Blue balls

Hey folks, this newbie has another question.

I’ve been stretching and doing wet jelqs for a couple of weeks now. I have always had a health erection response. When I jelq I often go from semi to fully erect. I simply wait it out a few minutes, maybe soak in some warm water while it dies down a bit. The issue is that I find I get the old blue balls, since I don’t masturbate afterwards (on the advice of this forum, I suppose to help keep the blood in there).

Does anyone else get this? Any good advice?

Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with masturbating afterward; it effects nothing. Just one of many myths. Also, you are using the terminology incorrectly in your reference to “blue balls.” You should not be experiencing any severe discomfort, you are just experiencing a repressed yearning. Blue balls will adhere you to the ceiling, on second thought maybe you are at a level of “first degree blue balls.”

There’s a lot of information here and it’s hard to decide what’s necessary reading but at least try to get through the links in the start here thread, like question 17 here:

The most often asked and annoying questions!

Up until about 5 years ago I would get “Blue Balls” or “Lover’s Nuts” quite frequently. It seems that now I seldom get them any more. I do edge frequently. In fact everyday after I do my PE reoutine.

Thanks for the feedback. In my short experience I have decided it’s better to leave some time before ejaculating after a workout. I definitely notice deflation afterwards. I guess I’ll have to get used to it until I don’t get it anymore, like Restored91.
