Mr.T.,

I've trained all of "my" five boys to do genital self exams and the signs and dangers of testicle cancer. Of the lot of them, now that one is 19, he understands living longer vs. being "neutered".

The other 3, they'd rather die. So they say now. Ages 14-15-16.

The 9 yo., well, he's too young for that yet but he is advised to let someone know if anything hurts or goes wrong down there.

Funny you should mention that. I need cataracts removed, and I keep putting it off. Given a choice, I'd sacrifice my testicles before my eye balls!

Still looking for someone local to castrate me. I'm terrified of travelling to a strange city for surgery.

Try and make a Dr. understand that.

Perhaps you have Testicular Arthritis?
