that is the mantra all sport enthusiasts live by ( except golfers) but this is extreme.

The flesh around that area perhaps but all the wedding tackle components dissapear into the warm core area of the body in extreme cold or swimming for example.
I would become a Eunoch when running in winter, it was embarassing when I had to stop for a pee because I had to first find it and then winkle it out against strong resistance.
When I was at Bergerac recently working, living and sleeping outside (unheated caravan) in the sub zero weather I could not find my gonads for a week, eventually I was concerned that they had withered away and died, they only made a reappearance when I got the heating working.
I had a similar experience to the skier with my nose and cheeks driving from the New Forest on Boxing in a 7 without a windscreen, I had lost all feeling and stopped under a flyover less than 5 miles from my house to thaw them out, the pain was incredible, it was the beginning of Frostbite.
You certainly dont want a bite with frostbite and I believe that nature guards against this.

Ah yes 'Arctic Willy'! Well known and quite well documented from members (no pun intended) of 45 Commando Royal Marines to Ran Fiennes and David Niven.

Sumo comes to mind. I always thought that sumo wrestlers had good control of their gonads. Seems like I got the wrong end of the stick. www.pnas.org/content/103/37/13728
