The SCROTUM reader – for both fans and serious scholars…

[Dixon Carter Lee]

The function of the scrotum appears to be to keep the testes at a temperature slightly lower than that of the rest of the body. For human beings, the temperature should be one or two degrees Celsius below body temperature (37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit); higher temperatures may be damaging to sperm count. The temperature is controlled by the scrotum moving the testicles closer to the abdomen when the ambient temperature is cold, and further away when it is hot. Moving the testes away from the abdomen and increasing the exposed surface area allow a faster dispersion of excess heat. This is done by means of contraction and relaxation of the cremaster muscle in the abdomen and the dartos fascia (muscular tissue under the skin) in the scrotum.

A rise of three degrees Celsius in scrotal temperature will double the mutation rate in spermatogenesis, resulting not only in damaged and non-motile serm, but significant mutations in the DNA helixes.
Given the thermoregulatory role of the scrotum, you may wonder about the effects of racing from a sauna into a frozen lake. It is comparable to a swift kick in the balls. If you have a partner with a scrotum, you may wish to take advantage of this quality by bringing a hair dryer and an ice cube to bed.

Wasn't Scrotum one of the original Our Gang Kids?

Wasn't Scrotum one of the original Our Gang Kids?

Yes, his parents had been military scholars, and wished to protect him with a name reminiscent of the Roman Legionnaire's shield. Alas, it only gave his shelter from sticks and stones; it was the words that finally got to him.

He has a wife, you know...

Didn't he wed Ms. Labia Minora back in the day?

It was a beautiful ceremony. Cli Toris was the flower girl. Fores Kin served as the ring bearer.
