Blue Balls - Myth Or Fact?

							     Blue Balls - Myth Or Fact?
After a heated session which does not culminate in a release of pressure, so to speak, men will
often complain about pain in the pelvic region and sac which they attribute to a condition
commonly referred to as "blue balls." While men will tell anyone who will listen about how
uncomfortable this problem can be, women often dismiss the issue, seeing it as nothing more
than an excuse or a way to pressure a partner into going further than she would necessarily
prefer. However, there may be more truth behind this mysterious problem than women
understand; and men can learn a thing or two about male organ care and comfort, as well.

Blue balls - fact or fiction?

Actually, no matter how much it sounds like an excuse to get her to go all the way, there is a
degree of physiological truth behind this fabled problem. When a man becomes aroused, the
blood vessels leading to the male organ become enlarged, allowing for increased blood flow. On
the other hand, the blood vessels leading away from the pelvic area become constricted, limiting
the amount of blood that can flow back into the body. The increased amount of blood in the area
correspondingly increases the size of the male organ and surrounding area, sometimes by as
much as twenty-five percent. This, of course, is necessary for firmness to take place. But once
the act is complete, the hormones that are released signal everything to return to normal.
However, when a man is excited but does not achieve release, this can result in a feeling of
heaviness in the pelvic region which is familiarly described as blue balls - or more scientifically,
as vasocongestion.

Now that that part is straightened out, it’s time to talk about what this does not mean. Many a
female has heard a guy complain that he is in pain and that he "needs" coupling to relieve it. This
is not, of course, an excuse to pressure a woman, since guys are well-equipped and well-versed
in the means to relieve the pressure themselves. Some of the things that will not happen as a
result of blue balls are as follows:

• Severe, disabling pain - Medically, blue balls have been determined to cause mild to moderate
discomfort - an ache or sensation of heaviness or fullness in the nether regions. However, this
sensation should not deter a man from going about his normal activities, or from driving home.

• Permanent injury - Even without release, the fact is that after a time, the blood vessels of the
male organ will relax and everything will return to normal. No permanent damage has ever been
reported as a result of vasocongestion.
Preventing blue balls and maintaining a healthy male organ

Men have generally been socialized to believe that whenever they become aroused, they need to
finish the act to relieve the pressure. While this release does resolve the problem, it can be taken
care of easily through manual stimulation, thus easing the discomfort caused by prolonged
engorgement. At the same time, there is no need to be concerned about permanent damage, as
the problem will generally resolve on its own. In the meantime, supporting optimum circulatory
function through use of a male organ health formula (health professionals recommend Man
1 Man Oil) containing vitamin C (needed for healthy circulatory tissue) and L-arginine (an
amino acid which works to relax the blood vessels) can help to maintain overall male organ
health and keep the juices flowing. In addition, all-natural moisturizers such as shea butter and
vitamin E can keep the skin well-lubricated, ensuring that whether the pressure is relieved
manually or with a partner, the skin feels soft and supple and is resistant to chafing and irritation.
