Hi Guys, I often wondered why it is that when I'm sitting around naked in winter I still feel the cold more when I get dressed. I read recently that it is a function of the testicles to regulate body temperature. As guys we all know about shrinkage. It doesn't just mean you have cold balls. Our testicles are also telling the rest of our body to conserve body heat by restricting blood flow in our extremities and skin surface.
This also works in reverse. When our balls are low hanging and saggy our skin surface and extremities also get the message with blood flowing through unrestricted capillaries to achieve the maximum cooling affect.
So doesn't this mean that wearing hot sweaty restrictive underwear is really causing our bodies natural regulator to send confusing messages? We end up feeling the cold and pile on more clothes. Should we just hang our nuts out for a while? The answer to me is to live a life more natural than society forces us to do. Being naked does have its health benefits. I for one will be letting my balls swing free as much as I nakedly can!
Don't you agree?
Jay

Gerry-4May 14, 2010Do you have a link to that article? Something doesn't sound right.
I know testicles may self-regulate by drawing themselves closer to the rest of the body or further out, depending on the temperature. If testes are too hot, a man may have reproductive problems, which is why looser boxers are often recommended instead of tight briefs since briefs tend to keep the testes too close to the body, and therefore too warm.
But this is the first time I've heard of testes helping to regulate the REST of the body.ReactReply - LI
LifeHappensMay 14, 2010Gerry: You are correct. The testicles self-regulate, they do not regulate the rest of the body. The testicles must remain cooler than the rest of the body otherwise the male reproductive organs will be damaged. Many people don't realize this, but sperm is actually viewed by the rest of the body as an infection. Keeping them cooler and away from the rest of the body is paramount to remaining potent.

Our core temp is not controlled by genitalia.ReactReply - LILifeHappensMay 14, 2010
I believe it is the hypothalamus that performs all of the regulatory functions.

JackNeilsonMay 14, 2010I don't believe that testicles have anything to do with it but there is a phenomenon I frequently encounter where I do indeed feel cooler/colder when dressed compared to nude. Whether this is something physical or if it is just phychological I don't know but it is often very noticeable.

John EnglishMay 15, 2010winter time i keep my house around 70 degs and i feel warmer when i am nude then when i am dressed. my wife hates it when i can walk around nude and she is cold and has a robe on. i think the boudy puts out more heat when not clothed.

macnudeJun 18, 2010Try to avoid climbing over barbed wire fences while airing them out. Some of the health benefits may be lost.

Some men wear briefs all their lives and still have plenty of children. But for couples who have trouble conceiving, that could be the most inexpensive treatment available. It's worth trying before moving to the more expensive steps.ReactReply

nakedman54Jan 8, 2012I agree with Nudy Jay. I feel colder at home dressed than when I'm naked and I think the balls do help regulate body temperature. I have big low hanging balls that are always naked and hanging loose (I never wear underwear) so they are always in the open air. At home I never wear anything, not a robe, sllippers or a stitch of anything just barefoot and completely naked. Even in winter it's never an issue being naked. Just natural as a man that lives naked to feel the temperature (whatever it is) on your naked body. Naked Man

DesertRatJan 11, 2012Hey, let's give credit where credit is due. The testicles don't do anything but hang there and produce sperm. It's the scrotum that does all the shrinking and stretching. If the scrotum did not do its job properly, the testicles would not be able to do theirs.
Talk about reacting to the cold, maybe we should mention what nipples do.ReactReply - NA

Jay[/quote]I wish it worked like that for me. Most of the winter, I have to be covered up because it's just way too cold for me to be naked. I sometimes really think about moving back to the tropics.ReactReply - MEMemberJan 12, 2012[quote]Yes equal time for the nipples....I'm for that.[/quote]
My husband and I have a sure-fire way of knowing when it's too cold to be nude: When his penis and my nipples are the same size - it's too cold to be nude!
JenReactReply - MEMemberJan 17, 2012It´s the first time that I hear testicules are implied in regulate corporal temperature. I always knew that testicules must be hanging out from the body to avoid an excesive temperature that can damage the good quality of sperm... but now reading this I understand why I have the freeze feeling in the whole body when I only put my body to the hips in cool water... now I understand why not only my testicules shrink and go up to the bodyReactReply
