The Sex Wrap

They answer listeners questions each week (or yours today) – typically questions that people are too afraid to ask at home, too embarrassed to ask at school, or too hard to ask their partners. The Sex Wrap is produced by The Podglomerate.</p>

I know this is an old episode but it did remind me of a severe case of blue balls (called lovers balls in England) I had many years ago when I was in my early twenties. My girlfriend and I had been making out for hours in her room but she lived at home so sex wasn't an option. When I got home they were still aching so I masturbated as I thought it relieve the ache, it did but when I actually came there was an intense pain from my balls which fortunately only lasted a minute or so. So, just a word of caution when seeking relieve.
