How to stop blue balls ?

  1. Is there a way to stop getting blue balls?
     
  2. There is, but it usually isn't instant, because the best way is to change your habit of thinking and it takes a little time, ordinarily, to change a habit.

    Understanding blue balls and their cause will be helpful to understanding the solution. Blue balls, also known as epididymal hypertension, is a condition caused by mild arousal in which the erectile tissue at the base of the penis is filled with blood, causing a mini-erection that is hardly noticeable. However, as with any erection, prolonged tension becomes painful (ask the young men who foolishly take a strong dose of V..... and get an hours-long erection).

    The arousal which causes "blue balls" comes from the thoughts, just like many/most other arousals (not including dream-time--but maybe those are related to thoughts, too, for all we know). As with any other erection, the more one thinks about the erection, the longer it lasts. So the less you focus on the blue balls, the better; and the best is to not have any lustful or arousing thoughts entertained in your mind at all. If a thought threatens to intrude, expel it quickly, before it has time to cause any physiological reaction.

    For these reasons, I would avoid the suggestions from others to do such things as massage the base of the penis (sure to make the problem worse, and most probably lead to MO anyhow); to put ice in your underwear; or to do any other such "treatment." The best course is to simply change activities, and put your mind on something else entirely, whether that be doing the dishes, going out for a walk, or cleaning your car...something that will help you to forget.

    Unpleasant side effects of sex-related vasocongestion accompanied by sexual inactivity may lead to the cramp-like pain of "blue balls". :emoji_large_blue_circle::emoji_large_blue_circle: Therefore, avoid anything sexually stimulating. That means sexual daydreaming or fantasies. These will spark your mind into sexual arousal but there will be no outcome - leading to blue balls.

    When they do occur, cold is the solution. Dangle your balls in a bowl of cold water. Spray shower them with cold water or use ice - NOT in your underpants! Ice should be wrapped in a towel and held against the balls until the congestion eases.
     
  5. Best way to relieve blue balls is to have an orgasm …
    obviously, if you’re trying to avoid orgasm, then your best options are:
    • Cold
    • Heat
    • Exercise
    • Ibuprofen

    The best way to avoid them in the first place is to not look at anything, don't peek at porn or sexually suggestive photos, no fantasizing either. Blue balls happen by being aroused for a period of time and not releasing it, so to stop getting blue balls you have to make the effort to stay away from stimuli that causes it.
