Each testicle is connected to a muscle called the cremaster, and that can cause it to shift its position in the scrotum.
They move up and down because sperm can only grow at a very precise temperature, which is slightly below body temp. They move up when cold to keep close to that temp but, if you are warm they descend to get away from your body heat to keep the temp lower.

What does it mean if the testicles do not move when you cough?

If the testicles do not move when you cough, it may indicate an absence of the cremasteric reflex, which normally causes the testicles to ascend in response to coughing or other stimuli. This could be a sign of a potential underlying issue, such as nerve damage or an anatomical problem. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation to determine if there are any concerns that need to be addressed.

Do your testicles move on their own?

Yes, the cremaster muscle moves the scrotum and thus the testicles up and down, according to temperature. The testicles are free hanging, so they can move back and forth within the scrotum too.


How and why earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
