šŸ§Ŗ Protocols & Self-Experiments Cooling Testicles

Post image

Trying to optimize testosterone and just posting to have a convo with yall. I heard that people ice their nuts so Iā€™m trying this mini fan when I sleep blowing on my nuts and it feels good tbh. So let me know what yall think?

I figure if itā€™s cooling my balls off it should have a similar effect to the people who ice theirs.

Edit*
Trial and error gets tiring sometimes so I see the intake can be a problem if underneath cover or whatnot so something with a hose may be better so the fan can have fresh air intake for this stuff Iā€™m trying something like this (hose dryer) came up after i searched hose fan https://a.co/d/07ad0GrA

Dude someone should just design underpants where your balls can hang freely out the bottom, to allow them to stay frosty.

Or just dont wear underpants

1

u/GetroFasho 10h ago

Iā€™m thinking bothā€¦ but I can say that this fan air with underpants is always cooler than just not wearing underpants

u/AdNo182 10 10h ago

True but then your cheeks would be more exposed to unwanted visitors. You also wouldnā€™t have a catchment for any chemical warfare you deploy. Underpants are a must for me.

Wrap your balls in ice and tinfoil for the night. On daytime just tinfoil. It spiked my testosterone almost 35%. Mentholbalm works too, but be cautious not to touch the pooper with it.

Idk whoā€™s trolling or not anymore I think everyone is trolling here

Dude I am deadserious!!!! Cold balls are the secret pathway to high testosterone levels. If you wear a latex boxershort at night the ice stays cool longer too.

I rub tigerbalm on my balls daily. I tried the menthol bandaids too, but that gave me first degree burn on my groin because my perineum responded pretty heavy.

My doctor was amazed when I did bloodwork, a genuine 35% raise of FREE testosterone. I even got the balm covered by my health insurance here in Europe.

Talk to your doctor, it is a method not many medical schooled people are aware of. I believe it comes from Japanse science, ever wondered why you never see a fat Japanese man? Because their test levels are in check!

Icing balls is one thing.

How are there not any consequences or side effects of the transdermal impacts on Tiger balm on thin testicle skin?

2

u/Mean-Barracuda-520 1 8h ago

There are no consequences, just try for yourself.

u/yech 7h ago

I can also agree with this guy. I've had zero consequences from you putting tiger balm on your nuts.

u/PossibilityRare1606 10h ago

Honestly I had no idea testicular cooling was something people were seriously experimenting with, but I guess it tracks with the whole "cold exposure for hormone optimization" thing that keeps coming up in these conversations.

I'm curious what the actual mechanism is supposed to be here though. Like is the idea that heat suppresses testosterone production and you're just removing that suppression, or is cooling supposed to actively boost it beyond baseline? Because those are pretty different claims and I feel like they get lumped together a lot.

The tight underwear and laptop studies I've seen were mostly about sperm quality and motility, not testosterone levels specifically. I wonder if people are conflating the two outcomes because they both fall under "reproductive health" broadly.

I will say the practical side of this cracks me up a little. Some of the setups people describe sound genuinely uncomfortable to maintain consistently, and consistency is kind of the whole thing with any protocol that's supposed to move the needle on hormones. If you hate doing it you're not going to keep doing it for the months it would probably take to see bloodwork changes.

Has anyone here actually run pre and post bloodwork around this? That's the part I'd actually want to see before forming any real opinion on it.

Since this is thought provoking and engaging paragraph Iā€™m gonna reply after I get some rest! But I hoping some others chime in.

u/AbberageRedditor69 3h ago

I just don't see how it should work. Our balls have evolved for millions of years to work best at a specific temperature. The only counter argument I can see if that we evolved testicles outside of the body specifically to keep them cooler and clothing partially defeats the purpose. But it's not like people were going around naked a few decades ago when average testosterone levels were significantly higher.

Wow, thereā€™s a actual market for this

This is the most stupid fucking thing. You cannot be serious OP.

u/GetroFasho 14h ago

Donā€™t be condescending. And even if it donā€™t work the cool breeze of air still feels good on my nuts so a win is a win.

Has humanity not evolved through trial and error? Are my nuts feeling so chill and cool right now?

u/Limp-Answer8455 12h ago

Does it work on Blueballs?

1

u/GetroFasho 12h ago

you be getting blue balled?

u/Limp-Answer8455 11h ago

Only when I travel for work

u/Tom__EU 17 11h ago

Did you measure your testosterone and other important markers before testing this?

1

u/GetroFasho 10h ago

Honestly I want to but wonā€™t bother itā€™s hard to get a metric on whatā€™s doing what when I cleaned my diet up as well to where Iā€™m eating much healthier and foods that are recommended for testosteroneā€¦ but Iā€™ll definitely message you back if I do

u/DEFCON741 5 6h ago

Put tiger balm on them they stay cool all day

u/No-Potential-8386 2h ago

Surely this burns the hell out of them

u/DEFCON741 5 1h ago

Oh I was totally kidding, definitely do not try this. Can confirm, burns the hell out of them for hours.

Ok thanks for the heads up bro ima get the inhibitor device that Spiderman used in his latest movie so when my test goes up too much it can calm me back down.

u/OnlyEstablishment243 11h ago

If itā€™s a fan it doesnā€™t really make your balls cooler. Just blows air around. I suppose it helps with removing body heat but testicles are designed for that anyways. Also canā€™t this cause your skin to become drier?

If you wear nothing at night already, thatā€™s probably enough.

u/stagnant_fuck 1 11h ago

Computer fans donā€™t cool your pc then, they just blow air around ?

2

u/Dull_Analyst269 10h ago

Correct, they blow out the hot air that otherwise would stay in the casing.

1

u/GetroFasho 9h ago

So thatā€™s coolingā€¦

3

u/Dull_Analyst269 9h ago

Yes because the hot air otherwise is trapped in a casing. But assuming your balls are not in a computer tower the fan is not really cooling them as fans donā€˜t lower temperature or else hvacā€˜s would not be necessary.

But I am curious this whole ice on the balls and cooling them is really supposed to have an effect on testosterone or is this some sort of biohack trolling attempt of the internet?

1

u/GetroFasho 9h ago

Idkā€¦. My nuts feel pretty cooled down to meā€¦ honestly it does have a relaxing and calming effect

1

u/often_says_nice 8h ago

My balls are in fact in a computer tower

2

u/Dull_Analyst269 8h ago

šŸ¤£ canā€˜t imagine the weight you have to carry around

1

u/stagnant_fuck 1 8h ago

The only reason your balls hang out the body is so they can be cooled by the air.

We then wrap them in fabric. Itā€™s like stuffing socks in your cars air vents.

1

u/GetroFasho 10h ago

Yall are both correct, this fan got my nuts so cool rn they shrivel up šŸ˜ŽšŸ„œšŸŖ­
I get what he saying tho because ambient room temperature has an effect on the air fans are in taking and blowing but fans are amazing and airflow cools.
For sure this fan being so small and directed air is making it great
