Icing the Testicles

[Geyser7]

I have a very significant varicocele that results in blood pooling around my testicles. I was informed by my doctor that this could negatively impact sperm production and fertility so I had a vericocelectomy procedure done about 15 years ago. Unfortunately the procedure was unsuccessful. Due to the increased blood pooling, my testicles are very warm, and hang extremely low to compensate for the temperature.

The past few years I noticed that I was feeling very lethargic and had very low sex drive. I began to wonder about my testosterone levels so I had some blood work done. The results showed that my testosterone levels were on the very low end of average for men and well below average for men my age (38 years old).

I began researching natural ways to increase testosterone and realized that everything recommended (healthy diet, exercise, sleep, zinc, vitamin D, etc...) I was already doing. I eat extremely healthy, exercise daily, do not drink alcohol or smoke, yet I still have very low testosterone.

After trying some over the counter supplements without any improvement I began to speculate that my vericocele was causing my testicles to be way too warm, leading to the low testosterone and low libido.

I began to research methods for cooling the testicles and began icing my testicles recently. I saw an immediate improvement in libido. After having an ice pack on my testicles for 20 minutes or so I began to become very horny and develop an absolutely rock hard erection without even trying. I'm not sure what this is/will do to my testosterone levels because I haven't had them checked, but I can say it definitely increases my sex drive.

Does anyone else have an experience like that or use methods to cool their testicles?

Yes. It works. And once you get over the natural aversion to dangling your balls in a bowl of ice water, it’s really enjoyable, especially on a hot day to cool your whole body.

That sounds...painful? Or at least uncomfortable?

Im glad its seemingly helped though I guess.

That's actually really interesting. Submerging your body in a drastic change in temperature is healing and reinvigorating your body's processes.

I also have varicocele in my testicles. While I was able to have children I eventually lost my libido. Recently I started a testosterone therapy called Biote. You might want to look into it. I'm 71 and wake up every morning horny as hell. My wife and I have sex almost every morning

I used to take ice baths, which is invigorating.. good for the skin and muscle recovery. Russians take ice baths regularly..

As an aside, long ago I read that during sex when you are about to cum, putting the ballsack in ice increases intensity of orgasm and load size..???

I remember that. Just as you were cumming, the chick held a handful of icecubes in your taint area. If she was really dexterous, she'd pull the 5 ball anal toy out of your ass, one ball at a time, at the same time!

Cool balls are healthy balls. That's why they hang low in warm weather. Icing them for short periods has been shown to benefit testicular health. Plunging them in a bowl of ice water is sooooooo refreshing on a hot summer day.
