  • Holy moses blue balls IS A REAL THING, it's honest to god PAINFUL as HELL.

    Let me tell you how it works. It's when you are aroused by a *real person* for some reason, such as most likely your girlfriend, after doing stuff that would arouse you, which can be anything from touching her to her touching you, I dunno. But the more you do that, the more aroused you can get. And when you get really aroused but get no release of any kind, then your lower half of the belly starts hurting, and I don't remember if the balls hurt but the distress in the belly is annoying. Obviously it doesn't mean you necessarily need *sex* to remedy that, you just need sexual release which you can do with your hands, but DAMN after you have blue balls and you masturbate, at the actual ejaculation is the most painful part, it's an intense amount of pain and you stay gradually weakeningly sore for the next 2 hours.

    It's not the "being deprived of sex", it's the "being aroused too much without sexual release", because your body loves to sabotage you in the weirdest of ways. But that hasn't happened to me without actively doing something that would arouse me past the "limit" which would cause pain.

    I haven't been kicked in the balls in quite a while though, but I'm guessing that is worse.

  • What exactly happens when a guy gets blue balls? Or is this just a myth?

    Blue balls are not just a figment of a male's imagination or
    a lame excuse to try and get you in the sack. Though it doesn't
    happen to all men, it is a very real condition that results from a
    prolonged state of sexual arousal. When a guy is physically turned on,
    blood flows to his penis, which is what gives him an erection, and his
    testicles, causing them to swell. If he doesn't ejaculate, there is a buildup
    of pressure, and his supersensitive balls feel the brunt of it. The sensation
    can range from a mild ache to worse-than-getting-kicked-in-the-crotch pain.
    But the bottom line is, it's not dangerous, and he can deal with it, whether
    that means giving himself a helping hand or just waiting it out. The blood will
    eventually drain, and any discomfort will disappear on its own.

    In case you were wondering, it's called blue balls because the blood
    that's been in the scrotum for a while loses oxygen and can give the
    appearance of a bluish tinge -- although it sounds like something guys
    came up with to express just how sad they are that they can't cum!

  • I think you misunderstood the whole idea of "blue balls".

    Blue balls is when you stimulate a guy close to the point of orgasm but then don't finish him and leave him without orgasm.

    Now that's obviously a very furstrating experience, but the question is whether it really makes their balls actually hurt. The answer is - it can, but not necessarily. If it does actually cause pain in the balls, it's due to temporarily congestion of fluid.

    Either way, actual pain or just plain sexual frustration, the solution is easy - just ejaculate. (And no, it doesn't have to be the girl to make him ejaculate in order for him to get rid of the pain.)

    • what hurts when stimulated too much with no release is the prostate gland, and the pain can radiate through the scrotum and even to the back. Again a girl need not give up intercourse to save this poor miscreant. She can tell him to go whack off and bring her a soda when he comes back.

    • Nice to see a girl explain it so well, and would upset @Roarke too if I could, both good answers

    • Sheez let me take a night out on the town and the whole damn place becomes an urology seminar. At least we seem to agree on the constant that this hypothetical specimen should just whack off and stop blaming his woman on what is no worse than a shitcramp.

  • It's not a real thing. My boyfriend explained it. He's like guys get random bonkers all the time and for long amount of time. It doesn't hurt and eventually it goes away. Guys only say that to pressure girls into giving them "relief". It's no big deal and never do things unless both of you want to

    • What he described is not blue balls.

  • My bf and I have stopped mid sex right before he would've come, and no blue-balls. Other times we've just been making out and had to stop, and 20 min later he's cringing... dicks...

  • Blue balls is very real. However it is not the fact of not getting sex. It is when we are led to believe we are going to get sex IE teased alot. Then we dont get it. As we come down from that built up tention that is does hurt. Once the hurting starts it takes a while for it to stop. This is the main reason most guys really can not stand being teased and then not finish what you started. So blue balls is not about having sex as much as it is being teased to much.

    • Best answer, I have nothing to add now

    • Thanks, that clears it up. And explains how really mean I was some times I was just trying to be sexy. Sorry balls.

    • Basically, if she's being a tease, then decides, eh, I'm not going to give it to you, just because I wanted to feel attractive, that's called blue balling

  • Would it change anything, for you, one way or the other? Not meaning to sound like an a$$, but just wondering if knowing he was in physical pain would change your perspective.

    • I can see how it might for some girls who don't want to see boys get hurt. When I was younger I was sadistic towards boys. I would have laughed and kept teasing him.

  • Ouch

  • No lol it doesn't hurt in the balls , it hurts in the DICK.
    It should be named.. Blue Dick cos going erect for longer than an hour ish really start to get sore , and it'll burn a bit when you pee later on too lol

    Luckily for most guys , a quick thought of Mother Theresa is an instant boner removal tool.

    • That's what I was wondering. But maybe it IS the balls for some and not others?

    • well you can't have a boner in your balls... so I don't know , not for me at least.

  • It's real, but rare, at least for me it's been rare. I've only seriously had it a few times in my life.

    One of them it was really bad, like couldn't walk properly, hard to stand straight.

    And masturbating will get rid of it, though a partner's help would have been appreciated, since trying to jerk off while in agony is not the hottest experience there is.

    It's a crampy feeling through the whole groin area.

  • blue balls is a myth, usually used to guilt a girl into sex... i have chosen for some time to live a celibate lifestyle because it actually ENHANCES overall feelings of pleasure.

    • When I was a kid an told by an older woman told me it was a lie guys told girls to get sympathy sex.

  • Yeah it's a real shitty excuse to guilt trip a girl into sleeping with you.

  • No, this is bullshit. I've never bad blue balls.

  • Yes it is a real thing, but he can EASILY fix it himself and it also wears off on its own after a while and doesn't hurt him at all.

    No I don't think its like getting hit in the balls.

  • real but rare, u can lose your mind with desire get really frustrated angry overly emotional etc u can always be horney etc, blood constantly rushing into your penis which makes it bigger and darker, but blue no unless u have a priapism.

  • Yes in fact it is a real thing, ask a dr. They will tell you it is a build up of pressure from unsatisfied arousal, often resulting in mild pain. So don't start something if you are not going to see it through

  • In my experience it's a myth.. I've never been in pain from not having sex or not getting release while aroused.

  • It makes really. We use our hands if we want to walk somewhere without girls

  • Yeah I had it once and it was a ache that lasted like an hour :/ not fun

  • Yes very painful

  • If you get turned on for a long time and you dont ejectate It hurts my dick😭

  • yeah sometimes

  • Yes it happens. But not from just going without. It only happens when you're overly aroused, for a long period of time, without Cummings.

    It hurts a lot but nowhere near as much as getting kicked in the balls.

  • "It happens" Trolls team all of you xD

  • It's different from getting kicked in the balls. It's a longer lasting ache. You get it if you go without a level of arousal that you've had recently, that's when you might get it. Single guys either masturbate or don't. Either way, they are probably getting the same amount of arousal that they're used to.
