    The average person has less than one testicle

        For various reasons, yes, many are missing one or more testicles

        I’d say testicular cancer and castration, voluntary or not, account for many of that number

          Right, but is it more than 2 missing testicles per 102 men? Because that’s what it would take to make the average less than one

              What numbers, because while it’s not exactly easy to google for, the numbers I’m seeing don’t line up with that. Undescended testicles are relatively common, but that’s fixable by surgery and they aren’t missing, while testicular cancer, surgical castration (not chemical), and transgender surgeries all seem to account for far less than 1% of the population.
