I was having what can only be called 'chicken balls' for lunch, when for some reason it occurred to me that you never see a (male) bird's testes. I have noticed that their penises only emerge on certain opportune occasions, but as far as I know we (male) mammals have testes because semen/sperm cannot survive long in the warmth of our (ahem) body cavities. So,since birds are also warm-blooded, how is it that their testicles are not for all the world to see like a mammals?
Good for the Gander? Avian Nuts - Where Are They?
- Thread starter Epictetus
- Start date
Roosters do have "balls"...They are just tucked in...(internal)
Why nature designed them that way, hell, I dunno.:shrug:
'Course they do. I had'em for lunch. My question is how can they be tucked in? Wouldn't the semen get overheated and become ineffective?
One idea is that they have a higher tolerance for heat.
Mammals are the johnny come lately's. We evolved the trait of lowered testicles, but the birds, descendents of the dinosaurs, have older genes and are a separate branch from us and evolved a different way of handling that problem back when they were dino's. The birds of today have an older solution than we have and their branch diverged from our branch long before they were birds and we were mammals.
Their ballses have an intricate network of blood vessels. Some think this acts as a cooling system.
But apparently, no one knows. I got this information from a bird breeder. And it may be out of date.

Well, this is just a guess, mind you...
But, I'm kinda guessing that if you were around a bunch of bitchy hens all day, you want your guys hidden as well.
You've heard the term "hen pecked". yes?
"johnny come lately's!?" - an unfortunate choice of words
But I see what you mean. And it is widely held nowadays that dinos were in fact warm-blooded. It's funny mammals didn't think to descend from dinosaurs too. It would have avoided a lot of excess baggage. I mean, it is unfortunate that we diverged so early that we missed - I don't know if it should be called an evolutionary advantage, but it would have been kind of cool to have internal nuts and a retractable penis. Why. we'd all probably dress like Porky Pig, having no real need for modesty down that way.

OK, that's porn...I'm reporting...
Hmm, guess I really can't, Porky has no genitalia...geez, that's gotta suck.
Oh! This reminds me of a Lewis Carrol poem, that I actually know by heart, and it describes our forum rather to a T:
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
"To talk of many things:

Pay attention Gremmie! His equipment is internalized. Porky Pig is a actually a bird.
Are ya sure that's a male?...
I could swear I dated this "pig" a few years ago...
I seem to remember those hindquarters...

The testicles of the last Banty rooster I butchered - he was sacrificed for being a nuisance, territorial about the front yard to the point that the wife of the couple was wary of walking out of her own front door (I used to just punt him like a football) - were each larger than his heart and brain combined.
Now, we know what he really meant by, "Th-th-th that's all, folks!"
Sense you added a pig to this topic, you should know they have the longest orgasm of any animal at least 30 minutes. Once that fact is known amongst a group of men being asked if the could come as any kind of animal what would it be. The pig was a popular choice.
For me personally I'm not sure I could take it at my age now.

Geez, I'm not sure the if my ticker could've taken that, when I was in my prime...
Be a helluva way to go though...

Dunno about you but I'd still have to wear a turtle neck, or people'd think I'm wearing a purple necktie.

Maybe this is related to the swine's corkscrew-shaped member...? Half the fun is getting (er, coming) there.

But what if formal dress is required?
