Hello- the term ?blue balls? is slang for epididymal hypertension, which is thought to occur when you get sexually aroused for an extended period of time but don't have an orgasm or ejaculation. It's not dangerous and it's not a reason to pressure a partner into sexual activity.

Blue balls, also known as epididymal hypertension, is a colloquial term used to describe the discomfort or pain that can occur in the testicles and lower abdomen after prolonged sexual arousal without ejaculation. During sexual arousal, blood flow increases to the genital area, including the testicles. This increased blood flow causes the testicles to become engorged and increases pressure in the area. If sexual stimulation continues without ejaculation or release of sexual tension, this increased blood flow and pressure can lead to discomfort or pain in the testicles and lower abdomen. Masturbation or sexual activity that leads to ejaculation can help relieve this discomfort by releasing the accumulated blood and reducing the pressure in the genital area. Ejaculation causes the muscles in the pelvic region to contract, which helps return blood flow to normal levels and alleviates the pain associated with blue balls.
