Men: do you think some men use having “blue balls” as a way to guilt trip or is it really that painful?

  • Listen.. despite all the silliness around this topic, “blue balls” is actually a real thing. And every guy experiences it differently. For some it is only a mild discomfort. For others it can be quite painful. The pain/discomfort level also depends on how far along into sexual arousal the guy is at the moment things are cut short. What happens physiologically is that the sexual act has progressed to the point where his prostate is primed for the forceful emission of a significant amount of semen, and his testicles are poised for the powerful release of millions and millions of spermatozoa. When the male body reaches that point and the sexual activity is suddenly halted, the buildup of semen and sperm doesn’t get released, which can result in a great deal of pressure being experienced in the testicles and prostate, a. k. a. “blue balls”. So, to answer your question... sure some guys may indeed lay the guilt on a gal for stopping and causing him to have “blue balls”, but the truth is, it is real, and it can be quite painful!

  • More of a guilt trip but I would not disregard it... I mean blue balls is a thing and its uncomfortable... but you just masturbate and lessen the impacts of not having real sex. Honestly I have never had blue balls. I have heard guys complain about it, buts more about not getting laid than and the mental anguish over wanting real live sex, than actually suffering from any physical pain.

    So its more about the mental torment of not having sex, when you really want it badly from a person that is not up to your speed or sexual apatite. So if you have a guy complaining of getting blue balls don't just disregard it as bull shit, he wants more sex, and sex is very important to men when you talk about relationships. If he is complaining then you either need to step up to the plate more often or end the relationship because its more than likely not heading in a good direction.

  • It's just a guilt trip. If it really bothered him. He could go to the bathroom and take care of it in a few minutes.

  • Yes, and yes. Usually it's nothing more than mild discomfort, but it's a very real phenomenon, and in extreme cases, can be debilitatingly painful. But unless he's in traction, or has no arms, or is otherwise unable to masturbate, it's something he can easily handle himself, and you're usually going to hear about it when he's trying to guilt you into having sex with him.

  • It hurts pretty bad. It's not like getting kicked in the balls or anything, but it's not a pleasant sensation at all.

  • While it is actually a real thing, it's medical name is epididymal hypertension which is a swelling of the testicles due to a prolonged period of arousal without ejaculation, there is no reason for a guy to use it to guilt trip a girl into sex. The condition goes away eirher once arousal has subsided or he ejaculates and he can do that via masturbation, it doesn't require sex.
    Nobody should ever be guilting someone into sex.

  • "Blue balls" is two things together.
    *Congestion of the prostate which makes it feel like you have ab egg in there. This comes from a long period of arousal and is relieved instantly by ejaculation.
    *Strain on the Vas Deferens from the natural pulling up of the testicles during arousal and from being bounced around during sex or a handjob. They will remain sore for a while.

    No reason for a guilt trip.

  • ANY man that says blue balls is painful is a liar. Only thing that hurts is the fact you didn't finish which is purely mental. Any dude that voted yes on the pain option should look at my banner and internalize it

  • they use the word wrong. what they say blue balls is, is not actually blue balls. they are just horny. having blue balls is a different sensation all together. women can have it too by the way

  • It's a guilt trip.

    First of all.. it takes hours of edging to get blue balled.

    Second of all.. it's more annoying than outright painful.

  • I've' never experienced it.

  • I think it's probably both.

  • I’m sure some men do. Of course they do. After all “Rationalization is the second strongest human drive.”
    Many men feel they always have to be in control. They have to be number one, so they will go to great lengths to do that. I call that being a Narcissist.

  • The pain can be pretty severe but it is pretty much guilt tripping because you could just jerk off and get rid of it.

  • For me personally, it never really hurts, they may be slightly more sensitive and swollen. I'm more overwhelmingly horny, that I need release.

  • No such thing as blue balls so yes it’s a trap

  • blue balls hurts. aching pain. only way to release... orgasm

  • It's not painful 😅 That's a stupid excuse for thirsty men 🙈

  • it is uncomfortable and usually used to guilt trip in my opinion

  • both

  • Nah. It's like a dull pain. Certainly uncomfortable and frustrating, like having your balls flicked, but not world-ending. I'd rather not have blue balls, sure, but it's nothing to freak out over. Certainly most guys use it as a guilt trip.

  • Maybe some men don't as indicated in the comments, but it is documented real and it is very uncomfortable and can be painful.
