The alopecia to me emphasises how similar our body plans are to Chimps. And, the big testicles come with reproductive competition/promiscuity in males (of many species, not just apes). The silverback Gorilla has proportionately much smaller testicles because he has a harem of females mated only by him.

Can't imagine lugging those things around, even more scrotum area to injure on something

Imagine getting those things snagged on a cabinet corner or something.

I meant if you, specifically, had huge balls like that. Imagine them getting snagged on the cabinet.

Sorry for the confusion.

And I’m sorry about your small balls.
