As far as the mechanism of blue balls is concerned, sexual arousal leads to expansion of arteries in the male genital organs for increasing blood circulation in that area. Post that, the veins present in the testicles restrict the flow of blood away from the area. This is what causes an erection. Post ejaculation, the blood vessels that causes a swollen penis and testicles return to their normal size. However, during the condition of blue balls, the blood vessels remain expanded due to lack of orgasm and ejaculation causing discomfort.

Exercises like jumping, running, burpees, squat jumps, etc. can divert the blood flow from the testicles to other organs. These exercises can put pressure on the male genitals and take the pressure away from them. You can hop on the treadmill or indulge in push-ups.

Being in arousal even after the pain can further increase your problem. So, it is important to stop thinking about sex and focus on some other things. Reducing arousal can have the effects that exercises have in this condition. It can divert blood flow from the genitals and provide relief to the balls and penis. You just need to disconnect yourself from certain things like dirty thoughts, adult movies, etc. for some time. You can also get the earphones out and distract yourself with the help of music.

Use ice

Notably, things like chilled bear and cold drinks can also be used. According to experts in the field, cold objects can mimic a non-adrenaline hormone, which releases post orgasm.

Try solo sex

Well, the best way to get relief from blue balls is to get ejaculation, if possible. But that’s the thing. It becomes difficult to get the sperm out and that’s what causes the issue. In this condition, if possible, try using your own hands instead of your partner. Accumulated semen actually causes more pain. You can try masturbation. There may be possibility to get the white discharge out through masturbation. Being able to get an orgasm will also provide you with satisfaction and will let the blood flow out of the area. It will also release pressure from testicles. Notably, you can also try oral sex or sound intercourse.

Opt for meditation

Meditation helps in having control over your mind and relieving pain. Yoga poses like goumukhasanas can be extremely helpful in ejaculation and smooth blood flow.

If you wish to avoid further such problems, avoid using any steroids or medications, as they can give you unnecessary erection and create problems in getting out of that zone.

Get a good massage
