Smaller testicles make more loving dads: study

It’s a whole new ballgame.

Men with smaller testicles tend to be better, more loving dads, according to a manhood-measuring study by Emory University anthropologists.

Researchers studied brain activity of men when they were shown pictures of their young children.

Men with bigger testicles and higher testosterone levels didn’t score as highly as their smaller counterparts in brain activity that’s associated with love and nurturing behavior.

Researchers stopped short of giving the shaft to all well-endowed dads.

“I wouldn’t want to say that men with large testes are always bad fathers,” said the study’s lead author James Rilling, “but our data show a tendency for them to be less involved in things like changing diapers, bathing children, preparing meals, taking them to the doctor and things like that.”
