For symmetry and as insurance, and because women have two ovaries.

Because "scratching your nut" or "kick in the nut" doesn't sound right...

I suppose they are ET's.

But in general, my theory goes along with the evolution theory.
Before the advent of barbed wire fences, we only used to have only one big testicle. After numerious accidents, a portion of the male poplulation began evolving with a spare.
Then, after the Ford motor company started, the testicle of males from Ford driving heritage began evolving smaller and became insufficient.
So nowadays, nearly all males are born with two, but driving a Holden can increase their size significantly.
