The sperm and testosterone production occurs there.

No, unless the testosterone levels being produced are real low.

Those whose testicles have ebbed in testosterone production or whom have
lost both testicles to lets say cancer or some other reason, have to take
hormone supplements in order to maintain masculine male traits and libido.


From the Testicles, Sperm is sent up through tubes called the Vas Deferens
(analogous to your fallopian tubes) The vas deferens are what they snip
when a man gets a vasectomy. Anyway just before ejaculation sperm flows
through the vas deferns up to the protate, where it gets mixed in with the
semen the gland produces, the semen provides energy for the sperm cells and
helps mitigate the acidic environment that is encountered in the vagina. At
ejaculation the whole load is dumped into the Uretha, the rest you should
know.. :)
