The Confessional Thread

I sometimes get tender testicles when they are quite sensitive, my left testicle is quite tender, and feels painful not on the ball itself but on the stuff below that, the sperm ducts and stuff. If you've got testicles you will know what I mean.

Can not feel any sort of solid lump on the testicle itself which is what I'm worried about. Do you lot ever get sensitive testicles every now and then?

Also while I'm on the subject, did anyone else have surgery to drop their balls? I have never asked my mates but I was 9 years old, what age are they meant to drop? Always thought that was odd.

Well, that all sounds fairly normal. Everyone gets sensitive now and then, sometimes from friction or compression, and yes it can sometimes cause just one to become sore/tender but not the other, or affect only the bottom or sides. Honestly, the best thing to do might just be to bring it up with your doctor the next time you go in for a check-up, but only you can make that call.

Anyway, I have a confession to make, even though I think I've already told it to a few people... I love Garage and Punk Rock, as well as Metal (especially Judas Priest, my favorite band), but the musician who actually inspired me to start learning to play the guitar was Joan Baez.
