I think some of you are kinda shooting at the wrong angle. Sure, the scrotum is just the name for a human body part, and should not be considered something "bad". However, one could really question why, of all body parts, the author decided to use that one? To teach them the name of part of a male genetalia?
Is it wrong? No. But you can't say that the author didn't stop to think about choosing this body part for a specific reason. Wether it be defiant against the more conservative type person, or any other reason for that matter. If you ask me, it would be just as popular a book if the author had just went with a leg or something. This is just asking for trouble.
