testicles
This term is the precise anatomical designation for the male gonads. In medical and scientific registers, it is the standard term used to describe these organs without emotional or social bias.
In casual or colloquial speech, the word is often replaced by slang terms, as the formal anatomical term can feel overly clinical or stark in non-medical settings. It is almost always used in the plural since mammals typically possess two.
