Explain "Balls" to Me

When reading romance novels, there is often a sexual description that involves the balls. "She teased his penis and balls." On average, how important do you think a man's balls are to him when being aroused and satisfied? How do the sensations compare to the penis? Are they totally different?

Hi LM,

That's a bit of a general question...it really depends on the man. The actual testicles are secondary (at least in my case) to the scrotum, which is extremely sensitive. There is nothing more arousing (and in some cases) relaxing than having the scrotum carressed or sucked. having the actual testicles sucked or played with is really nice as well, fut for different reasons: due to their senstivity to pain, there is a bit of a danger to it...sort of a taboo. And definitely a man needs to trust his partner if she is to do this...sort of a turn on.

It makes sense when you consider that the scrotum is the same tissue as the labia on a woman. In fact, before we are born and prior to the flood of testosterone within their mothers uterus that makes a fetus male, we are all essentially female. In fact, if you look closely at your man's scrotum, you will notice a line dividing the scrotum vertically(between the testes)...that line is where the labia closes and the gonads (if the baby is male) drop (if the baby is female, the gonads remain high and become ovaries). The clitoris extends as well and becomes a penis.

So for a male, having the scrotum carressed or paid attention to, is akin to having your labia licked. Most guys find it extremely satisfying.

Peace.
Scott.

Since when does a romance novel use "penis"? I've always read the ones that talked about the heroine, Viviane, taking his "throbbing manhood" into her hands, timid and afraid. *LOL*

Words other than penis sounded kind of harsh. The real word in the book had a 'c' word!

Very informative comparison. Do you think each guy has a different need in how much his balls require attention? I think you may have answered this when you stated each man had his own thing.

You got it. For some of us, don't bother with 'em. For others, don't forget about 'em.

"Romance novels"! They are so far from reality....the few I've glanced at make me want to either gag, or laugh hysterically! I can't imaging a real life woman telling a man that she wants his "manhood"! (or most of the other "conversations" that go on!)

I'm guessing that you've had little or no sexual experience. One of the first things you need to learn is that no two men (or women) are alike, and you can't think that because one man likes something that ALL men like that same thing. We all have different needs, and like different things. There are MANY men who like their testicles caressed, played with, kissed, or whatever. There are some men who don't like that. Just as there are some women who love their breasts played with, their nipples kissed or sucked on, but there are also many women who can't stand that.

When you meet a man.....you have to find out from him what he likes, and what he doesn't like. When you meet another man, you have to ask him the SAME questions, because he will be different from the first man.

I guess that Romance Novels can be fun to read, but don't get too many preconcieved notions from them, because real life is very different from novels.

When the time comes, you just have to ASK.....and he will be glad to tell you what he wants from you........and you should be prepared to ask for what YOU want, too. Men have to learn, just as women do.

My DH greatly enjoys having his scrotum caressed and fondled when he's aroused. He's a little more protective of that area when he's not though. He's explained to me that it's probably similar to the sensation I experience from perineal massage. Pleasurable, but not enough by itself.

I actually don't read romance novels. What I quoted was something printed in an abstract. I actually lean towards literature and nonfiction.

You are correct in that I appear to have a lack of sexual experience. I don't. I appreciate your descriptive answer. When you are not in the position to have a man TO ask, curiosity can make your mind wonder! A question like this is difficult to find an answer to if you do not have an initmate partner. Message boards are great in that respect. Thanks for satisfying some curiosity about this woman's mysteries of the male body.

Personally I could take or leave my scrotum and testicles being licked or sucked. I prefer something slightly different, a firm pressure on the perenium which is a spot about an inch in front of the anus and just a bit behind the scrotum. Firm pressure with the tips of fore and index fingers of one hand while having my penis stimulated with a BJ or HJ is fantastic. It makes my penis feel more pleasurably swollen and hard, and the orgasms are more intense.

Having my balls gently played with during a BJ is outstanding. I cannot say what other guys think. I have never read a romance novel, I had no idea they were so descriptive.
