Who needs 'em?This thought was triggered by Murray, my BJJ instructor, when someone accidentally kneed or elbow him in the balls. His response was along the lines of "they're already used as much as they need to be". In that case, for him, they are just there as a hindrance more than a help right? How is it different for me? It's 2017, we have the techWell I don't have any kids, but one day I might want them. So why not just have a bit of the pearl jam frozen, then it's ready for when I want it. It's more reliable than the natural way of making a baby in terms of timing etc. Plus it would give me information on my fertility which might be important. Once my frozen little sperms are locked in a safe or whatever to prevent some evil genius from creating an army of lanky redheads, I could do away with the fleshy sacs and the potential for immense discomfort would be gone. I know there's always the external protection option, but that is only mildly effective anyway and it would be easier to just not have to worry about it. The T wordTestosterone. There's a super interesting This American Life podcast about it and the effect it has on our lives. Despite being a know-it-all, I'm not actually a medical doctor or medical researcher, so I don't actually know a whole lot about how balls and the manly goodness they produce would affect my life. I drink a lot of soy milk, which I think does oestrogen things to me anyway (apparently). Anyway, the point is that there's a potential downside here that I haven't thought of. So why not?I know there is the potential for complication with any medical procedure, but there are also things like ball cancer and general ball pain caused by low temperatures and stuff like that too, so I'm just trying to work out how the scales balance out on this one. Previously the whole reproduction thing made it a no brainer for me, but yeah, that isn't really a factor in 2017. I'd love to hear what people think.
