What happens to a mans balls when he is turned on?

I have seen my boyfriend both soft and hard, when he is soft his balls seem larger and they hang. However I gave him head for the first time yesterday and seen his balls seemed smaller, tighter and closer to his body. Is that normal? What does it mean?

  • The skin of the genitals is a combination of both skin and (Dartos) muscle that work together to tighten the skin, or relax it depending on the stimulation at the moment.
    This muscle is what causes the genital skin to 'writhe' and move on its own when you watch it.
    It is also the muscle that contracts, or relaxes this skin in responses to heat, cold, fear, sexual arousal, etc.
    If the temperature is cold, the sperm in the testes would die if not kept warm. The Dartos Muscle causes the scrotal skin to constrict and pull the testes up to the warmth of the body to preserve the life of the sperm. If it is too hot, the sperm could also die, so the Dartos Muscle relaxes the scrotal skin to allow the testes to hang away from the heat of the body.
    During periods of fear, the testes are drawn up to the body to prevent damage during the 'fight of flight' response.
    During the period of sexual activity, the scrotal skin is drawn up to the body to prevent injury to the testes during intercourse.
    Hope this helped

    • Creamasteric muscules contract pulling up testes

  • Yep--that's normal. It's not that they get smaller when you turn him on. Actually, the opposite is true. Just as blood does to his dick when you stimulate him, his balls will get lots of bloodflow and will turn his jizz production into overdrive which will further expand them. The reason they may appear smaller than when he's soft is they'll also pull up closer to his body. The hotter you make a guy and the closer he gets to cumming, the tighter his balls will be. That gets them in prime position for the cum shot. So it's also a good way to gauge how close your guy is to blowing that load you get churning in his balls!

    How was the head, by the way? Did you get him to shoot?

    • Yes I did make him cum, we usually touch each other, he gives me oral and then we have sex but I said I wanted to try giving him a blowjob. I had tried before but after he's made me cum he's always too horny and just wants to have sex lol. But yesterday I insisted and I gave him it and he said he loved it, he ended up getting it three times in one day lol. He said it was amazing and he came within about 5 minutes. I loved it and it turned me on so much!

    • Oh wow! That sounds all kinds of hot! :D I'd love to hear more about it! Let me know if you want to chat and you can friend me.

  • The skin tightens around them because the shaft grows when erect. It's really just common sense.

  • It's normal prior to ejaculation, it's an arousal reflex. If you want to slow him down take your index and thumb wrap around his scrotum and pull down gently this will make him last longer

  • As a guy gets more and more aroused the balls draw up more closely to his body. This is a really good way to tell if he's about to cum 'cause when he's almost there they'll be really tight against his body. There are these muscles inside his groin and scrotum that raise and lower the balls depending on temperature and sexual arousal. Kind of amazing.

  • His balls will pull closer to him as he gets close to orgasm. That happens to most men.

  • Yes, it is common for our balls to "tighten up" and move closer to the cock when we are getting our dick sucked. It means he is excited by your mouth and that his balls are ready to release his sperm into your mouth. It is a good thing :)

  • well if he gets hard, a lot of skin is pulled up so they look smaller xD also if it´s cool, they pull up into the body to compensate for it. it means nothing.

  • they get emptied eventually.

  • They tighten up the closer to orgasm

  • they tend to tighten up, they are getting ready to cum

  • During erecting balls become tighter is normal, specially during the climax time but its not necessary, balls more work with weather as they need more cold temperature, during a cold temperature they shrink and in warm temperature they hang and hang very low.

  • it is normal because when the penis is hard, it pulls the skin up

  • Nothing happens to balls.
