Scrotum

The scrotum is a little pouch at the base of and below the penis in boys and men?. The scrotum is part of the genitals of a boy or man and is a private part?. It contains the testes and the epididymis?. Sperm are created and stored inside the scrotum. The scrotum has some pubic hair on it. The scrotum is outside of the body because sperm need a lower body temperature to grow.

It is normal for the scrotum to be itchy throughout the day. Try not to itch in public. It's difficult to itch the scrotum because it's loose skin. Most people find a little pinch-and-twist helps, but it's also possible to stretch-and-itch the skin, too.
