones. Similarly, stimulation of testicular functions via gonadotropic-like hormones may enlarge their size. Testicles may shrink or atrophy during hormone replacement therapy.

Health issues

The testicles are well-known to be very sensitive to impact and injury. The most important diseases of testicles are:

* inflammation of the testicles, called orchitis
* testicular cancer and other neoplasms
* accumulation of clear fluid around a testicle, called hydrocele testis
* inflammation of the epididymis, called epididymitis
* spermatic cord torsion also called testicular torsion
* varicocele [2] - swollen vein from the testes, usually affecting the left testicle
* Anorchidism is the absence of one or both testicles.

The removal of one or both testicles is termed

* orchidectomy, in medicine (where orchiectomy and orchectomy are synonymous), and
* castration in general use, especially when done as punishment or torture

At least for humans, testicular prostheses are available to mimic the appearance and feel of one or both testicles, when absent as from injury or as treatment for gender identity disorder. There have also been some instances of their implanting in dogs.

God Damn.....you know your balls.

[falloffboy101]

That was ... educational...

I wear normal fit, enough for you-know-who and still comfortable.

[sk83rb0y]

I wear normal-slim because I'm skinny. Sometimes I wear baggy.

[FIGHT!]

i hide an 8 year old girl in my pants to hold my balls while i skate

she fits cus they're baggy

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA That is hillarious!!!

[Dookie416]

to be the first one to answer the question, i wear boxers under my pants.

[GrizzledJASPER]

I was just sitting here wondering how some of you would've made it through life without the internet. You're asking other whether you should wear briefs because your junk wobbles in your jeans. WTF. I refuse to answer this bullshit. Wear what you want.

[Greatkyle]

rofl nic thread, i was suprised this was more than just a boxers or briefs thread, guys should start adding that info to there "my setups" in there sigs haha

[Snaker]

Uh, this is just, uh, wierd.
