Tucking as a means to reduce testosterone

[de_fens_us (imported)]

I know most information claims that tucking only casues a reduced sperm count and/or production of active sperm but when I tuck my nuts up into my body and hold them in place there for 3 or 4 days in a row I do feel the effects of reduced testosterone. I like the look of my scrotum looking so tiny hanging empty and I absolutely love the constantly warm body heat feeling in my nuts. I must be much different than most but I do feel hot flashes and experience night sweats and when finally released back into my scrotum my nuts are slightly smaller and much softer and mushier than when they were tucked. They quickly rebound in size and firmness in a day or so and I'm back to feeling normal again. I have retractile testicles which makes it very easy for me to tuck and I use a small cock ring placed at the base of my empty scrotum to hold my nuts suspended in place inside my canals. I am 52 years old and I tuck for sometimes 7 days at a time maybe twice a month. My T range when tested has been in the low 200s.

Anyone else have similar experiences tucking?

It might be the reverse. Its easy to tuck because your testicles are atrophied from whatever reason. And your testosterone is low not because you tuck but because your testicles are atrophied.

A couple concerns. Keeping the testicles at body temp does more then reduce your sperm count (and maybe degrade your testosterone levels) its been reported that undecended testicles increase your risk for testicular cancer. Which I think you would agree is not a good thing.

You might want to give HRT a try and see how you feel at normal levels. It might be a positive change you would enjoy.

Well you make good points about the cancer risk and the atrophy thought. My nuts never have been very large as compared to many men. I always thought it was because of the added body heat my retractile testicles have endured my whole life. Maybe they just never fully developed in size or in testosterone production because of that although I fathered 2 children quite easily. My testicles comfortably rest in my scrotum most of the time but are very easily drawn up and into my body when sitting or doing strenous activities. The warmth they feel when drawn inside has always been pleasurable so that is why I sometimes force the issue. When having sex I often slip them thru a cock ring to hold and secure them down into my scrotum because they otherwize would be drawn well up into my body during sexual excitement and orgasm. I kind of like the empty scrotum look myself but my wife doesn't.

Tucking only will reduce your

sperm count and/or production of active sperm

only. Persons with testicular feminization syndrome, get all their estrogen from the conversion of testosterone to estrogen and most do not have descended testicles. The testicles are removed because of risk for testicular cancer.

"

" There most likely will be a medical reason for this. As you have said you have had small testicles your whole life you could you be a case of undiagnosed Klinefelter syndrome or something else?

be careful. the testicles are not naturally designed to be kept at body temperature (it's why they dangle below the abdomen)...a few days probably doesn't do any harm tho...

yes, i made a similar point. in fact, if doctors think there is a chance that there is any residual testicular tissue in someone's lower abdomen (where it doesn't belong), they'll perform exploratory surgery to be sure it isn't there...if they find it they remove it...this is usually done at a relatively young age because the risk is so high...

if undiscovered or left in place, the tissue can become carcinogenic asymptomatically (i.e., when you finally have symptoms, it's way too late and "school's out," as one doctor put it to me bluntly to be sure he had my full attention)...people really shouldn't be playing around with this...

I never could stand the feeling of testicle tucking. :/ It just felt awkward and uncomfy.

Perhaps I should rethink doing this strictly for pleasure. HRT has been discussed in the past with me by my doctor but I've yet to act on it but I'm leaning that way more and more as I get older. I do use Viagra from time to time as a boost so maybe the HRT would eliminate that need as well and making me feel better overall.

My understanding is that Viagra affects blood flow and "plumbing" issues. Improvements in that area probably make you feel better but they don't have anything to do with the level of testosterone in your system.

As for what would make you "feel better overall," that is a function of your own physical and psychological makeup. A lot of people out here report that they feel better with very low or no levels of testosterone; others, myself included, feel better when they are in the normal range. Everyone is different.

I understand a low testosterone level all too well. My natural count for years was in the range of 100-200. Over time as the testicles continued to atrphy, it dipped down into the 50's. HRT is a must

As to the feeling that your Testosterone level is dropping after a few days of tucking, that is strictly in your head. Sperm production is affected by temperature, but not hormone production. With your alrady low level, you should be feeling many of the effects of castration. Hot flashes, and all the other joyius things you must endure without enough testosterone.

You should try using HRT for a while, the difference it can make in your overall well being is amazing. Also check those things out , you may have other issues at work that shou;d be addressed.
