one testicle

[webbguy]

I only have one testicle . I have been to several nude resorts, I love being nude but can't help thinking people are laughing at me with one ball. Has anyone seen a guy with one testicle at a resort ? Thanks for the replies!

Actually I am not sure I dont focus on the testicals and dont think most people do socially. Dont sweat it.

[ScubaRay]

I have one that didn't "form" correctly so it may look like I have only one. Just the way it worked out. Been nude at a beach many of times and didn't care what I my body looks like. Just remeber even the "perfect" body is not all that perfect so don't worry about it.

I don't go looking at guys to pick out things to laugh at or belittle when at a beach or anyplace else. I don't think very few of the members on this site do.

[Petrus]

It is possible to have a prosthetic one implanted. A web search will produce a wealth of information.

I wouldn't worry about it around other nudists. Most accept you as who you are. I've found that out being disabled so enjoy the resorts and beaches.

Look at it this way, if they point & laugh, they're the one with the problem not you - no one's perfect.

[Lilwilly]

I think one of the most important aspects of a satisfying nudist experience is body acceptance. Most of us if we think about it have aspects of our body which we would like to change if we could wish it so. The trick is, to get used to not thinking about it and enjoying the moment. It worked for me.

As far as your specific case, I never count so I would probably never notice. If I did notice, I certaily wouldn't think any more or less of you. We are all born with our genitals as they are, no differently than our nose for example. Some have big noses, some small, and some crooked, but we can't change that and certainly are not responsible for the appearance.

Be happy.

[Sauna]

Not a problem. It is hard to recognize. More easy is one breast and those brave females you can seen in nudist resorts.

I understand that you feel it is a big problem but not. So do not worry there are bigger problems in the world. Real nudist do not notice it.

[nudeM]

Don't worry about it. There are a lot of people who have physical disabilities that go nude. Their problems doesn't disuade them from participating in nude ventures. Don't let it bother you. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/smoking.gif

[Fuzzy Nuts]

As you will find on a nudist beach those with a PERFECT body are far and few between. Still waiting to see my first one.

I agree with the above comments - give it a try - its not going to get any easier if you keep putting it off.

[Nude in the North]

When I first met my wife. I wanted to know if she was Tickelish.
So I gave her a test tickle.

I doubt anyone would care if you had 3.

Steve

[Ewan M]

I just got one too

[Flanudedude]

Nobody would care, but retained testicles have a high malignancy rate. I am a veterinarian and always encourage pets with retained testicles (cryptorchidism) be neutered. I am not suggesting you get neutered, LOL, but you should see a surgeon to bring it into the scrotum.
Take Care and Stay Bare,
Pat

[Tennisfun]

I too was born with only one, after many years of wondering I asked my doctor about getting an implant. I've done that and am very happy with it and wonder why I didn't do it sooner. I have four kids so I know potency is not an issue. I never had anyone comment on it, I don't think anyone ever noticed. I've found it's more common than you might think.

In 28 years of nudism, I had never given it a thought or notice -- then again, I'm not a guy who goes checking out others' scrota.

So, Webbguy - I don't think anyone's noticed. And certainly no one would laugh.

However, I have had two friends at the park I am a member of who had testicular cancer and had one removed. And around 15 months ago, I had to undergo examination for the same (it was negative, thankfully).

But the focus with my friends was on the emotional recovery from surgery and ongoing physical recovery from cancer, not on one versus two. And they also supported ME when I was facing the same.

[David77]

I had a friend who had no visible testicles whatever, but his scrotum was there, and I feel sure that no one wondered what his scrotum contained, but simply did not notice that he had no visible testicles.

[miracleman]

Have no worries or fears.Just go out and enjoy your times with other nudists.No one is there to be perfect.No one is.You certainly wont be judged...and I like others have already said here doubt people will hardly notice.One of the many attributes of nudism is that all are seen as equals...and the same.Ive seen several woman with either only one breast..and none.They were having as good and happy times as anybody else.
Best wishes and good luck to you.
have fun.

