aching testicles after sex

Post by leaflet owo »

Heyyy

I'm a girl born with a penis (transfem as most would call it) and I have noticed this pattern with my testicles that I just want to check out. So i have never penetrated anyone (nor plan on doing so but that is a story for another day) but when I am feeling frisky and am really close to another girl i get really hard (that's not the concern). The concern is that after we finish my testicles start to ache. like, literally ache. what does / could that mean? My guess is that there is semen trapped in there that wants to get out and so i masturbate on my own later and I really hate it. Does anyone have any ideas on what that could mean? I really don't want to to that but if feels like if I don't release it it would hurt more later. But it doens't just stop hurting then, it takes a bit to disperse.

Thank you for your help!

Hi there, Leaflet!

I'd like to ask a few questions to make sure I understand what is happening.
  • Do you ejaculate/release semen when you have sex with other people?
  • How long does the pain last, in your estimation? (Both when you masturbate and when you don't)
  • When you have sex, are your testicles touched or manipulated in any way?
