only having one testicle

I have only one testicle,when i was a baby something happened to me and i lost the left one,not big deal,im 24 now and the right one is bigger then a normal one,what can i say i could make love 2-3 times daily i am also practicing bodybuilding...u should see what nice body i have after 5 years of practicing this sport,so girl u are totaly silly with this attitude...

I was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer @ 22 and subsequently had my left testical removed. I feel it is nothing to be ashamed or worried about. I have had no problems sharing this with anyone that asks. My mates now mockingly call me Biro, like the ball point pen. I feel by sharing my experiences it can not only raise awareness of this cancer but also increase acceptance of people that are different. I enjoy a normal sex life and am as happy as ever. All those men out there that may be afraid of what people think, who cares. You will find most people are very understanding and those that arn't are people not worth associating with.

i read through all the posts and yea im a one baller myself. born this way,
and like you all my teenage years were hell trying to keep it a secret, i was never really able to enjoy a relationship until my early twenties when had grown up a bit and met "nicer" and more mature women. i dont mean older than me but finding the right girl makes all the difference. now im 24 and been going out with a girl for the last two years, something i never thought myself capable of and iv never been happier. i would go out with girls when i was younger, and there was no shortage of them, but i wouldnt let things get sexual because frankly i wasnt mature enough to deal with explaining about it and having to face it, also the risk of them telling their friends and then them telling their friends was too much. thats the way i was, and i dont think anyone can say thats abnormal,

we tend to self obsess, and it only worries other people as much as you let it worry yourself. i dont let many people know because i dont want the entire world knowing, as face it, people like to gossip. it has worryed me that maybe i wouldnt have children but finding out that it wouldnt affect that was a big weight of my shoulders. i went to a specialist when i was 18 about getting an implant but when was told of the risks involved thought perhaps it wasnt too good an idea, and never got it done. very glad i didnt, i am me, this is how i was meant to be and im as happy as larry with that.

in regards to the first post, i dont even know what to say but that person must have an IQ of 5 and is probably the outcome of watching too much sex in the city...

I was born with only the left one. I think about it every day of my life. I am 51 now but was laughed at in my teens. I built a wall around myself back then . I built it strong cuz its still there. I met my wife when I was 30. I had to take a chance. It was great. She did not & still does not care....I have a daughter too

im a teen, and ive been dating a girl for a while now, we are getting very close lately and starting to take it up a notch. I only have one testicle, and I don't want to freak her out by it, and it's both of our first time (not having sex). i do however feel more confident about it reading the first page of notes, but i was just checking to see if everything would be alright, im probably more nervous about first time activity then her cause of it.

I'm 43 married with 2 kids. No problem at all with one testicle. My son was born normal with 2.

wow did'nt realise this was as common as i thought. I got only one too, born that way, just wanted to share my experience with some younger guys who might be in the same boat as I was, to tell ya the truth I got *active* alot of times with girls, who never even noticed, which I could'nt believe, or I guess it's possible they just never said nothin, but being in highschool i can't believe they wouldnt gossip it to any of there girlfriends. the first time a girl did notice, I just said when I was a kid it got kicked up into my lower stomach area, and just never got it taken care of, she never said nothin and dont think she ever mentioned it to any friends, if she did no one ever busted out any smart remarks to me. just be cool about it, it's really not a big deal.

but i use to be very upset about this, and scared to death that i'd get made fun of, I had a friend who had one also, but he was open about it, and damn all the time people would make a joke about it, he never gave a damn though, and he never had a problem with the ladies, infact everyone in the whole school knew him by *one nut*, i know thats horrible, but he dated the best girls at the school, not even lieing about that, he was prom king, dated all the hott girls. guess the point to that is yeah, people are gonna find it enertaining to poke some fun at ya, but all in all they really dont look at you like a freak or nothin.

