I like the sports science show and in this episode they explore why some guys can take hard shots to the nuts without the same pain reaction or damage as other guys. Basically the conclusion is that guys can condition their balls to feel less pain and they actually do harden and toughen with repeated impacts. I think that explains how I was able to withstand such hard CBT and ball busting over the years...

That's interesting.... you need to damage it multiple times first.

Maybe this is why my hubby can tolerate what I do to his: I've been doing it for over 20 years. I may have to whack a little harder. 
Fortunately, though, his testosterone production hasn't suffered, at least measured in terms of his libido.

Re: Sports Science Looks At Why Some Guys Can Take A Kick To The Nuts
I have retractile testicles and I rarely ever wore any protection during any sports including baseball and football. My condition made it pointless as my testicles were naturally drawn up inside my body during any type of physical activity. This condition did present some embarrassing moments during shower time with the team afterwards as my scrotum would often be flat and empty and when they did present themselves in my sac mine were not as large as most of the other guys. I think one thing that made the others cut me some slack with the jokes was because I was always one of the fastest and more physical players on our teams. I can't remember ever being momentarily disabled from a blow ((no pun intended) to the groin like so many of my fellow players experienced and I did get hit pretty hard down there on several occasions.

This is also why I think self-defense classes that teach groin kicks should do a better job explaining that it may not affect some guys. In fact I think in all guys when adrenaline starts flowing the testicles automatically retract a bit. Most women assume that it is an automatic disabling blow, but as someone who's had a lot of girls kick me full force (not even retracted) I know it wouldn't stop me if I was dedicated to an assault.

Anyone thinking a kick to my groin is going to drop me to the floor might be in for a rude awakening.

I've only been kicked in the balls once and I'll never forget it. A school yard fight in the 4th grade. He hit a bulls eye and I dropped like a rock.
