Hi,

anybody here who has experience danaging the testicles by wearing them inside the body?

I haven't although there are several stories in the Archives about that. I do know that in reality it increases the chance of developing testicular cancer, although I am not certain what the percentage of increase is or the time the testicles must be inside the body before the increased risk kicks in.

Interesting topic though!

Hi,

since two years there are medical studies, which proov that the risc of cancer will not increase!

Unfortunately there are many studies concerning cryptorchidism (this is the medical term fpr testicles which are inside the body) in childhood, but there is no study about cryptorchidism in adults (

I have kept my balls push up in the groin 24 hours a day for almost every day for a year now and I have no problems. I love the look and feel of the empty sack swinging. Gives me a real good idea how I will look and feel when the balls are permanently removed.

For those that are interested, I have a link to a transsexual woman who has elected to keep her testies. She has undergone vagioplasty along with other surgeries. As far as I know, she doesn't take any type of homone replacement.

You will find her story here: http://www.annelawrence.com/meettess.html

You will also note that Tess Corwell has her testicles placed in such a manner that they may be externally palpitated and that she plans to undergo regular scanning so as to detect any cancers of the testes.

It is traditional that intersexed individuals with undescended testes have their testes removed after puberty because the quaility of synthetic hormone replacement therapy cannot match naturally produced hormones and to reduce the risk of testicular cancers.

Also note that Tess Corwell's bones are likely set by age (she appears at least 30-40) and that she has the financial resources as a dentist to undergo additional cosmetic surgery. She had not taken female hormones for three years prior. I must continue my research into the growth of the human skeleton as this is another factor which theorectically could affect the urgency of castration at my young age more than at Tess' age.

Also note that many transsexuals tuck their testes up into their body and then somehow tape them there.
