The term Blue Balls may be associated with more than one condition. In my personal understanding (and experience) it describes a rather painful feeling within the reproductive system (during high arousal), emanating from or somewhere close by your nut-sack.
This phenomenon appears to be closely tied to the situation of cum-denial, this again being an integral part of the practices of milking and edging. Now, whenever your cum-producing glands run in full mode and you are not able to release the accumulated milk via a full-blown ejaculation (yet strongly believe you are soon going to) you may experience the rather nasty condition.
In my experience, however, it seems to occur mainly in two circumstances: for one if you are not (yet) well experienced with or trained in edging, and furthermore, if you badly needed to fuck someone who you seriously like and long for, but just can’t get it done for whatever reason. – Well then, let’s see what the books say (rather the net says).
Now, different sources tell us this:
Origin:
The term is thought to have originated in the United States, first appearing in 1916 (notes Wikipedia). It is a slang term.
Synonyms:
guy cramps; hot nuts; hot rocks; love nuts; stone-ache (stoneache).
Concerning the color in the term:
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. And: you may have noticed a distinct bluish tinge to your testicles after you “make out” or are sexually aroused for several hours... This is the result of pelvic congestion, when more blood and lymph flow into the genitals (during sexual arousal) than flows out...
Better: Actually, it's not your testicles that are blue; it's the skin of the scrotum. When you're aroused blood flows not only to the penis, but to the entire area. The longer you stay aroused, the longer the blood stays there. Newer blood is red, but older blood, which has less oxygen, is darker red, but not really blue - but that's why your testicles appear to contain more blue blood.

Anatomy:
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.
More precise: Blood pressure is increased [with arousal], but the blood vessels that the blood must flow through are constricted (...) by vascular tension as well as muscle tension.
Sensations:
In male-bodied people, the primary source of discomfort when arousal is not followed by ejaculation is due to vasocongestive pressure in the penis and testicles and surrounding areas as a whole. Or: If ejaculation does not occur there may be a lingering sensation of heaviness, aching, or discomfort in the testicles due to the continued vasocongestion. And: When high blood pressure and high blood volume meet narrowed blood vessels, a little like trying to force the flow of a kitchen faucet through a soda straw, it’s uncomfortable and can be downright painful sometimes.
Wikipedia summarizes:
[A] condition of temporary fluid congestion (vasocongestion) in the testicles and prostate region, accompanied by acute testicular pain, caused by prolonged and unsatisfied [i.e. “unanswered”] sexual arousal in the human male.
When I read these explanations, I notice that the circumstances supposedly responsible for the condition of Blue Balls are just what many of us like best in our sexual routine. Even more so I for my part enjoy the sensations of heavy vasocongestion in my reproductive system both from bloodflow and the build-up of seminal secretions in my glands. This gives me a sensation of feeling engorged (my genitals), full or filled (seminal fluids in my system) and heavyness of my plumbing. These sensations add to my arousal and make me anticipate my pending release (while not bothering with the bluish complexion of my scrotal skin). Still, I did – at times - experience the mentioned acute testicular pain! – Why?
It really seems like a small mystery and I guess Blue Balls are not very well studied scientifically*? I assume that the prolonged and unresponded-to sexual arousal are key to the puzzle. When you really want to get off fast, but remain kept from it while your arousal is on a high level, then pain may prevail. This sentence (and the third paragraph of this post) brings to mind another thought: I have the hunch that Blue Balls could be a condition occurring primarily at a young age and lesser so (or at all) in later life.
Now you may wonder why then and not during extended periods of edging or long milking sessions? Note this remark at Wikipedia and take a look at the drawing:
«Some urologists call the condition "epididymal hypertension".»
![plumbing.jpg]( "plumbing.jpg")
My thesis is this: when your mind or conviction permanently tells you that ejaculation is imminent, I assume your duct-system, especially the spermatic cords propelling sperm from the epididymae to the ampullae, is on alert to get ready to soon perform to the max. When the release does not occur, this may result in a backlock of sperm from the filled ampullae all the way back to the source-glands, the epididymae, while the tight spermatic cords still work hard to move mature sperm in the outbound direction. This conflict would result in acute testicular pain and only one selective measure will bring timely relief: one or (better) multiple ejaculations.
P.S.: It is said that the condition is not universally experienced by all males. And (most) edgers don’t really suffer from this (not that I know or heard of). – You are invited to comment and tell your point of view.
