I'm only 5 days in after my relapse. Is this what they call 'blue balls'? Because I've never experienced this before.
Yeah, this is caused by an increase in blood pressure in and around the testicles. It usually occurs when you have been fantasizing about sex, the body sends extra blood to the area, but then you do not have sex or masturbate. Try and get better thought control and replace sexy thoughts and images in your mind. Do not massage your balls! Dangle your plums in cold water or take a totally cold shower and direct the cold water onto them for a couple of minutes. That should normalise the blood pressure. It feels very uncomfortable, but it will go. Just don't masturbate. Read the explanations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasocongestion & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_balls.
Someone should pin this... In the past 12 hours since I've joined this site I've seen more questions regarding blue balls than I have ever encountered in my life. Thank you for the insight.
Thanks mate. I have edited the post and added a couple of references. That should give you all you need to know.
I had this exact same thing. After a few days of not masturbating or looking at anything arousing I got intensely horny and started fantasising a lot (my body’s way of making up for no external stimulation I guess). I did my best to reign in my thoughts but I still ended up getting hard on and off from what I was thinking about, and of course with no MO to release that pressure it just stuck around. After several hours of this my balls and the area at the base of my penis were super achy and tender, and I even began to get a little scared because I could feel something that felt like lumps that weren’t there before. In the end I dunked my balls in some cold water and left them like that for a while. It didn’t remove the ache but it helped reduce it. And once I was able to distract myself and stop thinking all these dirty thoughts, the tenderness gradually subsided. The lumps disappeared too; I guess they were just swollen tubes.
i have the same thing , and , i am just in the second day of my relapse , every time that i can break my record this appear , and the hurt is horrible, i dont know how i can dicrease the hurt when i will be in the University
Cold Showers and Meditation. Cold showers can help to decrease arousal, and daily meditation, over time, will help you learn to redirect your thoughts so you don't get aroused as easily. Do not repress your thoughts or feelings; acknowledge them and accept them, then return to your breathing. Continue taking cold showers and meditating every day, and you will eventually be able to control your urges.
That is generally true. But usually, what happens is that even though not masturbating, a person can indulge in sexual fantasies. This is often the reason for aching in the base of the penis and in the testicles. So keep your minds clean.
I had it before nofap, when I had sex for over an hour but could not orgasm (numbed from porn/deathgrip). As the others described, it hurts and probably comes from the pressure building up when there is no relieve. So better no dirty thoughts, porn, sex or other forms of arousal when you don´t want to orgasm.
Yes. But remember it is blood pressure building up, not from too many sperm in your nuts or from semen pressure.
Well, first it hurts, but if you dont give up it willgo away, you will feel a urge, but not pain. Look what you are eating, omega 3, l tryptophan and vitamin d helps to increase more serotonin, so that the libido sinks and the pain is less.