But for me I was just too insecure, I wish I coulda been like him but at that time in my life, if someone cracked a joke at me, i wouldn't beable to control myself from beating the dog c**p outta them. but for the guys like me, who dont have it in them to be that open, dont feel bad either, because really i look back now, being 21, I kinda look at it as a blessing, because time's i got active back then, I made sure it was a girl who was, good natured, or someone I was in a relationship with and knew actually liked me, and all in all decent girls. I stayed away from the, let's say, easier to get girls, knowing that they might be a b*tch about it, and wow im sure glad I did. but like I said also, really most the time no ones ever even noticed.

I am a 18 almost 19 year old teen, as most of you i only have one testicle. i am EXTREMLY self concious of it to. i have yet to even go out with a girl, and trust me i do, very badly. i just recently got my first kiss and i enjoyed it, but in the back my head i had fear of what if this leads to more and she finds out, i couldnt deal with it.

All through high school i was extremly secretive about it. i didnt tell a soul about it. the only people that even knew were my parents and the doctor that removed it when i was born. so like some of you ive wasted my entire youth not getting one sexuall experience.

Anyways, thats not what im posting this for. im posting because im worried that maybe my body isnt producing enough testosterone. After i hit puberty at about 12 or 13 years old i was excited, finally becoming a man, at last. but as i continued to age, i realized that my body might have been getting taller and more tone and getting hair in all those places, but my voice and face were not maturing. for some reason i still have a fairly high voice and my face still looks like a 14 year olds. my voice isnt all that big of a deal but my face is. i get carded for everything and girls and people often ask me if im 14 or 15 years old. is my face not maturing because of my testicle missing or is it just a natural thing? i dunno if im over reacting or not but this is effecting my entire life, i almost couldnt even join up in the military because of it. if anybody has an answer id really appreciate it.

Hello Chris89,

I am a 17 year old male. I had one of my testicles removed at birth due to complications. The funny thing is my Dad didn't tell me until I was 15, and I never thought i was any different than anyone else. My younger brother and elder sister don't know either. My parents just briefly mentioned it and that was it! So I guess somehow I felt cheated by the people who made me ;).

To start off, I am also extremely self conscious to the point where I used to worry about how I talk to some people. I have had girls ask me out when I was around 15, but after a single date with this one girl, the first who asked me out, I declined because of my lack of confidence, and have regretted that decision my entire life. Most of my friends around me always talk about their women and having sex. I was left feeling ashamed that I had not even kissed, let alone had sex with a girl to this day,
even though I've had people tell me I'm pretty good looking. It has affected my decisions to go out with certain groups people, go to parties etc... This is another thing I regret, as I only have a few good acquaintances now. I'd describe myself as sort of a ghost. I dont have many people that actually know me, but no one dislikes me enough to tell me to go away. As I am no longer in school I have felt like I have wasted most of my youth as well, and it pisses me off thinking about it at night.
Although I feel as though its getting better, I am still shy around girls I find even slightly attractive.

However, I can assure you that in no way has having one testicle affected my growth at all. I will tell you now that (even though i am Australian *stupid Joke* ;) ) my erect penis is around 6.5-6.7 inches (16-17cm). I had pubic hair when i was about 10-11 years old. My legs are really hairy now. I've got average armpit hair, and my chest hair is still growing.

I remember being curious about what it should look like because I am also circumcised (at birth), and the boys around me were actually smaller and were less matured than I was (which for a short time I was kinda proud of until i found i had only 1 testicle).

In height I am about 170cm tall. I am just a bit taller than my dad, and my voice is nearly as deep as his. I also shave once every week when I can remember. And I do have a fairly manly physique for someone who is lacking in regular exercise.

This may sound funny, but I personally find that having one testicle is why I matured quicker. And like some other guy said before I actually think it sent my body into overdrive mode to compensate for the missing organ. Just like a person who looses their sight develops a sharp sense of hearing. Anyway I won't go into those details seeing as there are Mums on this forum :).

