Blue Balls Sh!t

This week, we talked about whether blue balls are a real thing or not. Spoiler alert: they are! There is even a medical term for them. It is epididymal hypertension and the symptoms are scrotal pain or a feeling of heaviness after sustained sexual arousal without orgasm and ejaculation. The truth, though, is that it is not as painful as some may make it out to be. In fact, blue balls have often been used to manipulate someone into having sex with you. Not cool.

We all need to be responsible for respecting our partners. We need the standard to be continuous, enthusiastic consent for sexual activities, not abusive coercion. And that is exactly what bullying or blaming someone for your lack of sexual gratification is: it is preying on someone’s sympathy and weaponizing your biology against them. Cut it out. Just go jerk off and let that be that. What do you all think? Is this a soapbox that we can all stand on or am I way off base here?
