The blood that flow through the skin and subcutaneous area controls our body temperature.

Body temperature is governed by the hypothalamus, a very small organ near the base of the brain. Perspiration is the secondary cooling control, that works evaporatively to keep the body temperature from getting too high.

Why is it necessary for the testes to be kept above body temperature?

The testicles are outside of the body for temperature control. The sperm develop best when the temperature is lower than the body temperature. If the testicles were kept at body temperature, the sperm would not develop correctly. The body has an ingenious temperature control mechanism, as well, for the testicles. If it is too hot for them, they descend and hang further away from the body. If it is too cold for them, they come up closer to the body!
