I have the same opinion ! How old are you?

As the testicles generally produce less testosterone over time then the testicles will shrink accordingly.

Thank you

you know, bodybuilders who underwent hormone replacement therapy will have their testicles size reduced significantly. it's because external testosterone intake will put their own testicles into vacation mode, the size will be smaller because it stops producing its own testosterone.

same principle applied when we are ageing, our balls produce less and less as the time goes by, so the size will get smaller too. of course everybody is different, the rate of deterioration will vary as well.

that is afaik, contact docs for details.

I’ve seen a lot of older men with large testicles so not sure if they shrink with age.

It’s been 6 weeks since my circumcision and I’m giving it more time to heal but I can’t wait to empty mine haha. I used to empty mine everyday too.

I’ve been slowly massaging mine for now but ready to go full on. Im just being extra cautious.

I agree with you Jgarcia2020 about older men.

I wonder if it depends on other health factors that make them get smaller I heard men that get less sleep have smaller balls how true that is I don’t know

in reply to wlm9700

I am not sure why that would be the case wlm9700 . But I do know it is really important to regularly check for lumps, bumps and tender spots down there.

It was a science post a read mentioning the sleep but idk how they would correlate

I don’t think my balls have shrunk as I’ve got older. I never realised I had big balls till a drunken comparison at a festival back in the 90’s. The main trouble with my balls is that my cock hides in them when it’s cold and all you can see is some foreskin sticking out inbetween them!

in reply to

haha, I can relate to that.

mine used to look like alien cocoon when the weather's cold.

I have not noticed any reduction in the size of mine. (In my sixties now).

They have, however, retained their sensitivity and need to be handled gently.

That is bang on tam

Thanks for your response. Mine haven’t become more sensitive.

On the plus side, gravity kicks in more with age!

in reply to Gridlocked

Definitely. Even if I didn’t like them, I’d have to wear briefs as mine hang down in warm weather

in reply to

You certainly don’t want to inadvertently sit on them!

in reply to Gridlocked

@Gridlocked and @WhiteBriefs (and others!) - I recently discovered “dual pouch” underwear. They provide perfect support for your balls - mine no longer ache after a physically active day. There is a separate compartment for your dick.

They are available from your favourite on line retailer.

I really recommend them!

I wish it was only the testicles
