As a female, Honestly, I wouldn't care about a guy having one testicle. What i care about more is what he looks like and if he can make me cum like crazy.
Tips for you Guys:
1. Go down on her and make her quake and she won't leave
2. Make her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. Tell her how much SHE makes you hard!
3. SEX is not everything!!! It helps but develop your relationship. Women love to be wooed. Make her feel special.
4. Develop Confidence or self love. Would you buy a product that doesn't that markets its bad rather than good qualities.
5. If you are afraid of embarassment, feel the woman out. Is she self centered and narcissitic. If she is, move on.

I am Thankful to Allah
hi ,I am 20 years old, I hope i read this comment in the future after i have children...
I had my left testicle removed this week due to torsion and i didnt make it on time ... or i actually did (2 hours) but due to delay and useless nurses and doctors and US specialist doing favors .. i lost it.. but the fact is it was my fault as i shouldve been more decisive about it as i switched hospitals ... but again it was meant to be and now i have a right one that was fixed and i am living my recovery days.though i ejaculated the next day after surgery (which so so assuring xD)My biggest concern is that i wont be fertile any more but again I am thankful to Allah I still have one and hopefully it wont affect my life because there are people with 2 and people with none and people with cancer. So ill just be patient and ask Allah to make this experience a begining of a better life for me.
To all people anxious about this ... I am a Muslim and having faith is the best way out as you start to realize how life is comming to an end and this world is just a test for us. And believe me Allah will never fail you.

I am 40 and lost one when I was 19 (I was still virgin) but since then, I really never had problem. I am now married and have 2 cute boys. My wife knows it but it does not bother her. I even never think about it. Really no problem.

my boy's one testicle
hi... i have a question about guys/boys with one testicle and how development plays (specially in puberty to adulthood) having only one testicle. i have a son who's 4 years old, hes completelly healthy, very active and quite strong and a bit thicker but not fat for his age (in comparison with kids his age), he had a torsion a day after he was born and had the dead testicle removed at 6 months of age... my question is (and excuse me if i sound all over the place.. i hope i can make myself clear); will his development be normal during puberty into adulthood? will his levels be as normal as the rest of kids his age? penis development? will he fertil? ...considering he only has one testicle. ... now heres a bit of a background of why i have lots of concern and worries... i am a bodybuilder and we all know how testosterone plays an important factor in this..bare with me for just a second... he says he wants to lift once olderand dont want him thinking he's week or not as manly as the rest of his peers, also i know testosterone plays a role in penis development, bone density along with all the other male features, infact studies have shown how it even plays a role in a social status. im currently doing homone repalcement therapy for myself because my levels starting going lower than what my body was used to and after this i feel like im 20 again and you walk with confidence feeling great all the time... my concern is that because of his issue he might not feel this way wich would affect his social status along with how he develops as a man (physically), we all want our kids to be winners and feel great!! ive read how doctors say that they develop fine and so on and so on... but the reality is that most of the people with one testicle end up doing homonal theraphy and in my experience.. and excuse me if i offend anyone.. but doctors dont really know and seems that users know more because they educate themselves in it on their own and because they have 1st person experience on it.... and doctors consider low testosterone when you have less than 200... and 200 isnt anything anyway... naturally i was around the 500.. and the doctor still put me on hormone theraphy.. his explanation was.. "if your body is used to certain ammount and you dont have it then you will feel different"... so.. what im thinking is; well what if my son is not lower than 200 he wont be consider abnormal but hes not producing as much as he should and that shortens his development.. when the rest of his body receptors and all can take more and he misses on growth and development as a man!... after doing some reserch boys around 11-13 have about 619 the highest on test. levels and then 13-17 around the 900 and so on.... later i got the idea in my head that if that is the case to where hes only producing about half of what he should if hormonal theraphy can be an option... but it just seems a bit of a taboo at such young age (11 considering that puberty starts around that age).. and then to regulate him to the others he would have to pretty much be on hormonal theraphy the rest of his life... im not really too worried if hes able to be a bodybuilding star!!.. not at all... my main concern is will he feel confident with his development will he be happy with his body and manly attributes... ? some guys with low testosterone levels sometimes look more fragile, thinner, and from what i hear they wish their attributes were more rough as most guys.. imnot trying to offend anyone at all... this is a real concern i have because its my son. thank you in advance and i hope someone can give me some advice or better yet if anyone has lived this issue (having one testicle since being a toddler or a kid).. it would be great and id love to hear from them.

First of, I'm glad to know that your boy got such an amazing father to take care of him.

Now let the focus establish on what works great and skip worrying about what seems gone but is not.

Your boy is born without any problem and that's a must. Thanks god he is not born with any testosterone deficiency or even without any testicle! What is left will take over (usually testicle will enlarge, sometimes as big as two testicles, furnish as two, keeping the normal testosterone level just like he had two) especially since he is at a young age, it gives his body way enough time to balance everything and aknowledge the remaining testicle to work at necessary potential.

