I read in an old vietnam book or something that while under fire a guy got so scared that his nuts retracted back to the area they were in before he hit puberty. I believe he had to get surgery to pull them back down. When I start getting really scared (man with a gun, shots fired, barricaded suspect) i just keep telling myself to expect the unexpected.... the ball retraction is the first thing that comes to my head.....and then its getting shot

Sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't...

I had testicular cancer while I was still in the Reserves, and had my right nut removed. The Navy never had a problem with it and neither did I. I can actually cross my legs when I am sitting down now. No return of the cancer after 15 years.

Back on workups in the dark days when I flew helos and dinosaurs roamed the earth (ok, 2004) we got woken up in the middle of the night for an urgent MEDEVAC for a ships company Petty Officer.

Testicular Torsion, I have never seen a man in so much pain in my life for an extended period of time. Usually people in that much pain have something serious enough that they either die or at least pass out before too long.

...one of his testicles 'unravel'. I forgot the exact term for it, and I mihgt be describing it wrong...

You may or may not have described that particular situation wrong Sir, but you definately described something that I just cringed to...

Try a kidney stone. If there's anything in life more painful than renal colic, it's banned by the Geneva Conventions. :eek:

I like how this thread turned into talking about having one nut which is completely different than the OP's question.

But hey, I'll bite. At least look on the bright side: by losing one ball and having a smaller sack, your dick will look bigger, right? :)
