What are testicles for? Ah, the family jewels. Testicles produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. Sperm grows at the back of the testicle, in the epididymis. The testicles hang in a sack, called the scrotum, that sits outside of the body because it is necessary for sperm to be stored at a temperature that is slightly below that of the body. Just as penis size varies from one man to the next, there is a wide range in testicle size as a proportion of the human body.

A layer of smooth muscle tissue known as dartos is positioned just under the scrotum’s skin.he opposite is also true, and when there is ample heat, these muscle become relaxed and are likely to visually hang lower, away from the body heat offered by the pelvic region. The scrotum is ultimately seeking temperatures that are about 3 ½ degrees below the body’s normal temperature.
