Question
I apologize if this question has been asked before but I haven't found it anywhere. I recently masturbated and during ejaculation I squeezed my scrotum and one of my testicles came up over my penis. 3 days later it happened again during intercourse when I ejaculated. Is this normal? Should this be a concern? It's never happened to me before. Thank you for your time
Answer
This is normal. The testicles hang on a cord. The cord contains, among other things, muscles. These muscles contract when you climax, and the testicles can be pulled very high up. You may also notice that the testicles pull up when you are very cold.
