I recently had blue balls, blue balls so bad that I could t sleep. I looked up methods and nothing worked. However, ejaculating is supposed to work and help it (obviously). So I did that, I didn’t do it to porn just to help the pain. Should I consider this a relapse or a slip up or neither? P.S I’ve been trying to do my best on semen retention and this was the first mistake, so Ik that’s different from NoFap but I guess keep that in mind for the answers if any.
If you do get blue balls, bathe in warm water. Don't relapse over something like this again. It is avoidable at every step.
Correct. Warm water will exacerbate the vasocongestion in the testicles. Wrap ice with a towel or cloth and hold to the balls. Or you can dangle your balls in cold water.