Anyway, I am glad I found this forum. Hopefully having communicated my issues may have helped me rid my anti-social behavior a little. We have to overcome these mental barriers. Good luck buddy.

i was born with one testical myself,, never had any problem sexually because i was born with one my testical kinda mutated in 2 in 1 testical i have 1 big testical ,, i went to see the urologist and made some tests my testestorone levels where even a little higher than normal, but phycologically everytime i date a girl im kinda afraid of her reaction if shes gonna think imma freak because i got only 1 then i know shes not meant to be my gf anyways,,, but i recomond everyone with one testical to get checked by a urologist because the second testical might not of ever developped and i know that may cause cancer,, but other than that i dont think im any less of a man than anyone with 2 testicals

Hey, I Myself have only one testicle. Currently I am 20 years old and I lost mine when I was about 5 years old. Till this day i dont even know the exact reason as to what happened. It must have been some tramatic blow to my testicle area, because whenever i ask my parents they just tell me I one day complained about a pain in my testicular area. I only regret not getting it taken care of ASAP in the hopes that it would have been revived.

Growing up I've always kept it a secret for fear of reprisal from other people. Even though I know its not big issue it still plauges me till this day asking God why me, what did I do to deserve for this.

Depsite all the negative I've learned to deal with the issue. I've had girlfriends before with one specifically being very sexually. I was fortunate for she never had noticed for it was both our first time. I do have dear however for girls who have experince because its easier for them to notice these things. I admit however I abstain from extreme sexual activity because I fear that one day a certain girl may discover this problem. I know that this shouldn't matter but I'm certain everyone with one testicle can understand my point of view.

With my one testicle I've leanred to be sexually controlled. The Way i look at it, is God is doing me a favor for you never know what happens when you become sexually active, one mistake and you'll regret it. However i know for sure if i had 2 testicles that I would very much indeed be extremely sexual active. The one testicle is a good inhibitor for sinning that is commited by being sexually promiscious. One way of making girls not notice your testicle affliction is letting them know in sexual incounters that you dont get off on testicle rubbing etc. It worked for me and she never touched that area afterwards. Finally to all one testicle people out there your not alone, I too know the pain and agony but always remember things happen for a reason and positive thinking will overcome all obstacles.

I just found out last night that i was born with one testicle because i never really noticed it till my mom told me and i was shocked. and im really parionod about testiculer cancer because the have to remove it and i don't know what i would do if it had to be removed.

and im only 13.

Hi all,

Well Here's another guy with only one joining the club!!!

Yep, my left one went when i was 11, teen years were tough, only because of my fear of what my mates would say, but now at 39, I'm not too worried, yeah I do think about it everyday, but there is far more to any relationship than just a bollock, if a girl is freaked, she's not worth knowing. BUT, looking from the other side, what would all us guys say if we found out our new girl only had one breast? I persoanlly think it's the shock of it that can cause people to freak, so my advice, when you get more involved with your girl, just bring the subject up nice and slow.


So to all you guys worried, don't do it, and these days you have options, have an implant, or learn to live with it. either way, it's not a problem.

But the bottom line is, there's nothing to be ashmed of, and I have to admit, I thought I was only one of a very few with this issue, so I'm pleased to know i'm not.

Hey perhaps we should start an exclusive club???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi um this is awkward but i was born with only my left testicle and im worried about the amount of sperm that i produce, even my girlfriend has commented on it. Is it normal to have a small amount ejaculated for people with only one testicle?

Hi saucy, just thought i'd reply to your post.

I always thought the same thing, but a few years back i had a hernia, and wanted to bank some sperm incase of emergencies!

I was very surprised to learn that my one testicle, was compensating for the lost one, and i had A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE SPERM COUNT.

So I don't think you have anything to worry about, and remember ejaculate doesn't ONLY come the testes, there is seminal fluid which I believe comes from the prostate, and in my view no one shoots the amount you see on the internet p**n sites.

So I'd say you have nothing to worry about, but you may want to see a doctor and be sure??

hope this helps

Danny
