Q: Can the Testicals move ( contract and expand )?
asked by: DoctorQuestion on June 30th, 2007
My testicals dont breath now. In early of my age they use to breath heavily (mean expanding and contracting ). But from last few year , i see no motion in them. I think this is cause of my less desire in sex. I have no erection in my penis itself. if i use my hand to masturbate only then it erects. but it ejaculates a good semen. Please guide me about no motion in my testicals .How can they be made breathy.

The testicles can be moved passively but not actively. Active movements are possible only via reflex contraction of the cremaster muscle located in the funiculus spermaticus. Contraction of musculus cremastericus elevates the testicles and brings them closely to the body. Contraction of that muscle is provoked by cold weather/environment or by skin scratching on the inner side of the leg (s.c. cremastern reflex). You can consult a urologist about a possible erection problem and seek advice.
