Q: My boyfriend likes ball-busting. He does not like any other BDSM. He likes me to kick his testicles very hard or sometimes punch them and likes them squeezed very hard and pulled on. This always causes an erection, even after one kick. I am fine with all this but was wondering about any short-term or long-term side effects this may cause or that he should be aware of. He is a 37 year old healthy male and started this when he was about 18 with varying levels of occurrence but up to several times a week. I was also wondering where I could find out why this desire occurs physiologically. He says he must have some wires crossed with his penis and testicles that causes the intense arousal.
Thank you for any information you can provide. I have tried to search medical journals, medical websites, and the Internet with no luck. Being female I don’t ever see a urologist to ask.
A: Thanks for your questions about ball busting. It sounds as if you and your boyfriend have a pretty good idea of what you’re doing and how to do it safely - if he has been experimenting with it for 18+ years, he clearly knows what he likes! There are no long term side effects of ball busting, though it is possible that fertility might be effected in the short term. As far as short-term “side effects” or injuries, these would be the kind of injuries that you would perceive immediately, and also would need to be dealt with immediately.
The most serious risk is a rupture of the testicle. It will be obvious if this happens as bruising appears under the skin, the area swells, and your partner would become nauseated and in extreme pain. Another rare risk is testicular torsion which describes the condition when the testicle and cords become twisted inside the scrotum. There will be pain and swelling in that case as well. These injuries are usually caused by sudden impacts, impact with pointed objects, or pulling and twisting the area. With any extreme reaction such as swelling, bruising, and pain that don’t recede it is critical to go to the emergency room or risk permanent injury to the area.
It’s common for men to enjoy sensation on their balls. Some like soft touches and some like it harder. Since the area of the balls is generally considered delicate and vulnerable he may just be enjoying the power imbalance and risk. Since he is not into BDSM otherwise it sounds as if maybe it is mostly based in the physical sensation. That doesn’t exclude a psychological element - anticipation of extreme sensation and the extreme vulnerability mentioned above. It’s a blend of physical and psychological intensity that many people find arousing. But certainly it is not a matter of “crossed wires”, more a matter of personal preference.
By the way, the practice is more often called “cock and ball torture” or CBT than ball-busting. You might try looking that up if you have more questions.
