Brief Answer:
Could be due to cremasteric muscles contracting.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details provided by you. It seems that you are getting spasm of the cremasteric muscles and the smooth muscles related to the testicles. It could be related to some electrolyte imbalance that is common in such an age. I would suggest you to:
1. Use T-Bandage to support your scrotum.
2. Wear loose clothes.
3. Take juicy fruits including citrus fruits, and bananas. They contain plenty of potassium, the deficiency of which could be a cause.
4. Get your blood electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca++ i.e. sodium, potassium and calcium) tested. You may post the results so that I can comment on them further.

I understand that it probably feels awkward but it is probably nothing to worry about if you are otherwise doing fine.

Hope that helps.
