∙ 12y agoThis will depend on what clothing is worn. Someone who is wearing underwear and long pants outside on a 95 degree day will have a higher scrotum temperature than someone with boxers and shorts on the same 95 degree day. The human body was never designed to wear clothing at all or we wouldn't have sweat glands wear the sun don't shine.
To find out what temp they should be, one should measure the temperature of various mens scrotums at a nudist resort on a 85 degree day. That said, my best guess is 96 degrees fahrenheit... The scrotum retracts when the testis are too cold and extend when too warm.
