Blue balls is a slang term[1] for the condition of temporary fluid congestion (vasocongestion) in the testicles and prostate region, sometimes accompanied by acute testicular pain,[2] caused by prolonged and unsatisfied sexual arousal in the human male.[3] The term is thought to have originated in the United States, first appearing in 1916.[4] Some urologists call the condition "epididymal hypertension". Only a select amount of males have the condition; it is not a universal condition among males.[5]

Research

Although widely discussed, there has been scant information in the medical research literature[6] until an article by Chalett and Nerenberg in Pediatrics 2000 which found little formal data regarding the condition but concluded that "the treatment is sexual release, or perhaps straining to move a very heavy object—in essence doing a Valsalva maneuver."[7]
