The author evaluates a group of 96 patients treated on account of malignant tumours of the testicle. From the psychosocial aspect it may be assumed that no change in the relationship with the partner occurred, the marital bond was rather reinforced, the percentage of failing marriages is substantially lower than in the normal population. Of 96 men where inquiries were made during the investigation period of 1-15 years only two men were divorced. As regards sexual life no problems arose. In the foreground is inadequate ejaculation of seminal fluid mentioned practically by 50% of the patients where inquiries were made. This is associated with impossibility of conception. Inferiority complexes are not frequent, 81.2% of the men do not suffer from inferiority complexes and the remaining 18% suffer from an inferiority complex associated with the loss of the testicle or inadequate ejaculation of semen.
