Attention all males!! I just heard this story from a close family friend and I need to remind you don't wear skinny jeans!  My friend's brother-in-law has lost a testicle and has to have it removed in the next few days.  He's 13 and has a dead testicle.  According to my research, this can happen to guys from the ages of 12 or 13 to the 20's and 30's.  If it can happen to some kid than it can happen to you. Also one thing that I wanted to point out is that the skinny jean issue is mainly (but not totally) about pressure and contortion.  I haven't even touched on the importence of keeping your testicles cool!

    This actually reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a kid.
I was riding in the car with my mother and the sun had come out.  I couldn't find my sun glasses so I grabbed her spare.  She then said "Are you sure you are okay with those girly glasses?  We can see if there is another pair some where in here."  I then preceded to say "I would rather have on these girly sun glasses than burn my retina!"  She then laughed.

   Our bodies are more important than fashion!  Please learn to dress in other ways and stop this trend.   A young man has lost a testicle because of peer pressure and clothing styles.  How sad is that?  Let's move on from this and be fashionable in other ways and leave skinny jeans to women.
