Just in case you didn’t know, the cremaster is a set of muscles in the male that raises and lowers the testes with the change in temperature outside.

Well, it’s an interesting thing that happens in the way that (the cremaster) responds to temperature or fear, and around that time I was making these pieces which dealt with temperature--walk-in refrigerators in which vaseline was cast in a particular form that was held in place by temperature.