[Ken Palmer]

As all of the previous posts have pointed out, I hardly think it will be a problem within the nudist circle or environment. Our philosophy revolves around body acceptance, not gawking at a person's private area. At least the true nudist/naturists don't!

I do not think anybody at a resort or beach would care. Nobody is staring at your dissability, who cares.
I have a dissability too, and feel fine nude, surrounded by nude people. In my case people approach me from time to time and ask questions about what they see. I really do not care, I just give them a nice correct anwer to their question.
But in your case, they have to have good eyes, to see what you have or haven't. Think about it, they are not gonne laugh if you would have small or big testicles. In a nude environment all bodies are accepted, this is the nice thing about nudism.

[tinner666]

http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif I think everybody here answered the question well. Don't worry about it! Nobody will care, unless it's a doctor with some input. And that's nothing to worry about either.

[Rabid_Clam]

As some one said having only one testicle is difficult to notice and even if it were no one really cares. Having only one testicle is far more common these days and it is not an unusual event.

My father had only one and produced two children after that one was removed. So it doesn't slow anyone down sexually, it most certainly should not even begin to slow anyone down socially.

[RalphVa]

webbguy,

I'd be surprised to know if anyone has even noticed. Unless it's at least about 80 degrees, mine don't usually descend. Doesn't bother me if they don't.

Doesn't even bother me if my penis is shrunk up to about 1" or less in cold weather. Had a gal laugh at it once, just barely sticking out, when I was skinny dipping in the Atlantic off the coast of Sicily. I just laughed back.

Same with a gal whose **** where flopping up and down wildly as she was trying to catch a frisby. We laughed. She laughed. All in good fun. Hers were like some you'd see in a tribe on the Travel channel, just hung there like deflated balloons.

[Big-Thinker]

I absolutely agree. Men often have the strangest ideas about what women (or men) will notice when nude, and the number, size or shape of your testicles is probably not at the top of that list. Even if it is noticed, it would probably not be a judgemental or negative way - not by real nudists. I have a harmless, but visible abnormality on one side that is very noticable to me, but nobody else in my nude life has ever thought it odd-looking until/unless I pointed it out.

[walter05]

You should not feel embarrassed. However, you should be concerned for your health.

takes you to the American Cancer Society website. You will see the risk factors for testicular cancer. If you have a testicle that is not in the scrotum, it may be in your abdomen and place you at much higher risk.

provides instructions on how to check the descended testicle for cancer. (All men with one or two descended should test.)

Your health and life are most important. Follow up and protect yourself.

[nakedpoet]

I have SB and one testicle (the other one vanished, I was offered surgery but declined), my philosophy when it comes to being nude, is if you don't like it don't look. Nudism is all about the freedom to be in your natural state.

[FishyDave]

Coming at this from a slightly different angle, I was rather self-conscious about my 'bits', with having hypospadias. I've had corrective surgery, but unusually didn't need to be circumcised as part of the repair procedure (they usually need the skin to reconstruct the urethra.) This has left me with the 'half a foreskin' that's a characteristic of the birth defect.

So, not really being that au fait with what a normal one's supposed to look like, I was quite concerned that mine would be obviously different once I'd stripped off. Well touch wood, I don't think anyone's ever noticed and they certainly haven't commented.

I've often said it, but not here so I'll say it again: I think those with body image issues (for whatever reason) have the most to gain from naturism. :)

Would you yourself laugh at someone who had a limp, one leg, one arm, one eye??

Those who do are immature dickwits - not the sort of people I would want to associate with, and presumably neither would you...

[freelife]

A guy I know lost his nut on a barb wire fence one day he got hooked up while jumping it .He is known as one nut , has fathered two kids .

[nudenwv]

i'm with flanudeddude! see a family doctor and see what he has to say about it. i'm surprised he hasn't suggested anything yet. if it really bothers you they can put a replacement in much like a marble but bigger. not much concern at nudist facilities as everyone has stated.

Same with me, unless it's really warm they don't hang at all they stay really tight up to my body and almost disappear, it must look like I haven't got any sometimes and I feel quite conscious of that. Feels much better when it's really warm and everything relaxes, feels more normal I suppose because it doesn't seem right when it's all up tight with a shrunken penis. But I don't see that having only one testicle would even be noticed without close scrutiny.

