Testes 

The testes are part of the male reproductive organs and are where the sperm is produced.

Spermatogenesis takes place at a lower temperature than regular body temperature which is why the testes are outside the body surrounded by a pouch of skin which is called the scrotum. This regulates the tempterature and keeps it at the optimum.
