I've spent some of my young adult years contemplating why any and all members of the male population, love to tug and rub their ever-so-sacred jewels.
I guess I can't make sense of it because I was blessedly born as a female. So, what I'd rather like to comprehend is what exactly I'm supposed to do with this interesting duo before, during and after having sex.
Testicles are oft-forgotten - and I'm mostly reminded of this when requested to do something with them. So, this will be advice to the women who completely forgot that balls do in fact exist and need to be fondled, and to those who purposefully go out of their way to avoid those sometimes scary and hairy little fellas.
I never seem to hear about testicles in advice columns, so guys, here's to you.
A man's balls are actually pretty damn useful if we are willing to go that extra centimeter from the shaft down south.
Lick, fondle, suck, hold, kiss, squeeze - softly - tug, motor-boat - the possibilities are endless.
Obviously getting his opinion about what exactly he likes will be a crucial step from rookie to the big leagues, because, after all, most guys root for different stimulation tactics. Although, I can truthfully say all men I've come across have never once asked me to back off their balls.
I'll admit, rubbing a guy's testicles can be like rolling around those Chinese metal balls in between your fingers - minus the de-stressing effect.
I know they can be scary at first. Two small, medium or large round things sometimes covered in hair - preferably shaven or trimmed, please - and often a bit sweaty from nestling in clothing all day, are probably gonna be kinda intimidating. However, note that up close and in your face isn't the only option here.
During oral sex, typically kissing and sucking would be appropriate. However, if this doesn't seem at all appealing, let him know you aren't neglecting by cupping and squeezing them softly while you're licking other unmentionable areas.
Feel free to experiment during all positions when having sex. If on top, sit up and reach back to grope and fondle. It's sure to add stimulation and perhaps take him by surprise - in a good way. A position such as doggy-style also makes touching the testes accessible and stimulating. Reaching behind and between your legs is a great way to give them a gentle tug, tickle or squeeze.
Don't forget about the perineum either. This is the area between the scrotum and the anus that is sensitive and full of pleasure. Lightly massaging this, while cupping his testicles during oral sex will be the icing on the cake.
Now don't move. I'll go get you a towel.
