Evolution selected for men with two. Other than the general fact that humans have "bilateral symmetry" in which a lot of features on one side are mirrored on the other, it helps to have redundant systems. If men mostly only had one and something caused it to fail before they have kids, their genetic line ends. Someone with two might still be able to reproduce if one malfunctioned, or if both are somewhat low-functioning on their own.
