Blue Labs?

Question:
Can girls get blue balls?

Answer:
In a word, YES! but please let me explain.

In a man blue balls is the aching that you feel in your testicles when you initiate sexual activity but don't orgasm. Let's take a look at the sexual response cycle. Come one everyone think back to high school health class what are the stages? Arousal/Excitement, Plateau, Orgasm, & Resolution. In Arousal/Excitement blood flow increases to the genitals and causes the genitals to be engorged and enlarge (i.e. erection). When and if the man reaches orgasm and ejaculates the body returns to a pre-aroused state during Resolution.

Men aren't the only ones experiencing blue balls... women follow through the sexual response cycle too. Their genitals also become engorged with blood during sexual arousal and, if they don't orgasm they too can experience genital aching. I guess we could call it Blue Labs or Blue Vag... your choice.

This aching does not usually last long and the pain associated with it is usually mild. The pain of blue balls tends to get exaggerated by some people (i.e. men). Most people have been trained to think that every sexual endeavor should always end in orgasm. I believe that the pain with blue balls or blue labs is often coupled with frustration and disappointment so it adds to the aching.
