DIY SEX: EARLY TO BED

By Sex Lady Searah (2004 July-Aug)

Ah, blue ballsblue balls. As a girlgirl, I grew up thinking that blue ballsblue balls were nothing more than a sad excuse for guys to pressure girls into having sexnothing more than a sad excuse for guys to pressure girls into having sex— ’’Gome on baby, you got me all turned on, now you have to fuck menow you have to fuck me or I’ll get blue ballsblue balls. ” I figured it was just some made-up term for sexual frustration. Then I became a dyke and I never thought about them again until I got this letter. So I did a little research and, with some help from the good people of scarleteen.com, I now know that it is indeed a real condition, albeit not a very serious one.

The technical term for blue ballsblue balls is vasocongestion and it works like this: When a man becomes aroused, the arteries carrying blood to the genitalgenital area enlarge, while the veins carrying blood away from the genital area become more constricted than they are when you aren’t turned on. This causes an increase in the amount of blood trapped in the penis and testiclespenis and testicles, which in turn helps you to get your nice, stiff erection and swollen balls.erection and swollen balls. When you have an orgasmorgasm, the arteries and veins return to their normal size. If you don’t have an orgasmorgasm, that blood can get trapped in there and can lead to an achy, sometimes painful feeling in the testicles. The term "blue balls” comes from the bluish tint that nutsnuts can take on when they are engorged. This pain, however, can usually be easily eradicated by masturbatingmasturbating (when’s the last time someone prescribed that for pain?) or, some say, by taking a cold shower or exercising. Obviously, this condition is never an excuse to try and talk anyone into touching your dick if they don't want to.this condition is never an excuse to try and talk anyone into touching your dick if they don't want to. You are at absolutely no risk for any damage to your cockcock and, from what I gather, most guys can easily make themselves come in a matter of minutes, so you shouldn’t have to suffer for too long.so you shouldn’t have to suffer for too long

That said, pain in your cock, balls, pussy,cock, balls, pussy, or abdomen can be a sign of something more serious, so if you have these kinds of symptoms at times other than when you have been turned on and not had an orgasmorgasm, go see your doctor just to be sure.
