Testicles as a navigation aid
Yes, really. Free-swinging testicles are particularly good at detecting ocean swells, and were relied on by Polynesian navigators. Just ran across this interesting fact in the book Civilizations by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, and confirmed it online here: https://www.passengerplanet.com/softwarm.html.
One of the more obscure advantages of going naked, for sure. And a lesson in how much we lose by training ourselves to cover and, mostly, disregard, most of the body.

RE: Testicles as a navigation aid VS uterus as a finder of lost objects
There may be something to this. I remember Roseanne Barr wondering inf the uterus was an organ for finding lost objects. As I recall she was commenting on her husband frequently asking "honey, where did I leave my car keys?"
