Blue balls are the more common term for a condition that is actually very common among men and occurs during arousal. Known medically as vasocongestion, the condition refers to the appearance of the male genitals as they fill with blood and increase in size upon arousal. This condition also results in increased sensation to the genitals and is usually only reduced upon ejaculation. Though the condition is only temporary, it is often very uncomfortable for the person who is experiencing it and often sexual intercourse is the desired way to deal with it. Intercourse may not always be possible, nor is it necessary to deal with blue balls, but it does allow for a way to achieve ejaculation. Upon ejaculation the male genitals will return to their normal size and all feelings of discomfort will have disappeared. As long as there is still blood entering the genitals and causing an erection, there will be feelings of discomfort, heaviness and aching in the testicles. The extra blood rushing into the testicles causes the blood vessels lining the skin to become more noticeable which gives them a bluish color and the condition its name. The condition does not usually last very long, and even without any interference the extra blood that has rushed into the penis and testicles will drain on its own, reducing an erection. In the past, blue balls have been incorrectly used to describe a man’s inability to achieve ejaculation, but the term was both misused and misunderstood. In reality, blue balls are the point after erection and before ejaculation, whether a man decides to act on the erection that he has achieved is an entirely different issue. Men who experience blue balls are perfectly healthy and the condition is nothing to be ashamed of or hide from people. It is actually a very normal occurrence and illustrates your ability to achieve erection in anticipation of ejaculating. While this medical condition is very normal, many men nevertheless are made very uncomfortable by it and feel that it is not normal or that sex needs to occur to correct it. Perhaps it is because of the social references that have been made to the condition, but mates should never be made to feel pressured into sex by their partner because of the condition. |
