Guys, do blue balls really hurt?

When my guy gets turned on and I'm not in the mood or I'm resisting a bit, he winces in pain sometimes. I ask what's wrong and he says "blue balls". Really? I didn't know it actually hurt! Is it him just trying anything to get laid, or does it really hurt? What does it feel like?

  • if it's genuine blue balls, then yes, it HURTS!
    Try giving him a swat in the balls, like you're swatting away a fly or something. That's how bad it is when you move and put pressure on the balls (normally you don't feel anything). Oh, by the way, don't do that irl, it hurts.

    But he must seriously get blue balls fast if that's all it takes. Also keep in mind that blue balls (vascocongestion) doesn't necesarily litterally make his balls blue, so taking a look isn't conclusive evidence unless they're actually blueish (in that case it's legit blue balls).

    So it could be, and it does hurt

  • As a guy who used to frequent a 'gentlemans club' I'll tell you that it never hurt that bad, its just very uncomfortable.

  • No it doesn't hurt. Unless you guys were dry humping and that got him close to an orgasm (which can happen), then it hurts cause obviously he won't wanna cum in his pants lol

  • I've never had it. And even if it's legit, you have the right to stop when you're uncomfortable. It isn't your job to give him sexual favors just to keep him from having pain.

  • for me it hurts if we had been making out for a long time and m exited to the point of having those 1-2 precum drops and then if due to some reason i have to quit it all and be somewhere. then it would hurt after some time. it hurts bad for me, but i have noticed m also hungry at those times when it hurts lol.
    everyone's body can be different so what can i say.

  • Lol. He is full of crap.

    It just means you are in the mood and can't get relief. A cold shower or a little time does the trick. You aren't hurting. Lol.

  • It is real but it requires a lot of stimulation. It isn't just something where the guy gets an erection and it goes away and there's pain. If that was the case every guy in math class would be on the floor. It's moreso a case of being extremely turned on from actual sexual activities and stopping before being able to climax. If you were rubbing his crotch and whatnot and he didn't get to finish he can get the case that way.

  • I served onboard a ship in the US Navy. There was an electrician that I knew in passing that had a bout of blue balls. We were underway at the time, so he went to see the ships doctor to see what could be done to deal with the pain. Mind you, this was an all male crew of 600. He was on his own. The doctor told him he needed to masturbate. This made the electrician frustrated and angry. You see, he prided himself in not masturbating. If I remember correctly, the pain in his testicles overcame the blow to his pride. He took matters in hand and relieved himself of the pain.

    • what a great story, i feel like that would make for a really good sea shanty

    • Yeah ! more Navy guys in here!!

  • What blue balls feel like: first your balls get really sensitive to the touch and they feel kind of hard and the pain is unbareable I don't know how to describe the pain for a female I'd guess it'll be like getting kicked in the vagina for 30 minutes straight, hope this helps

  • Pretty convinced that blue balls is a load of bollocks. Wincing in pain? Naaah. Surely not.

  • Not really pain, just an incredible urge that is not getting met.

  • It can ache. In my experience it doesn't happen right away. Maybe 20 or 30 minutes or more.
