What about testicles outside the body? Every man has a painful story why it’s not a good idea..

I read this does have a functional reason: Sperm cells have to be kept at slightly lower temperature than the body temperature, so if the testicles were inside the body, the sperm wouldn't survive.

Of course you could ask why sperm is so temperature sensitive in the first place...
