Blue balls
Blue balls is slang for the condition of temporary fluid congestion in the testicles accompanied by testicular pain, caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male without ejaculation. The term is thought to have originated in the United States, first appearing in 1916. Some urologists call this condition "epididymal hypertension".Research
The condition is sometimes associated with certain demographics, such as men who are experiencing delayed ejaculation or inhibited ejaculation.
Although the condition has been widely discussed, there is scant information in the research literature. A brief article by Chalett and Nerenberg in Pediatrics agrees that little formal data exists regarding the condition. The article concludes that "he treatment is sexual release, or perhaps straining to move a very heavy object—in essence doing a Valsalva maneuver."
