I once new a guy who would not feel any blow to his genitalia when he was
playing football (Australian Rules). In fact he wouldn't feel pain anywhere
in his body; handy ability!
Bulls and dogs (and many other animals) have retractable penises for that
very purpose. Men now have to rely on Jock straps! The testacles need to
remain away from the body during hot times lest the sperm die from
overheating. I guess when diving pressure and cold are big issues so being
sheltered inside a warm body is a good place for testacles.
