Testicles

yeah, they are hardish and should be relativly smooth , as long as there aren't any lumps on them you should be fine

Well, not hard like a stone, but firm when you touch them. So not like a rock, but more like a firm grape. You should do a TSE (Testicular Self Examination) at least once a month to check for signs of cancer. It could save your life! Its quick and easy, and kindda feels good anyway To do a TSE, when you get out of the shower (you want the scrotum to be warm and low hanging so you can feel the testicles easier), place each testicle between your index finger and thumb (do one side at a time of course), and move the tesicle between your finger and thumb over the entire surface of the testicle, searching for any hard lumps. The surface should be smooth and firm, with the exception of the backside and top and bottom of the testicle, where you will find a kind of squishy bump, which is your epidydimis (a bunch of coiled tubes that collect and store the sperm from the testicles), which is supposed to be there. What you're looking for are HARD pea sized bumps or lumps on the surface of the testicle. Those should not be there. Hope this helps.
