When men are sexually aroused for an extended period of time but don't get any sort of physical release, they can develop what's known as "blue balls." Medically, this real condition is known as epididymal hypertension (EH). But it turns out that you don't need to have testicles or a penis to feel this way—women can get a version of blue balls, too.

Shelby Sells, a sex, love, and life coach and resident sexpert at WOO More Play , refers to this as "blue vulva." (It's also known as "blue uterus" and "pink pelvis.") "Vagina owners can experience this when blood flow to the genitals increases with sexual arousal," Sells tells Health .

This increased blood flow is called vasocongestion whether it happens to a male body or female one. "The clitoris and the penis are homologous, meaning they are parallel structures in biologically male and female bodies," SKYN Sex & Intimacy expert, certified sex coach, sexologist Gigi Engle tells Health . "Both the penis and the clitoris contain erectile tissue that swells with blood when aroused."

That extra blood flow doesn't actually turn the balls or vulva blue—but it can give either body part a blueish tinge, hence the name of the condition.

Most women who experience it describe blue vulva as feelings of heaviness around the clitoris and vulva. It generally resolves when blood flow to the region normalizes—either after orgasm or when sexual arousal calms, Sells says. Other terms used to describe it include uncomfortable, annoying, even painful.

Blue vulva can feel irritating. "Mostly, it just feels like sexual arousal because it is sexual arousal," she explains. Whatever a person feels, know that it's not harmful at all. In fact, the myth that blue balls is somehow dangerous or super painful is born out of the idea that mean need to "release" their ejaculate, and it's supposed to pressure women into sex.

Family and relationship psychotherapist and author Fran Walfish , PsyD, tells Health it's a misconception that blue vulva isn't common. "I hear differently in my large Beverly Hills private practice," she says. "Many women, especially those above the age of 40, take longer or have trouble achieving orgasm. They either experience a physical discomfort in their uterus or a sense of frustration, or both." Anyone can experience blue balls or blue vulva, however, and it's not limited to any age group.

The International Society for Sexual Medicine says this about the conditions: "Blue balls and blue vulva have not been rigorously studied by academics. Generally, people should not be alarmed if it happens. It can take some time for the aching to go away, but there are ways to relieve symptoms.

One obvious way to relieve that heavy feeling is to have an orgasm. If you don't have a partner on hand, "grab your favorite vibrator and some lube and get yourself off," Engle suggests. Another way to ease the discomfort is to take a cold shower and give your vagina a rest, says Sells. If none of these are possible, just turn your mind to a non-sexual topic, and the feeling will start to dissipate.

Just wondered .
Does it look nice/better?

Dunno, don't care!! All I know is someone asked me to suck his balls last weekend and they were too big to fit in my mouth

This asian man has big balls Asian man with big balls

Do they actually vary in size? I thought they were a pretty standard fitting...

Not all the time. Some guys just dont hang very low lol.

I don't like football, rugby, golf or tennis, so the size of the man's balls really doesn't matter to me.

The balls are pretty unimportant when it comes to size. When I begin wanting to procreate I'll only be interested in their efficiency.
Until then they are redundant.

My ex-husband had ones that seemed long and drawn out if he bent over in his (rather short and unmanly) dressing gown to pick something up. Very unattractive.
An ex boyfriend had very small tight ones which weren't so bad.
Least appealing part of a man's body for me.:o

I prefer bigger, and low slung balls are a definite turn-on.
I don't like those really tight unyielding scrotums some guys have.

Isn't the penis size the most important? The balls are nice but if the rest doesn't match up then what a waste!!!:(

A postman I worked with could do a press-up on top/into a pint glass and lift it up with his balls.
He was a bit of a nutter right enough.

OMG this is hilarious. My answer = never.

Bahahaha! I do sometimes, usually to get back at him for something. haha

I do it a lot too, and pinch or smack his butt!

I mostly do it over the pants. Work pants are the best as they allow for maximum ball grabbage. (jeans are too constrictive).

I am more of a poke my finger in his butt crack kind of gal. I do it because he cannot stand it. I only grab his balls if I am horny, like this morning when we woke up.

Only when I want to hear him squeal like a little girl.

I feel like they are just hanging there, waiting to be grabbed.
I'm not much of a ball grabber, but I smack, pinch or bite DH's butt multiple times a day.
Yes, I bite his butt. If you saw it you would too.

I am totally whats-her-name in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, when the swat team comes in & she is hugging Clark & has her hands on his nuts. LMAO.
just thought we could use a little life on BOTB this afternoon.
B would karate chop my arm sooooo fast
Edit - I forgot to answer. Never. But I am a crazy butt grabber. I squeeze or smack it all the time, and it drives him crazy hahaha. I can't help it though!
Yep, same for us. I do grab his balls pretty often though.
oh yes I ass-slap too. all the time. pisses him off.
the poor guy can't even get changed when I'm remotely near him or else I charge him & go in for the ass-slap/ball grab.
I'd be inclined to rip them off with the way he has been acting currently, so I'm staying far away.
I'm more of a rub-my-butt-against-his-package kind of tease though normally.
Oh ya I do this too... and then I tell him well if you don't want me to do it then pull up your pants! He never learns. It's his own fault.
This post is by far the best for far! haha!
I'm more of a butt grabber,pincher or smacker. It's just so nice and round i can't help it lol!
I do the occasional ball grab, but he's a horn dog and that would immediately turn into an invitation for him lol.
He even says I grab them in my sleep!
