This is just speculation, but I suspect your husband was tortured during the Korean war via the infamous “lee-chee” treatment.
This was a treatment in which small electric jolts were applied to the scrotum while showing re-runs of baywatch, thus creating a sexual arousal pathway due to scratching balls.
When I was single, I masturbated up to 5 times a day, often because I was simply bored. Once I was married I stopped masturbating except for those rare occassions when I simply wanted to know if I still could. Its like it takes forever though to comeplete.
For some reason, I slightly doubt that a prudish, shrewlike wife would use the expression “jacking off”.
It’s pretty common to get an erection while sleeping or when dozing off or waking up, no ball scratching required. Guys can get erections without being conventionally horny. I can see why it might be annoying that he’s being cagey about it, but he may just be sensitive about it and that prevents him from thinking about it rationally. The worst thing you can do is pester him about it or turn it into an issue. Not everything needs to be analyzed or examined. It’s a private thing for him so just leave it alone. If your sex life is waning, bring that up as its own issue and leave the ball scratching out of it.
It might be safer to assume that the question “Can doing X result in an erection?” is “yes”, for any X.
Guys get hard all the time and they beat off ALL THE TIME.
Even when my wife and I were first married and were doing it like 3 times a day I still beat my dick like it owed me money. For some guys the more we get the more we want.
It is like riding a bike.
Except that you can ride a bike with no hands.
:eek:
Not sure why this would bother you… it’s not like he is getting aroused by another person that isn’t you… I honestly do believe that if you touch in the general vicinity of the nether regions, it does contribute to an erection, and scratching would be no different.
A passing breeze can give me an erection. Of course, I’m a good deal younger than your husband.
Frankly, I don’t believe anything in the OP. It indicates insensitivity, mistrust, paranoia, lack of communication, and the strange expectation of “sense” and “logic” in non-sentient body parts . . . all in a marriage only a few months old. And nobody that ignorant of sexuality would speak so freely of sexual topics and terminology. The entire post challenges credibility.
I’m alarmed at pretty much everything in this post. Also, my balls are literally starting to itch. Should I be worried about getting an erection?
Only if you’re married to an insufferable, illogical weirdo.
The OP seems to be a one-off. As it were.
As long as he stops at scratching his own balls.
Threads about un-sanctioned erections? That’s a new one on me!
I suggest that you make a list of exactly which circumstances he is allowed to have an erection, and perhaps have him sign an application form in triplicate for any non-pre-approved erectile event.
Maybe with a normal itch. I’m a sweaty fat bastard in the tropics, I’ve had to scratch mine much longer than that. And no, it wasn’t masturbation related.
It it completely possible for him to be scratching himself at night and not realize it. Some people talk, move and -hell- even walk in their sleep so why not scratch?
I remember one time during college I was barely conscious -mostly asleep- and my inner thigh itched like crazy. I started scratching it like a madman even though I was barely even aware I was doing it. It was only when I saw my roommate staring at me that I became more awake and noticed what I was doing.
His balls itch. Give him a break. You sound too paranoid and I’d be freaked out if I was your husband.
^^^^^
This.
Scratching could absolutely result in an erection with me.
