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 often accompanied by a cramp-like ache of prostatic congestion and pain/tenderness of the testes
The cause is a build up of semen and blood in the testes and their blood vessels. "Blue Balls" occurs when this "pressure" is not relieved by an orgasm.
During arousal in a sexually mature male, the parasympathetic nervous system increases 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 less bodily fluid to leave the area than enter, 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. The technical term for this is vasocongestion. It can be extremely painful, like a hit to the testicles, but from the inside. The effects can last from minutes to hours, to even days if orgasm is not achieved.
Some men may deprive themselves of an orgasm purposely, to prolong sexual activity, etc. Their sexual partner may also request that they refrain from ejaculation for a longer period to increase their duration of sex (or mutual satisfaction of both partners). If this is the case, massaging the testicles or using a vibrator on the testicles during the prolonged sexual activity may prevent the blood from pooling and actually prevent or decrease the severity of blue balls. Some men have also learned and practiced methods prolonging ejaculation for a stronger and more satisfying orgasm. [1].
Men with priapism or orchalgia may experience an extreme, prolonged form of blue balls, which may require medical attention.

It's a real phenomenon, experienced by males in high levels of sexual arousal but become unable to ejaculate. The male genital area, when aroused, gets filled with blood (not just the penis but the testicles too)- and this increase in blood pressure is relieved only by ejaculation. These can be painful, but not really unbearable. At best, it's only very uncomfortable.
Further quoting the source:
"Men who believe that they should ejaculate every time they have an erection are likely to exert pressure on their partner to proceed with sex without taking her feelings into consideration."
...sounds to me like your boyfriend has been watching too much porn, or has been getting some advice from his more "experienced" friends (or *gasp* isn't really a virgin!).
Guys usually expect that when things get hot, the escalation towards sex becomes inevitable (it takes very little to turn us on). Girls, on the other hand, tend to take longer to be highly aroused to the point of desiring sex.
Next time this happens and you really don't want to take things a lot further, just tell him to bear with it or jack off.

If you want a boyfriend so bad, then I highly recommend following this https://bitly.im/aOfE9 Since you've never dated or been kissed before, it's going to be hard to get a boyfriend if you don't know what to do but once you know what to do, you'll be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily and can share your dating stories with your friends and experience those feelings yourself. You'll even be able to attract guys you might feel is out of your league. I suggest going on a bunch of dates before choosing one guy to be your boyfriend. Have fun.

Blue Balls is not a myth. I'm a guy and I haven't masturbated in about a week, and my balls do indeed hurt.

I myself experienced this pain in my testicles, yes, It is painful and you have to find a way to get rid of it. even when you masturbate the pain remains for a few hours. I think it is better to be relieved with an orgasm. However these are not convincing reasons to make you doing tasks that you actually don't like to do.

don't worry about it and don't let him make you feel bad about it or pressure you into anything too fast! it just means he's hurting because his body thought it was going to get sex, and then didn't.
"When a man becomes sexually excited, the arteries carrying blood to the genital area enlarge, while the veins carrying blood from the genital area are more constricted than in the non-aroused state.
This uneven blood flow causes an increase in volume of blood trapped in the genitals and contributes to the penis becoming erect and the testicles becoming engorged with blood. During this process of vasocongestion the testicles increase in size 25-50 percent.
If the male reaches orgasm and ejaculates, the arteries and veins return to their normal size, the volume of blood in the genitals is reduced and the penis and testicles return to their usual size rather quickly.
If ejaculation does not occur there may be a lingering sensation of heaviness, aching, or discomfort in the testicles due to the continued vasocongestion. This unpleasant feeling has popularly been called blue balls, perhaps because of the bluish tint that appears when blood engorges the vessels in the testicles.
Blue Balls Describes a Temporary, Minor Pain
The condition usually does not last long and the level of pain associated with blue balls is usually minor and can be exaggerated. Most men have been socialized to ejaculate when they get an erection during sexual activity. Failure to ejaculate and to feel orgasm often adds frustration and disappointment to the reality of the physical sensation.
Men who believe that they should ejaculate every time they have an erection are likely to exert pressure on their partner to proceed with sex without taking her feelings into consideration.
Some men find that masturbation is a viable solution and are realizing that ejaculation is not a requirement in every sexual situation. This attitude allows both men and their partners to relax more and to learn that pleasure and meaning can exist without having to reach ejaculation and orgasm during every sexual encounter.
Men are not alone in experiencing the discomfort of unrelieved vasocongestion. Women's genitals also become engorged with blood during sexual arousal and, like their male counterparts, women can experience pelvic heaviness and aching if they do not reach orgasm."

This guy is a clown. The next time he tries that lame play on you look him right in the eye and say, "Ok tough guy. If you really have 'blue balls' do what you usually do and masturbate right now. That will take the supposed pain away right?" When he says, "I don't do that" laugh at him and call him a liar right to his face because he is most certainly lying to you about the color of his balls and the alleged pain he is suffering.
He isn't in pain. He's just a horny prick that is trying to use guilt to get you to do something that you don't want to do. This means that he is an intellectual midget and somebody needs to put him in his place. Be warned: his next trick will be to get you drunk.
Stick to your guns and wait until you feel the time is right. You have the rest of your life to be disappointed in men so there's no need to rush into it :)
