Question

what r they and how and why does it happen

Answer 1

The main cause of blue balls is prolonged sexual stimulation of the erect penis, either by direct or indirect contact, that does not result in orgasm and ejaculation.

During arousal in a sexually mature male, the sympathetic nervous system decreases its inputs to the genital tissues, resulting in increased blood flow to the testicles and prostate areas. As this happens, other fluid outflow muscles constrict, causing more bodily fluid to enter the area than leave, ensuring a high enough regional blood pressure to allow a sustained erection for penetration during sexual intercourse.

If orgasm is not achieved, blood and lymphatic fluid tend to pool, and the blood becomes oxygen deprived. In some men, this pooling of oxygen-starved blood may result in a bluish tint to the scrotum.

Men with priapism or orchalgia may experience an extreme, prolonged form of blue balls, which may require medical attention.

Treatment
The easiest way to relieve the symptoms of blue balls is through an orgasm either by masturbation or sexual intercourse. The resultant ejaculation jump-starts the sympathetic nervous system, which increases blood flow through the groin area, dissipating the fluid buildup. Even without orgasm, the symptoms of blue balls usually subside within an hour of onset, but the symptoms can also last much longer. A review of the medical literature by Chalett and Nerenberg in 2000 found little formal data regarding the condition but concluded that "the treatment is sexual release, or perhaps straining to move a very heavy object — in essence doing a Valsalva maneuver." Simply lying down can also sometimes help the pain associated with blue balls.

One folk remedy for blue balls is the cold shower. Putting cold substances (such as ice) on the crotch region significantly helps. One source [1] states that "the cool water of the shower would stimulate new warm blood to the scrotum," but local cooling might instead work by causing arterioles in the scrotal skin to constrict, thus decreasing blood flow to those tissues and allowing fluid to leave the congested areas. Also, physical exercise like walking, climbing stairs etc, can ease the engorgement. Sometimes drugs containing pseudoephedrine can help quicken the process; however, availability of medicine containing pseudoephedrine is limited in some countries. Analgesics do not generally help as they do not involve prostaglandins.

Answer 2

Blue balls is a slang term for a temporary fluid congestion in the testicles and prostate region caused by prolonged sexual arousal in the human male. It is most commonly associated with adolescents but can occur in any sexually mature male. It is often accompanied by a cramp-like ache of prostatic congestion and pain/tenderness of the testes.

Answer 3

Round things about the color of the sky. Sometimes they bounce. Sometimes they just hit the ground and make a loud noise. They're fun to play with.

Answer 4

ok so blueballs is when you are like not releasing any of your sperm... your sperm dont ever get any excitement so they get really sad and decide to hit their heads into the walls of their living quarters (THE TESTICLES) and then it really hurts because all of the spermies are angry and start a war with the testicles etc...

It is when you are about to shoot and then you stop. It is a tightening of the ball. Let's just say it hurts, like someone is strangling it.

It happens right when you are about to ejaculate and then you stop.

usually associated with a vulgar remark or an inappropriate touch somewhere on a womans body

Answer 9

Blue Balls is a build up of semen in the testicles, it happens when you are aroused and do not ejaculate. This can be painful and very uncomfortable.

Well..it's kind of a tongue in cheek way of saying you didn't get sexual satisfaction when you were hoping for it..so you have that frustrated..backed up kinda feeling.
