who places a laptop that close to their junk anyway? Whenever it's on my lap, it's practically hanging off of my knee.

There's also a study that says that men who masturbate daily have a lower incidence of prostate cancer.

Your bit's are slightly warmer than the rest of you though no?
I was told this in gym class one winter to explain why the rest of the lads had their hands down their shorts. : )

Gotta be aware of the temp's ; )

Anywhere there are a lot of, or large, vessels that aren't exposed often to the air will be warmer. Your knee and arm pits for example as well.

I believe your scrotum sack has to be a few degree's warmer than the rest of you though, to keep your tadpole's in shape, I may be wrong, that was explained in a school yard 27 years ago ; )

Meh. I've caught my limit of kidlets. It matters not to me if the tadpoles don't swim as well as they used to.

Sounds plausible! My bandmate's urologist encouraged him to monkeyspank regularly following his vasectomy; told him it would lessen the chance of prostate cancer.

The balls are actually cooler than the rest of the body. The nuts act like a refrigerator for the sperm. That is why the testes do not like the warmer temperatures. Keep your chicken nuggets safe.
