Balls. Nuts. Nads. Bollocks. Stones. Cojones. Whatever you wanna call them, this week we’re talking about testicles.

Though they’re often treated as an afterthought in comparison to the pleasure primacy of the penis, I think they deserve a bit more credit. Giving some love to a partner’s balls can be excellent foreplay or the X-factor that takes a blow job from mediocre to mind-blowing. And while they may seem humble from the outside, physiologically the testicles are quite complex, quietly carrying out a number of processes that impact sexual function — not to mention the survival of humans as a species.
