The best temperature for growing sperm is a little COOLER than body temperature. That's why the scrotum and testicles hang (unprotected!) outside the body. So if you wear tight pants and lots of warm trousers you won't have as many sperm as a Scot who wears nothing under his kilt.
The testicles drop into the scrotum because the body is too warm to make sperm optimally. The scrotum allows the body to regulate the temperature of the testicles a few degrees below that of the body temperature.
In Puberty and beyond :
They drop away from the body to be at the right temperature. The sperm needs to be at the correct temperature to stay healthy.

In Babies :
They descend into the scrotum shortly after birth (Balls drop) not at Puberty as many believe. If they have not visibly dropped into the scrotum by several months after birth then a visit to the doctor is advisable to make sure all is ok with the childs health.

∙ 13y agoAnatomically the expression refers to the male testes (balls) which are not usually present in the scrotum (bag) at birth but are retracted into spaces at the base of the penis. This is true of mammals other than humans as well.
In any case, when a boy reaches puberty, the balls will drop more or less permanently into the scrotum and the boy has then "become a man". They can still retract into the spaces at either side of the scrotum and might do so when taking a dip in a cold swimming pool, or during periods of fear or imminent danger to the lower area, or even after a particularly invigorating sexual activity.
Anyway, it figuratively means the boy has become a man. Don't take it too seriously.
