Читать книгу Sex For Dummies - Pierre Lehu A., Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer - Страница 48

Despite the fact that some men adopt a tough-guy, macho image, the heart of their maleness, the testicles, is highly sensitive. The testicles are so sensitive that men may experience some pain down there just by thinking about the pain that occurs when their testicles are struck by an object.

If a boy has never had the sensations caused by a blow to the scrotum, then he may not see the need to wear a cup over his groin area when playing rough sports. But no man who has suffered this agony would hesitate for a minute to protect himself with a cup, especially because cups can prevent injury to the testes that may cause fertility problems later on. (For some odd reason, football players, who wear padding everywhere else, avoid taking any protective measures down there. That’s about the only factor you won’t hear discussed during all the coverage prior to the Super Bowl!)
