Answer:
Your body is equipped with something called homeostasis. Homeostasis is your body's compensation tool. It controls heart rate, breathing and all other body functions. It also controls body temperature. It helps keep the body at its luke warm 98.6 degrees. That's where the answer to your question come into play. When you get cold, your body start to shiver in order to create energy and warmth. When your genitals get cold , like when you get into cold water or just being out in cold weather, your body's homeostatic capabilities draws in your testes and penis closer to the body so that they can warm back up to body temperature.
The glands must close up and tighten together.
Their trying to huddle up and stay warm.
They are pulling back into your body for warmth.
ER tech is right the reason they get smaller is to warm them up using the heat released by the body core. The only thing is that in the case of the testicles the ideal temperature is not body temperature but 5 degrees below for ideal sperm production. The principals apply correctly though.
