I’ve never been in a long term relationship and never had anyone see me nude. How hard would it be for you to look past the missing nut? I’m definitely self conscious of it, but not sure if its a big deal. Lost it as a result of cancer, I’m fine now with low likelihood of recurrence. Got a nice scar from the surgery :)

I can’t imagine it would be a turn off for anyone who is worth your time.
I can pretty confidently say that most people will literally not even notice the difference. That’s likely the last thing your partners will even look at lol. There is a lot more interesting appendage right above it that most people will be focusing on. I think it’ll just make for a cool story if anyone asks. Say it was from a fight with a shark or something 😋. Most of the time I have to actually mention like hey could you play with my balls while we’re in a position where she can reach and then she’ll play with them, other then that its kinda a forgotten body part. 😅 So yeah don’t sweat it, congrats on remission really good you caught that early!
I’m not sure nobody would know the difference. If I grabbed someones balls, I’d expect two of them. Thanks for the opinion!
I mean as owners of balls we know what to expect but we can feel our own balls when we grab them. If someone else is grabbing them it just kinda feels like weird sack of softish things…probably less obvious I’d its one or two in there. 😄
I can’t imagine many would care.
I like balls, but the physical impact they provide is that lovely feeling of having the scrotum slap into me. I guess two could provide a heavier impact, but kinetic energy is the square of velocity, not mass.
Have a doc implant a titanium nut. Bruise some cheeks.
Damn, they took the bigger one. Guess I’ll have to make up for mass in a different way. Seriously though, my left one grew to double it’s normal size in a week so probably for the best it’s not there anymore.

I also lost one ball when I was young. I have had sex with several women, and they don’t notice the missing ball unless I tell them.
Less awkward to explain a missing one than an extra.

This is the level of story I would be telling about Lefty, lol.
I wish it was that badass. In reality my body decided it wanted a death match with itself.
I have zero interest in balls, even my own but at the end of the day I can guarantee there’s a big sizable amount of the population that likes things that are different.
they also serve no day to day or purpose really. they hold the stuff. missing one is conversational item at most, and the cancer word would cause instant ‘apologetic’ response. nobody will truly care, if they do…well bullet saved.
imo, it’s no different then wearing glasses, or being bald, or missing a finger.
The conversational element is fun. Cancer jokes are hilarious, plus they can catch people way off guard
Cancer jokes take time to grow on people.
They make prosthetic ball’s that can be inserted easily.
Yes they do, and I considered. However, my doctor gave me the pros and cons. I made the decision not to get one because of potential complications. With any prosthetic, scar tissue can become a serious problem. My doc said she removes more implants that she puts in. I decided it would be easier not to get one. I do think about that decision occasionally and wonder if it was correct.
So do I just, like, stuff it in there or … ?
It’s a surgical thing but I believe easy to get done.
I know, I was just amused by the word “inserted.” Thanks though!
Essentially, yeah. No testicular torsion!

A person is much more than having one vs. two balls. You have a scar and a story to tell, which is far more interesting than having 2 balls.
Not to suggest you should surprise a partner with it, but I likely wouldn’t notice until I got up in there unless the scar was a lot more noticeable than you’re describing.
Knowing about it would probably make me a little more hesitant about how I was playing with someone’s sack but it wouldn’t be a reason not to go to bed with a potential partner.
Obviously, asking on Lemmy has a bit of respondent error involved but I don’t think you should feel self-conscious about it.
Thanks! I would definitely tell someone beforehand. I enjoy telling the story because there were some comedic elements to the whole ordeal. The scar is healed nicely barely noticeable unless I shave around it. It’s also laparoscopic so its on my lower abdomen, not in a conspicuous spot.
It would be startling at first, then no, I wouldn’t care. Not looking for any more kids, lol. You have the same amount of feeling as you did with two, right?
I do not imagine this would reach deal breaker territory for many.
Doctor said I can still have kids. Im not sure how to describe how the feelings changed. On one hand, touching my ball feels mostly the same. The intensity of that touch is the same.But theres just less ball to be touched, so less feeling?? Imagine you touch your right toe, you won’t feel that touch on your left toe. I just don’t feel a second ball there anymore. It’s like nothing was ever there (except for loose skin on the sack)
Non-issue from my perspective. A heads up is courteous though
Tom Green, is that you? All joking aside, I can’t imagine it being a turn-off. Any potential partner is more likely to be fascinated by it. Then again, i’m a straight guy so my view probably ain’t worth as much.
I would hope my partner finds it interesting in a good way
Depends on the person you meet. There is no general answer.
