actually the function of the scrotum is temperature regulation, and the sperm cannot be created at body temperature.
the muscle relaxes or contracts to regulate the temperature

Oh..I know why they are there...but evolution should have figured out a long time ago that BALLS hurt and evolved us to have them inside somewhere....thats all I'm saying.

I have a wife....and PMS is the worst part of the month. Women become monsters and probably would devour their young if they weren't so worried about their weight as much as they are.
(this is just an opinion and is NOT meant as an attack on the women of this board. Though, to be honest, I will not let my wife read that post for obvious reason: marriage stability)

What about said ice burn to the balls? [You're doing it wrong! - everyone]I thought this was gonna be a proper ice burn. From liquid N2. That's a man's ice burn

No question, my balls are aching by just reading this thread. No joke. When I was 12, I was on a trip in South America when one of the family jewels became twisted. I had to wait until I flew back home 5 days later to see a doctor and I was then rushed into surgery. Talk about pain. Years later, I read that "torsion of the testicles" is in the top 5 most painful medical conditions and I can attest to that. Worst part was that it just happens, no injury or trauma needed, just walking around. D'oh!!

Evolution did figure out that balls hurt. The reasons balls hurt is so that you will protect them from getting injured.
I think the reason God made them as such is so he can point and laugh at football players during a free kick.
That's about the best description in here so far. As a sensation, it's almost like it isn't actual pain. That is, it doesn't feel like any other sort of pain. It's not like a hard pinch or cut to a sensitive area, where the pain is sharp and focused.
It's just a horrible feeling. It's like the worst nausea you've ever felt, but shift it lower, with no relief for it other than time. And then sometimes you get actual nausea as a twofer.
I really had no idea that nausea is even part of it. I thought it was just pain.
Man, I've learned a lot in this thread.
^ You know, back in med school I asked WHY it hurts so bad when you get kicked in the balls. I mean, intuitively, you could come up with some evolutionary reasons for there being a lot of pain but THAT much pain just seems like overkill.
The answer I got (and I never double-checked it and my memory of anatomy nowadays is really shite, so take this with a pinch of salt) was that the nerves that supply the testes run up the inguinal canal to the abdomen and that then triggers a widespread abdominal muscle contraction, causing you to double up. Ok, up to here any guy including me can testify from personal experience.
But it's that abs contraction that then compresses the stomach suddenly and it's the compression of the stomach that causes the really intense pain and nausea that comes a moment or two after the kick.

That makes sense, really. You never see anyone this side of the Terminator take a nutshot without doubling over.
The truly shitty thing is that it doesn't even take that much. Even an accidental touch with a bit of force can do it. Every guy here knows the awfulness of "the graze."
