I never had one but I guy at school had a similar problem, he got a twisted testicle when he got smashed in the groin playing Squash (Racquet Ball). Had to have the testicle removed the next day, and yeah a lot of the guys joked with him about it. As far as I know he had the operation a few years later and got a prosthetic implant to match. I'm not in touch with him now but the jokes stopped and I've seen him wearing swimmers, looked hot (he probably got a bigger ball?).

I've felt a guys balls who later told me one was a false one - to be honest i would never had known had he not told me!!!!

Jon, I don't know how old you are, but what you have to understand is that you are no longer in high school. No one will be knocking you down at this point to build themselves up, which is what the original teasing was about. Trust me as long as you are honest before the pants come off, you will not have people making fun of you for it, unless it is in pure jest.
If you honestly feel that you cannot function without the implant then spend a lot of money to get it. But realize it is a personal thing.
Now go get laid.

I wouldn't care if you have only one ball as long as you're a great guy. Sometimes people can be hurtful, but you shouldn't mind them one bit.

I heard that some people have had testicle implants so that they can have bigger balls, dont know how true that is or if its just to get them both the same size?

I have been in this situation, as When i was 12 I had an unfortunate run in with the crossbar of a Bicycle and a pot-hole. I have no problems, other than a slightly longer recharge time than most. I found that during sex if anyone wonders aloud, they are ok if you just tell them upfront "I had an accident." I'd assume the same would apply for TC survivors. It happens, and if anyones shallow enough to make fun of your equipment while you're having sex, you're prolly not meant to be dating them.

I've met others with this condition, one was beaten up as a child and had to have one replaced, so it was smaller then the other one. The other was in the same boat as myself, bike accident, but wasn't self concious about it. What you have to remember is, If it works, and works well, then don't worry about being short one, Having equipment issues of any kind just opens the doors for self-doubt, which we don't need any of.

Try dating without an implant, and if the issue comes up, explain it, or just tell them up front before sex starts. Often people just seem to assume it's pulled up inside, which does sometimes happen with testicles during arousal. If after a few times you or your dates are still uncomfortable, think about getting one.

Remember, he's dating You, not your Balls.

You're twice the man they are --- four balls worth --- if you just ignore them. If anyone comments negatively just give them a look like (or go ahead and say it) "are you retarded or do you have Tourette's?" If they comment positively, well...you know what happens next.

my last boyfriend had one testicle as well. In fact, he was born with this condition. We were not intimate for the first 4 months as I had wanted to wait. When we finally did, before I could take off his pants he whispered in my ear and told me he only had one testicle. I didn't even bat an eyelash.

What I'm trying to say is, if you want to start dating that's cool. Any guy you deem worthy enough to sleep with won't care one iota. And if they do... NEXT!

Jon, I had an implant put in about 14 years ago after I had testicular cancer and had to have one removed. I actually did not care all that much at the time whether I would be getting a prosthetic testicle as a replacement, but the insurance paid for it (but only if I had it done at the same time as the medical procedure to remove the cancerous testicle). My experience is that it looks and carries around naturally, but it is a hard silicone, not squishy and soft. Guys will be able to tell the difference if they start feeling around down there. But the truth is, most guys and most people really don't care how big your balls are (or how you have). If you are very self-conscious about it, then go ahead an have one put in. But it has made very little difference to me or my life or my sex life. And frankly, if I met a guy that was freaked out by me only having one ball or having a fake one, or would be judging me for that, he probably would not be the kind of person I'd want to be in an intimate relationship with anyway. If you are healthy and everything works, spend the money and time on getting your head in a good place about liking yourself and knowing you are perfect enough just the way you are.

Teabag me. I won't complain or ridicule you.
If you're cool, it's not a problem with me; and I hardly think I'm unique in that aspect.
Meet lots of guys, tell them what happened and leave behind the ones who can't handle it or are jerks.

I picked a guy up at a party once. When we got down to it it turned out that he only had one ball. It certainly didn't faze me and he didn't feel to the need to comment or explain it. He was pretty sexy and the sex was good (from what I remember). If you meet a guy and he has a problem with you only having one ball he more than liklely isn't the right guy for you. having an opeartion is a big deal but only you can decide. At the end of the day you would be doing it for yourself and not for any future partners. That's not a bad thing - it's just that if you would feel better about yourself go for it. I agree with Derek above - teasing ends when school ends but the physcological (how ever you spell it) damange stays for a lot longer. Just ask any fat kid with an eating disorder as an adult.

It is simply plastic surgery. Everyone is doing it. If you can afford it and it will make you feel better about yourself, go for it. I knew a guy, very well hung who had cancer, had the testicle removed and got a prosthetic immediately. And yes, he got one slightly larger and he was so proud of it.
