Answer

It's an idiom about male genitals.. Basically she's telling him to be a man.

Answer

She's telling him that he has no balls (a way to say he has no courage, because men are who courageus have big testicles apparently, maybe it has to do with bulls). So if he has no balls, she suggests that he needs to use prostethic testicles to act like a man.

Friends is a 'sitcom', maybe you mean 'the tv series Friends'
