Not paranoid…: This is for protection from temperature and trauma. 2 types of muscle allow the testicles to move up or down--cremaster muscles (voluntary) and dartos muscle (involuntary). These muscles allow the testicles to retract toward the body when cold (to protect sperm) or at threat of trauma--touching inner thigh can cause testicles to move in direction away from your hand--a way to protect from threats.

Sexuality Anxiety: I understand your distress. Please do not be embarrassed about your concerns, feel good that you are expressing. Be comfortable about your sexuality; accept yourself as you are at this time. Let Wise man within you guide you to observe that testicles are NOT ALWAYS moving ; how much time and energy is spent in thinking and feeling paranoid. See Psychiatrist for Therapy for sexuality, self-esteem