I love your attitude and concur 100%! We've got what we've got and nothing we can do about it and no need to care anyway. It just doesn't matter. If my penis gets all small and shy I don't care. I did have a friend I used to go to the gym with who nature had blessed abundantly in that department and once we were on a long trip and had to make an emergency bathroom stop on the side of the road and were laughing about cars possibly coming by and catching a glimpse and he made a wisecrack like "well, at least in your case if they saw they still wouldn't see anything" and I just laughed with him and gave him a shove.
We have to be able to laugh at ourselves I think. I appreciate the attitude of the gal playing frisbee too, LOL!

[Josh-here]

...but to answer your question, I really don't think anyone would ever notice at all. I can't speak for the ladies, but I for one do not pay attention to men's testicles!
People both male and female do glance at a guy's penis I guess, like they say even in the gym all guys glance a few seconds and compare themselves, but I just don't think scrotums are something people really look at.

[Nude in the North]

Keep in mind, that over half the people in the world,
don't have any.

[BRISnude]

I agree I don't think anyone would notice. Anyway who would care if they did, it would only be the non-nudists that would make a comparison. Life's too short to worry about how other people might think you look. Get out and enjoy the freedom as often as possible.

[sunfisher]

The body is just a shell that contains the person inside. It dosen't really matter what the outside looks like, its whats inside that counts. As for one nut, eh so what. I was born with a hernia that kept my right one from dropping and it had to be removed. I've never let it bother me. As a teenager I often went skinnydipping with friends and no one seemed to care. My wife (of 22yrs) and I have 2 children (+ grandchildren), no problems there. About six years ago I talked her into joining me in social nudism. Ever since then we've travelled to several different resorts, met a lot of very nice imperfect people and had a lot fun. We have also hosted a few nude bbq/swim parties at our home. Not once has anyone ever made mention of or made us uncomfortable about my slight imperfection. So it dosen't really matter. Just be yourself and have fun.

[Journeyman]

The body is just a shell that contains the person inside. ...met a lot of very nice imperfect people and had a lot fun. ....

Sunfisher, you've said it all. No one is perfect -- and part of the pleasure of naturism is realising we are all very different bodies enjoying life without clothing.

[Pizzaguy]

The body is just a shell that contains the person inside.

I am very new to nudism, but this statement seems like the fundamental foundation of true nudism.

I hope so, 'cause one look at me will tell you: I will NEVER be seen in any Wal Mart underwear poster ! :o

[Joontiki]

I truly cannot fathom one testicle being noticed, let alone laughed at! Body parts come in all shapes, sizes, (& numbers), and all are beautiful. Please don't worry about something like that! . . . Just in case you're interested in a woman's perspective.

[fre2bnude]

I can't believe that having only one testicle would ever be noticed.
But I do believe that people, nude or otherwise, will look at and compare themselves to others, and even nudists will glance and compare, very accepting maybe but still comparing. I can admire and enjoy seeing a beautiful woman, or even a fit muscular man. If they are nude you can see even more of them and if he or she are well endowed that's nice, but I'll accept and not criticise if they are otherwise.
Before becoming a nudist I did think for a long time that I was not very well endowed in the penis dept, but since becoming a nudist and seeing others nude I have realised that I am "average" and am a lot happier. So, seeing and comparing has helped my confidence and I'm happy to be seen nude.

[cacoolguy]

nudists accept everyone for who they are - one testical or two.

[JeepNude]

Unless someone was touching you inappropriately, how would they know? Get past this as soon as possible and stop beating yourself up! We all accept you for yourself and not your appearance. Get your butt out to the club, dangit!!!

[ctmike345]

interesting. can u even tell? i guess i dont pay enough attention to testicles. no sweat.

[Dave5]

Seems doubtful anyone would notice

[Nudekj]

Nudism is about living freely without the burden of clothes.It´s not about people looking at & comparing the intactness of their genitals.
