The science behind Blue Balls and managing your manhood
Pain is subjective, but I believe most men will agree that the condition colloquially known as ‘Blue Balls’ is up there in terms of agony. So what exactly are blue balls? I’m sure glad you asked. Let’s take a dive into the deep waters of the male testes and see if we can’t find a medical explanation.
According to Medical News Today, Epididymal Hypertension is in fact a real condition that refers to painful/aching testicles. Anecdotal evidence has shown that aching can be caused by blood building up during arousal, yet no orgasm being reached.
So blood is literally causing your balls to swell and no climax is being achieved. Fun stuff.
