    Ibuprofen, cold shower, and a long walk to get the blood flowing away. Ice packs aren't a great idea, as there can be a temptation to stimulate yourself with it! That's how I lost my last streak. :emoji_flushed:

    Thank you so much brother. I'll try all of those... but however i have a doubt about cold showers. Supposedly cold itself makes vasoconstriction (that is, narrowing of the blood vessels, difficulting the blood flow through the body). On the other hand, heat itself makes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels, helping the blood flow through the body). So if you wanna help the blood flow in your testicles, shouldn't we use warm showers instead?
     
  4. You forget the part where once you are out of the cold shower, your blood vessels widen greater than before, to allow more blood reach the cold areas, helping to filter the body and skin. There is more scientific terminology involved, but that is what I believe happens in layman's terms.

    Well, I think all your extremities will be competing for blood about the same, and since you made the blood leave in the first place, it should come back with relatively normal blood flow. In my experience, my body ends up feeling kind of warm, but it doesn't cause a bunch of blood flow to the genitals, so it improves the situation if I had blue balls before, at least for me. While there might be a bit higher than normal blood flow after a cold shower, it's not as bad a blue balls! Plus, it's fresh oxygenated blood, so it won't hurt as much.
