Beneath the external spermatic fascia is the cremasteric fascia, which is composed of a double layer of areolar and elastic tissue that encloses a thin layer of striatic muscle. The cremasteric fascia is a continuation of the internal oblique fascia and occasionally contains a few fibers from the transversus abdominus muscle. It is the cremasteric fascia that is responsible for the retraction of the testicles, protecting them from trauma and stimuli such as cold through the cremasteric reflex.
