What is the "blue ball scratch" and what is "7 year itch"?

Just saw Full Metal Jacket and the thought crossed my mind.

According to my husband "blue balls" are when a man is sexually aroused then frustrated. "7 year itch" is a term used when one partner in a marriage finds an "outside interest", usually at 7 years - which at one time was the average length of a marriage.

blue ball scratch means jerking off and the 7 year itch (now proven to occur in 5 years) is when a person in a couple "falls out of love". Most people who experience this stay in the relationship just for the companionship or the kids.
