THE HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE – DIRTY JOKES 3
If a man does not have sex frequently, in which he has orgasms and ejaculates regularly, his testicles will become swollen with unreleased sperms and will ache intolerably (in America this condition is called ‘blue balls’) This male-oriented myth is untrue on two counts. First, the sperms only form a small proportion of the semen, most of which is composed of secretions from the prostate gland. When sperms are formed and not ejaculated, sperm production slows down and no increased tension occurs in the testicles. Moreover, men who have had a vasectomy do not get painful testicles. Any pain a man feels in his testicles, if he does not ejaculate often, is due to psychological, not to physical, factors.
It is true that if a man is stimulated and stays in the plateau phase of sexual arousal for a long period of time vasocongestion of his testicles will occur, and their size can increase by as much as 75 per cent. In this situation the man may get testicular pain, which is relieved by orgasm. This is a normal sexual response and is not to be confused with the mythical ‘blue balls’ which is said to occur if a man does not have sex often.
The second count on which the myth is untrue is that if a man feels the psychosomatic testicular pain from insufficient sex, he can masturbate to orgasm. He does not need to have sexual intercourse.
