15 years old with aching testicles

Unread post by Flinn »

This sounds really stupid to say but every couple of days my testicles start to ache idk why but it makes me feel kinda sick, idk if its something to do with my porn addiction and maybe the fact that i usually cum quite a lot per day but idk what it might be other than that

Hi there, Flinn- welcome to the boards!

If you don't mind, I want to ask a few questions, just to make sure I understand your situation- does the pain start after you've masturbated? How long does it last? And, why do you think you have a porn addiction?

Hi Flinn,

If the pain is a recurring and has been bad enough to make you feel sick, it may be time to check in with a healthcare provider to see if there's an underlying cause that needs addressing.

So you know, unless the way you masturbate involves a lot of stimulation of your testicles, it's probably not the cause of the aching. Too, when we talk about porn use, it's much more accurate to use the term "compulsion" rather than addiction. If you're masturbating when you don't really want to be because you feel like you have to, or doing so even when it gets in the way of other things you need or want to be doing, that could be a compulsive behavior that's worth addressing. But if you're just masturbating a lot, that in and of itself isn't automatically a harmful behavior.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
