A childhood belief about rude bits

I used to believe, until I was about 13, that a guys 'nuts' were like actual nuts (similar to walnuts or something)... hard brown brittle things that weren't really connected to the guys body, just hanging loose. It made perfect sense to me, because I figured that the reason guys went into so much pain if you hit them 'there', is because the nuts could 'crack open'.

Even seeing biology textbooks at secondary school didn't change my view, because they just showed the balls as pale brown round circles in cross-section diagrams!

Even now, in the back of my mind, I still think of guys having brittle walnut-like things...
