Why do guys scratch their balls in front of a girl?

do they do it intentionally to grab attention? is it cause the girl is like one of the guys to him?

i understand they itch but can there be any other reason why a guy would specifically do it numerous times around one girl?

  • You know what, there's no reason a guy has to scratch down there in front of a girl unless he has some medical or vd problem that causes an itch he can hardly stand. In that case he'd try to do it in the least noticeable way, like use the restroom if at all possible or to the side not facing her. Otherwise he'd either have some medication to reduce the itch or he'd stay out of those situations until it's more controllable. There's no normal itch that would be so bad that the guy would HAVE to be scratching in front of a girl. He would be able to move aside or whatever to get more out of sight. So that leaves the guys that do that wanting a girl to notice because it turns them on by making them think about their stuff. It's a weird way to get attention. It's almost never just because they just HAVE to scratch right then unless they have absolutely no self control over anything. Scratch yourself anywhere else in front of girls = OK, but not down there. That's common sense.

    • thank you! yea that's what I suspected because he did it numerous times in one day while we were having a deep conversation about important stuff...like if it happens once then its like oh he just had a bad itch but he did it like 4 times! while I was talking face to face

    • but if he wanted me to notice his area...do you think its cause he's attracted to me, or cause he was just making me feel like one of the guys? like a friend?

    • I'm sure he wasn't doing it to make you feel like one of the guys... like a friend. That just wouldn't be the way to make a girl feel like that. It's just plain crude. I don't actually think he has any kind of an itch unless it's an itch to get you to give him a bj or a hj. Like if he gets your attention down there he might be able to get you to do it. Too bad you just can't ask him what's the problem is down there OTHER than that he has an itchy problem. lol! Thanks for BA. :)

  • Most guys get itchy down there and just do it without thinking, some may do it to draw attention but mostly we just don't think of it, I have seen many women adjust their knickers due to them being uncomfortable, they may not know someone is looking but some do adjust, just human nature.

  • I once read that guys subconsciously touch their lower area around girls to kind of say "I'm a virile, fertile, robust male." Maybe that has something to do with it? Girls often touch their neck, collar bones, etc., which gives similar attention to their upper feminine bits.

    • thats what I was thinking...

  • I know right! My math professor did it once in front of the whole class... I mean really? Why do it in public?

    Girls itch too, doesn't mean we have to itch ourselves down there. ya nasties!

  • um...its itchy?

    =)

    • i totally get that, but if he keeps doing it around the same girl? any meaning behind it?

  • It must be an involuntary actions. Or it must be that he's really comfortable around the girl so he just have to do it because it really itches.

  • Is there a reason women pull out underwear that has ridden up their butt in front of everyone?

    • or maybe he's allergic to you?

  • I don't think anyone is getting offended. It just seems like you're not satisfied with the answers that you're getting, that it's pretty much because the area just itches and not because of liking a girl. There are only so many ways to answer the question.

  • He might just be subconsciously trying to draw attention to that area.

  • IMO, Girls get jealous because they don't have any to scratch, that's why they rub their eyes

  • Good question. It's gross.

  • No, there's absolutely no reason for a guy to scratch himself outside of him itching. It has nothing to do with a girl. Sometimes things just get real itchy down there.

  • Guys aren't complicated. Balls itch-> scratching, sometimes completely oblivious of it

    • i totally get that, but if he keeps doing it around the same girl? any meaning behind it?

    • Like djvtech said it could be a subconscious male habit of drawing attention, but I can't see any conscious reason behind it.

  • Because they itch lol

    • i totally get that, but if he keeps doing it around the same girl? any meaning behind it?
