Scrotality


Sometimes words fall into my lap, as it were. I was just reading this article on why testicles are on the outside, and came across the line:

How can a trait such as scrotality (to use the scientific term for possessing a scrotum), with all the obvious handicaps it confers, fit into this framework?

I'm never using either masculinity or manhood again.

I don't think I shall add a picture to this post. It'd be nuts.

    Careful what you say Mark. To call someone a "scrote" is not meant as a compliment to their masculinity.

    Despite the obvious disadvantages it's all to do with temperature apparently! (But then pants and trousers came along, I expect nature will address this problem in time)

    Something to be discussed with fashion leader Eldridge Cleaver - from his past designs for trousers

    I hope you are considering writing a cod piece.
