RETIRED: Mal and Paint's *Official* Chat Thread: Hey Ref, get your old, wrinkly butt back in here!!

You learned wrong. It's caused by vasocongestion in the testicles or prostate. It's very real. The color doesn't really occur, but the symptoms do.

I think someone has an obsession with sesame street characters...

So is DH lying or not?

Blue balls is the slang term for a congested prostate or vasocongestion, the condition of temporary fluid congestion in the testicles and prostate region caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male. It is often accompanied by a cramp-like ache of prostatic congestion and pain/tenderness or edema of the testes, and is misconceptionally believed to have the symptom of a blue tinged scrotum (from the notion that blue equals pain, as in a bruise or black eye, which can also appear blue). Weinzimer and Thornton suggested calling it "epididymal hypertension".

Lack of orgasm

The condition can be caused by sexual stimulation of the erect penis (intentional or unintentional) that does not result in orgasm and ejaculation. This can, in some circumstances, be a consensual sexual act as part of erotic sexual denial.
During sexual arousal in a male, the parasympathetic nervous system increases its inputs to the genital tissues, resulting in decreased blood flow to the testicles and prostate areas. As this happens, other fluid outflow muscles loosen, causing less bodily fluid to leave the area than enters, ensuring a high enough regional blood pressure to allow a sustained erection for penetration during sexual intercourse. Erection occurs with the parasympathetic nervous system's local release of nitric oxide, causing relaxation of the smooth muscles in the arteries of the corpus cavernosum and resulting in blood engorgement.
If orgasm is not achieved, blood and lymphatic fluid tend to pool, and the blood becomes oxygen-deprived. The technical term for this is vasocongestion.
Some men may deprive themselves of an orgasm purposely to prolong sexual activity. Their sexual partner may also request that they refrain from ejaculation for a longer period to increase their duration of sex. If this is the case, massaging the testicles or using a vibrator on the testicles during the prolonged sexual activity may prevent the blood from pooling and actually prevent or decrease the severity of blue balls.

From wikipedia:



So it sounds like if a guy gets aroused and doesn't get his "happy ending," this is when it occurs.

I don't think it's from long periods of going without sex. Some men go their whole lives without sex and don't seem to have a problem.

So is DH lying or not?

Unfortunately, no.

How I wish it didn't exist...

Yeah, it's from extended blood storage in the crotch area. Similar to priapism, but with the balls.

Lies ALL Lies

"Do your balls hang low? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?"

But it's just a cramping - it's not going to kill you.


What our professor said also that men should not use this condition to pressure women into sex.

So don't let DH pressure you!



But you'll live - it's just a cramp.

You forgot "do they wobble to and fro" after the "hang low" part.
