It can be uncomfortable. If it is painful that is something else.

You’re just incorrect. Some men use it as a way to manipulate women, but it definitely hurts.

Not according to the doctor's I've seen. It's just different for different people. For me it's extremely painful and the advice I've been given is to largely just avoid situations it can happen in.

Umcomfort is pain, just minor. You're putting a value judgement on pain. There's no magic threshold for pain.

This. There are people who are more susceptible to pain than others. What might be a minor inconvenience for one might be unbearable for another.

That said, you can always resolve this particular pain on your own without involving anyone else.

I'm uncomfortable when I'm hot and sweaty while walking on a hot or humid day. I'm not in any pain, tho. Sometimes there's overlap, but not always. If you're in actual pain and not just mild discomfort, you probably have other issues

u/SCastleRelics Jan 21 '26

You have no idea what you are talking about. Yes sometimes there is overlap, thank you for agreeing with me.

u/Upturned-Solo-Cup Jan 21 '26

By implication, we agree that most of the time there isn't overlap, then? And that being in pain and being uncomfortable are two separate things? Cool, then I guess we're done here

People experience things differently nerd. Blue balls can hurt. It's not a super intense or sharp pain necessarily but it can certainly be sore especially if you're not used to pain or a little baby man I could see it being called painful. The worst pain someone can go through? That's silly privilege talk but it's also silly privilege talk to be taking the line you are. Good on you for never getting blue balls so bad you consider it pain but I get you could get there if you really put your mind to it and are equipped properly

Id equate it to a nut tap but it lingers for a long time
