A One Nut Life

What’s it like to be a one nut case? Apparently men with only one testicle have different attitudes to their condition. A single, hanging nut is a huge embarrassment for some guys while others simply have the confidence not to give it a second thought. After all, one nut does not make half a man.

Monorchism is a medical term for “one-ballism.” Men with a single nut may have been born with an undescended testicle or may have undergone surgical removal because of testicular cancer or testicular torsion.

Having half a sack full doesn’t biologically make much difference. One testicle can take the job of two. One ball can manufacture the same amount of testosterone as two. As long as you are healthy, sperm production proceeds just as any normal male’s. Not to worry, your fertility is still assured. You can go father a brood just like any other twin baller.

Since your testosterone resumes normal levels despite just one nut toiling away, your libido, erections and ejaculation should be unchanged. In fact, aside from hormone production, the testes do not have much bearing on sexual performance.

If you find your taste for sex on the low side after a very good rest period, post surgery, or if you have been having sexual performance issues, then know it may not be a physiological problem anymore; it may be a psychological one. Some one nutters may already have a poor body image so that exposing themselves in sexual situations makes them doubly anxious and very insecure. Feelings of inadequacy lead to performance problems which shouldn’t have arisen in the first place. Most partners often don’t really care about you having one testicle or both. If your partner does, then maybe he or she just isn’t worth being with. You can sizzle in bed if you work on having a good self image. Insecurity simply makes for lacklustre sex.

There is such a thing as implants, though, in case you want to know. Surgical implant of a fake ball is possible but all this does is simply assuage your aesthetic senses, in case they are being sorely tried.

A number of famous and infamous people are or were monorchids, owners of one-eyed willies. Here’s a fascinating list:

• Napoleon Bonaparte — French emperor who threatened world stability in the late 16th to early 17th century

• Adolf Hitler — Nazi leader most remembered for the rise of fascism in Europe, World War II, and the Holocaust

• General Francisco Franco — Spanish dictator

• Arnold Schwarzenegger — 38th Governor of California, professional actor, bodybuilder; the “Terminator” guy;

• Lance Armstrong — survived testicular cancer and went on to win the Tour de France, a record breaking seven consecutive times

• John Kruk —- former Major League Baseball player; presently a baseball analyst for ESPN.

• Mike Lowell — former Major League Baseball player who played for the New York Yankees, Florida Marlins and the Boston Red Sox

• Frank Church — U.S. Senator from Idaho from 1957 to 1981

• Tom Green ——– comedian, talk show host, writer, actor, rapper

Having one lone nut shouldn’t faze you. After all it didn’t faze them.