He has all success within him towards all manly activities and beyond average.

You can always check his testosterone level, especially at the common peaks to make sure everything is normal. In the worst case, hormonal therapy is a piece of cake these days and won't bother someone who needs it.

It will be a ment to be experience for your child that will get him a beyond strong and solid self-confidence, he is capable of everything.

After getting over it, only adventages are to embrace ( from esthetic to performance).

It is true that some people will have a rough time going trough this, experiencing fear, depression and stress towards their situation but it will always be about perception.

Just remember that he is normal and beyond.

Other things influence our testosterone levels such as moods, nutrition, social relationships, exercise, stress, valued experiences, age, etc... It's really not all about testicle(s) here.

always, wait to worry

If you want to know about my experience, my personal pros and cons, you can always private message me!

Cheers

having been born with only one, I'd be VERY open about it with him and let him know as he gets older that a prothetic testicle is an option and let him know that he can get one as soon as he feels like it. It is very hard growing up with one. Face it, at the end of the day, we don't want to be "different". I thi nk aboput having only one EVERY day. Save his self esteem and self consciousness and make it aware that it can be corrected.

where did it go?
Hey all, I am writing on behalf of a co-worker of mine. My co-worker, will call him (friend) for the remainder of this, is 55 yrs old and grew up in rural TX during the civil rights era. He had no access to good health care at the time and no money. When he was 9 he fell on his bike and hurt one of his testicles. He went to a doctor but, the doctor said he was fine and with no money could not go any further anyway. Friend says, "the doc just grabbed my nuts and made me cough,that was it". So, he never had any surgery and has been without one testicle since. No one has ever told him where his testicle disappeared to and I have no idea how this could happen. He is diabetic and has ED for many years now, so my friend and I want to know where did his testicle go? He has never asked anyone where it went and has just gone through life excepting that it has just disappeared.
Thank you all for taking time to read this.

Hi I am 21 and I lost my left testicle when I was 19 due to testicular torsion. I have been having pains there before I had it removed but I didn’t think anything of it at the time because the pain only lasted momentarily. One night I hopped in the shower and the water was cold which provoked another twisting pain. This time the pain wouldn’t go away, it hurt so bad that I was vomiting. The pain started to die down a tiny bit after a few hours but it still felt kind of achy. Instead of going to the hospital when I should have, I went to take a test the next day thinking the pain was going to go away eventually. It wasn’t until the day after I went to see a doctor and that night I had an ultrasound test and went into surgery. The left testicle had enlarged and the right one was getting really soft. The doctors had to remove the left one because it had ruptured. I want to have kids some day and I was extremely nervous about this being a major problem. They stitched the right one back so it wouldn’t twist. They told me that the one testicle was going to take over fill the job of both testicles and produce plenty enough testosterone. For some reason it hasn’t bothered me back then as it is now. I have been having such a massive depression over this because I would still have two there if I told somebody in the first place. I wish I had reacted sooner.

same here bro!
I endured the sharp pain and nausea for 4 solid days before we went to go check it out...

Don't be so down, majority of guys here had been through that kind of regret and mental depression...
not to mention fear of embarrassment about the topic over society...

if you've read most of the posts here, you'd probably feel more at ease and lessen your depression.
just take it easy.

probably a post torsion effect?
I have a question...
you see, I lost my left testicle(torsion) back when I was 15y.o...

now I'm 18, and had a swelling... twice, ever since... in the place where it was removed... it was hard and pretty painful... swelled about almost an inch in height,width and depth... and resided just before a week...

the first time, when I got it checked and ultrasound...
they just said it was a swelling... and didn't recommend anything...

the 2nd time, i just didn't mind it...

I love playing sports but not very frequently...
and I didn't play for some time b4 it has swollen...

anyone here have experienced the same case?
or, give me an idea over this??

I'm a 26 year old guy born without a left testicle. It hasn't affected my sex drive in the slightest though I do get self conscious about it now and then.

I had some nasty experiences of bullying and harassment during my teens which left me guarded and quite shut down. Girlfriends have never seemed to mind but I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect my confidence. I'm delighted to find a forum for about with which to share and talk about it.
Physically I'd be slight but very fit, having a fast metabolic rate and one bean doesn't seem to do much for body mass or muscle tone. I'm interested in the earlier posts about hormone treatment, it anybody know's what ages it is suitable for then I'd like to know.

Hi there, I'm 33 yr old, still single Sad
I was born with only one (the right). It did not affect me until some family members started teasing me about at 8-9 yrs age, the main effect when I entered my teen years, it really affected much, that I got into severe depression, all these years, I did not get any support from my parents, the opposite happened, there actions implied that I'm not a man a comparing be to my brothers and other people at my age, I grew extremely shy in front of girls and women, until now, I can't confidently speak to a girl or women, I have (0) confidence.
