I should have clarified that I've never used an ice bath for my legs.
However, I regularly stick my head in an ice bath (about 35 minutes using a snorkel) and I've found 40 degrees to be the best temperature.

I find 40 to be too cold...it was actually my feet that came out looking a little blue, so if I go that low, i use these aqua socks our training room has to keep the extremeties warmer...45-50 has been the best for me. I usually just stand in the water up about 3/4 of my quad to avoid dipping my junk.

So if I turn on the water in my tub on just cold water and fill it up. Then i put on my bathing suit (protect my boys) and sit in it for 15-20 minutes. Then drain the tub and take a 5 minute warm shower I'll be set???
I think you're forgetting the ICE.
i have no clue on this subject and have never taken an ice bath but am seriously considering. I am extremely worried though as i have heard that it f***s up your nuts and could send your balls flying way out of place. I'd love to take ice baths but definitly not at the risk having children. Anybody that could help me out with real proof would be greatly appreciated.
