    My two cents and one balls worth

    Hi there all.
    When I was told that I had to have a testicle removed I spent alot of time researching it all on the Net. Living in Japan it was the best source of knowledge.

    I came to the conclusion that hey yeah why not be 'normal' and have to boys instead of one.

    When I asked the question of my Doctor I was advised that yes it is possible, but would be another operation and that there experience was that it didn't work out well for most men.

    Having gone through the op for one removed I figured I wasn't that keen for another to pop the other back in. (that is unless they come up with the bluetooth enabled vibrating model, and hey here they just might).

    On a serious note, yeah it fealt odd have one for a long time. After going through chemo for it as well, I've had my fill of hosptials! And does it all work, hell yes!!! Had a great time recently where I found out that one nut works just as fine as two!

    It did take a while but I'm happily adjusted to having one nut. 99.9% of the time now I dont' even notice. Underware was a mild issue to get the right 'support', but other than that. Hey! whatever.

    To be a little off record as I was told, 'less of a mouthfull!'

    cheers

      RIGHT ON!!!

          I had one installed, but not for aesthetics. Especially on these hot Summer days things, well, loosen up. When righty was on his own in his roomier house he had a tendency to get all twisted up. So I got him a bean to lean on. He's happier now.
