Yes, really.  Free-swinging testicles are particularly good at detecting ocean swells, and were relied on by Polynesian navigators.  Just ran across this interesting fact in the book Civilizations by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, and confirmed it online here: http://www.passengerplanet.com/softwarm.html.

One of the more obscure advantages of going naked, for sure.  And a lesson in how much we lose by training ourselves to cover and, mostly, disregard, most of the body.

    Maybe if some of these captains at sea used theirs, they wouldn't get lost so often ;-)

    There may be something to this.  I remember Roseanne Barr wondering inf the uterus was an organ for finding lost objects.  As I recall she was commenting on her husband frequently asking "honey, where did I leave my car keys?"
