Decoding the blue ball myth

Look what you did! You gave me blue balls.

I am accusable of letting me guilt trip into the „blue ball myth“ not just once. By dates and by boyfriends. How angry men can get, when „you gave them“ blue balls, because you intentionally or unintentionally turned them on and may have stopped at one point – wow!  


Guilt-tripping you into sex is actually manipulation and even worse: coercion. Some people get turned on just by kissing, some just by looking at your ass, what does it have to do with us though?  


Stopping at any point is okay and should always be accepted, instead of throwing a tantrum to almost dye of blue balls. Sure, it’s frustrating to be turned on without the glorious outlook of release. And maybe it’s really physically hurting them. Nevertheless, it’s not something we have to be feeling bad about. No, it’s not dangerous and the pain will subside once the blood is running back again there where it should be. But how often were women left unsatisfied and do we complain? Ah yes, actually I do.

„You don’t know how it feels like“– actually, women can have „blue balls“ too.

Women with „blue balls“



I have been told „You don’t know how it feels like“– actually, women can have „blue balls“ too. It’s not limited to human beings with testicles, also women can feel the pain of having a „blue vulva“. Blood can be trapped in a swollen vulva as well. Research (Dr. Fran Walfish) shows It even happens more often to human beings without balls because often it takes them way longer to orgasm. And please help yourself if you are left unsatisfied after sex and let alone with it. 

And I manage to live with it as well, I don’t blame it on the person who who made my blood flow downstairs.

My blue vulva


Maybe you stumble upon some articles of mine where I write „I was so turned on that it hurt“ – that! I always wondered if I am the only one experiencing this and did my research. And I manage to live with it as well, I don’t blame it on the person who made my blood flow downstairs. I just might give in or initiate something very easily because of it that might have or haven’t had consequences in the end. Boohoo. 

No one ever died from blue balls or vulva. I promise. 

There are other ways…


You or they don’t want to wait until it subsides? There are two other ways of treatment than sex:

  • masturbation
  • distraction

Look, how easy that is. No one ever died from blue balls or vulva. I promise.
