“Blue Balls” Are Real (But That Doesn’t Mean You Should Sleep With Him)
“Babe, you’re giving me blue balls, and it hurts. Why would you turn me on if you weren’t going to finish me off?”

Though this is a slight dramatization of something many women have heard from guys trying to manipulate us into sleeping with them (side note: run as fast as you can if you hear this from a guy), you get the gist. When some men get “blue balls,” they try to guilt-trip us into sleeping with them by suggesting that we’re the ones who are causing them pain. Some of them go as far as saying that the condition is dangerous and that we would have sex with them if we cared about them and their health.
