I had it once in college. Painful for a few hours, then when I had an opportunity to relieve myself the pain went away. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Troy McClure SF \* > \*\*Girls, has a guy told you he had blue balls? How did you react? \*\* OK, I have an update that can help answer this half of the question. I mentioned that “y’know, when I left here last night I was kind of hurting.” She picked up on it right away, and brightly chirped , “Oh, I’m sorry.” To which I mumbled something inane like, “Thassalright, it’s not your fault.” An even brighter, more chirpier “Oh yes it is” and then a collapse into gales of giggles. So the answer is, they think it’s funny. Of course, that didn’t stop us from eventually providing me with a brand new set of 'em. I’ll never learn. ---

well as far as i know i ain’t responsible for any. like belladonna says, could just be my, eh, “personality”. but then anything that’s going to leave him hanging is probably going to do the same for me (i come pretty easily, thank all that is holy) so i’d be quite likely to be the one suggesting a mutually satisfactory ending. ---

Haven’t had the, um, pleasure. Apparently it has been no great loss. ---

How timely: the latest issue of _Playboy_ contains the following question and answer in the “Playboy Advisor” column: > [@](#): > > Q: Guys get blue balls. What do girls get? > > A: They get laid. ---

I always thought that blue balls was from ejaculating TOO much, not enough… theres this guy at school, (strangely, no one knows his exact name… hes just “theres this guy”) Well anyways, apparently he got bored one day and jacked off 8 times, and the mre tactless poeple say that he got blue balls because of it. That hasn’t been used on me before… and if it was, it wouldn’t be satisfaction they’ed be getting, let me tell you… ---

Nah, **Magic8ball** , that wouldn’t result in blue balls in the same sense as discussed in this thread. It’d chafe his unit, that’s for sure, and I wouldn’t be surprised if his balls hurt just from shooting so much. > [@](#): > > _straykat23_ > Uh…ever heard of blue clit? Actually, no. I know of the frustration that ensues when not satisfied, but I never encountered anything like that, not that I know of, at least.
