Edging and Blue Balls

 

"My nuts ached so bad I actually went the er only to be told it was a simple case of blue balls. The doctor told me to go home and jack off and don't wait so long between ejaculations. I like to edge because it gives me better orgasms. Is there a way to do that without my nuts aching?"

Blue Balls, or Epidydimal Hypertension, is a build-up of blood in the testicles caused by long periods of arousal without having an orgasm. It causes the balls to ache and a blue tint. Thus the name. According to the article "Edging: Definition, Benefits, and More" at Medical News Today:

"Edging is unlikely to have harmful side effects and will not cause any ejaculation problems. Edging rarely leads to epididymal hypertension, or 'blue balls.'"

It could be that you're causing slight testicular trauma by stroking so vigorously that your balls get bounced around and jostled a bit too much. Slow down the pounding a bit.

Their further article "Everything You Need to Know About Edging" over at Medical News Today indicates it can actually provide some benefit.

"Edging involves sexual stimulation and stopping just before the point of orgasm. Edging aims to extend a person’s sexual enjoyment for longer periods. It may also intensify the experience. It is possible to perform edging alone or with others. Anyone might engage in edging, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. It involves stimulation to the point, or edge, of orgasm. People will stop just before the edge and take a small break from stimulation. Edging can involve repeating this cycle several times. Both males and females might use edging as a way to avoid premature ejaculation."

If you enjoy edging but the prolonged arousal is causing your balls to ache, might I suggest employing your morning wood for that? Keep up the stimulation throughout your morning routine, right up to the point of pulling on your briefs. But don't cum.

Then use your evening time in much the same fashion by working up and enjoying a good strong boner but then allowing yourself to cum just before you sleep. It should result in the kind of explosive ejaculations you're seeking.

And bonus: It'll help you sleep better.

Just Like When You Cum

 

"I seem to remember you writing that you are able to jerk off even though you have ed because of your illness. Is that true that you can cum without a hardon? I can't seem to and my nuts ache something awful."

I think any guy can relate to what's commonly called Blue Balls, and I know from experience how downright painful it can be. The sensation of fullness can get to be overwhelming.

Yes, it most certainly is possible to masturbate. Yes, you can cum. It takes patience, though. The cock is very slow to respond and it's best to concentrate your stimulation efforts on the most sensitive spots: The head, 

and the Frenulum - that little stretch of skin on the underside of the shaft just below the head.

A semi-hardon is what you'll be dealing with. 

Allow it to rest against your abdomen and use your fingertips to glide over and around the upper half - a sort of frottage with yourself. 

I find that lube helps.

You can squeeze the very base of the shaft to increase the hardness.

The interesting part is that the closer you get to orgasm, the harder you'll get. Just before I cum I've achieved a full boner.

Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work right away. Practice makes perfect.

In the meantime, you can help relieve the aching balls which is caused by a build-up of blood and fluid in the groin  called vasocongestion. Years ago Men's Health magazine suggested a couple of solutions to Blue Balls when ejaculation is not possible. Lean against a wall with your body at an approximate 45-degree angle. Pushing away - a form of push-ups, I guess -

will place pressure in the groin and help the fluid to drain. All you want is to feel tension in the groin. Once the blood and fluid have been released the pain will subside.

Yep, just like everything down there tenses and tightens up when you cum.

In the meantime, enjoy the weekend by trying.

A Mystery

 

"I'd be interested to see what you can find about this subject, and I'm guessing Whack Attack readers might, too. I always get helpful info here from you and fellow readers.

I've heard men express that they're horny or need to ejaculate by saying that their "balls are full". But that's not a thing, is it?

I understand the feelings of urgency and need and sexual desire. I know what it's like to go past that point and have "blue balls" when the testicles ache. But does cum really collect in the balls or the ballsack? It seems like semen would build up in the prostate, and sperm cells in the testes. Do the balls fill up? What do you think this means?"

I have to admit, it's a medical mystery. All kinds of articles about Blue Balls, about ejaculation, about prostate, about balls in general. But none seem to tell us if "full balls" is literally correct.

Testicles produce about 1500 sperm per second. Seminal fluid provides those new sperm cells with nutrients until they are fully mature (have developed the head and complete motility) and are ready to be expelled. The process can take anywhere from 64 - 72 days. Sperm is moved out of the testicles and into the Epididymis as the Cremaster Muscles squeeze down on and lift the balls during ejaculation.

So, is it possible that if a guy doesn't cum that the sperm cells can build up in the balls and that they can get full? While I can't find any medical article addressing this, I would think so. I would think that the heavy sensation we have when we feel "horny" is the balls telling us it's time to move things along. That's where guys get the "My balls are full."

But that's complete conjecture on my part.

Morning Blue Balls

"Why do my nuts ache first thing in the morning? It clears up after a while, but it’s very uncomfortable for an hour or two."

It could be one of two things: Sleep position, or arousal. Or even a combination of both. If you are a side/stomach sleeper, you might be placing body weight on your balls.

Before you go to sleep, pull the boys out from under you.

If you experience a prolonged erection, the lengthy arousal will cause the normal fluid build-up that is associated with vasocongestion, or what is commonly known as Blue Balls. Particularly if your dream turns sexual, which can increase the arousal. If you don’t ejaculate (have a wet dream), the vascular congestion isn’t released and you wake with aching balls.

As you’ve noted, the ache relieves itself after a while, because your physical movement is helping to push the fluid out. 

The only way to reduce the congestion immediately is to either exercise

Or cum.
