Blue balls

---

what do people mean when they say "blue balls"? and whats the "stopand go" method? that's usually mentioned with the blue balls

Many urologists believe that extended tumescence without orgasm can cause congestive prostatitis, an extremely painful condition of the prostate gland. Among other things, the prostate gland secretes the clear fluid which is the vehicle for the sperm in male ejaculate. When not in a state of sexual excitement, a normal male's prostate will cook up about one-tenth to four-tenths of a teaspoon of prostatic fluid a day. This ordinarily drains into the urinary tract and gets excreted. During periods of sexual arousal, however, the prostate kicks into overdrive, churning out 4 to 10 times as much fluid as usual--far too much, some say, to pass into the urine quickly. If the man fails to have an orgasm, the stuff backs up in the prostate and causes congestion. In younger men this is often characterized by pain in the pelvic area and painful and swollen testicles. The usual treatment is continence, perhaps accompanied by ice-packs.

oh ok thanksanything on thr "stop and go" method?

S&G is as it sounds. Masterbate until you nearly cum, then stop for a bit to cool down and then continue. It prolongs the session and usually results in a bigger orgasm. It can, however, cause blue balls at times, even after you finally cum.

Actually, unsupervised, I don't mean to break balls here (no pun intended ) but a couple of things you mentioned are a little bit off:In reply to:Many urologists believe that extended tumescence without orgasm can cause congestive prostatitis, an extremely painful condition of the prostate gland.Yes, but that's not blue balls though. That's congestive prostatitis, which is different. Blue balls refers to an aching pain in the testis themselves, not the prostate. Blue balls is caused by vascular congestion in and around the testis, caused by prolonged arousal without orgasm. During extreme arousal, extra blood flows into the scrotum and into the testis. Normally during orgasm and after, this extra blood dissipates and leaves the area quickly. However, if you maintain extreme arousal, like during edging, and don't orgasm, the extra blood tends to remain in the scrotum and testis for several hours, and the extra blood pressure in the area causes the dull aching feeling, characteristic of blue balls. In fact, the actual name of "blue balls" comes from the visual veins of extra blood in the scrotum looking blue, although unless you have a large varicocele, your balls won't actually look blue. In reply to:Among other things, the prostate gland secretes the clear fluid which is the vehicle for the sperm in male ejaculate.Actually, prostate fluid is whitish and cloudy. It's the seminal vesicle fluid that is mostly clear, and its the combination of prostate fluid and seminal vesicle fluid that is the vehicle for sperm in male ejaculate. Prostate fluid only makes up about 40% of semen by volume. The rest is mostly seminal vesicle fluid and sperm.

well la-de-da!ok, but seriously, I know that congestive prostatitis is more than a simple case of blue balls, I just wanted to draw the dotted line between the two. However, I must say that when I get blue balls, the discomfort goes all the way through to my prostate.

Lol. Everybody hates blue balls. They really are so painful that you will feel helpless because it's somehow an embarrassing experience. Try to master self-control though. .

Alex, Welcome to A2A. Yes! I have to agree, that the imfamous Blue Balls can be and are quite painful. I would suggest finding some "personal time" and take matters into your own hand and releive yourself before they get to that point.Moving forward, there are many, many topics on this board. try to look at the top right cornor of the post to see when it was posted.
