Playing with a man's balls during sex should never just happen out of the blue. Like with all things sexual and physical, you should ALWAYS ask first. Some guys like it, some find it painful. The only way to know for sure is to, y'know, have an adult conversation about it beforehand. These men got real about their feelings towards ball play during oral sex on a Reddit thread, and if anything it proves everyone is different. So don't just go in there and touch them without knowing they're up for it first.


1. "My ex used to do this thing where she'd press her tongue into my balls and wiggle it a little, and she claimed it was supposed to stimulate the prostate. It. Was. Awesome." [via]

2. "It is imperative. But please be gentle." [via]

3. "If she's using her hands then I rather she just doesn't touch them, or at the very least treats them like dinosaur eggs in a real life Jurassic Park exhibit. On the other hand, I'd love if she used her mouth on the balls." [via]

4. "Pretty much my weakest spot. I wouldn't say it's super important, but I do like it." [via]

5. "Feels good. It's not the end all, be all, but anything she does to generate pleasure when she's down there is great." [via]

Everyone's clicking on...

6. "Personally? Leave my balls out of the act entirely. They're on the sensitive side, so a rough fondle could shut the whole thing down." [via]

7. "First time I had it done I asked her what she was doing, she responded with, 'I’m being kinky'. Laid back and enjoyed it, in conclusion it was life changing. If you can get her to make a humming noise, then the dial gets turned up to 11." [via]

8. "Depends on the guy. As for me: No sucking on the balls, thanks, I find it too painful. But licking them is a definite yes. If you do it just right, it makes the experience that much more incredible." [via]9. The first time I was like, 'Don't do that, it's weird,' but she actually did it and OH BOI was I wrong. I recommend it." [via]

10. "Never liked it. In fact, I get really nervous. Maybe for guy-on-guy action you’d know the relative pain because you have your own set. But girls have no idea what it’s like to have your balls pushed a certain way, or [to have a certain] amount of pressure [put] on them. They’re fragile baby, treat 'em as such." [via]

11. '"Please stop touching my balls,' usually runs through my head." [via]

12. "Doesn't do much for me." [via]
