It’s time to show the scrotum some love.

Balls are incredibly sensitive. In fact, throughout the scrotum there are several nerves and tons of nerve endings, according to The National Library of Medicine. This sensitivity is why it hella hurts to get kicked off in the balls. But, when treated gently, it’s also what makes the balls a pleasure zone. There are mixed feelings about having the balls licked, sucked on and played with. In fact, it’s a conversation that’s sparked plenty of online discussions (like this one and this one). The general consensus seems to be this: most men are into some ball play but be very gentle. So here’s what to know about playing with your partner’s balls.

Talk About It First

You wouldn’t want your partner going for any backdoor play without talking to you about it first, and men don’t want their balls fondled without receiving notice/giving consent.

If you’re going to use your hands instead of your mouth down there, prepare those digits. That means removing your jewelry, since cold, hard rings are not pleasurable to the balls. Also be sure to warm up your hands. Freezing cold fingers or icy hands on the scrotum is probably a nope.

Some like ball play on its own, while others like it as an addition to other activities. So, consider giving his balls some attention while you’re performing oral or giving a hand job. You could also show some love to the balls during sex. Reverse cowgirl is a great position to do this in.

In addition to being pleasurable, ball play can benefit you and your partner in a few ways.

Detect irregularities. If you’re in a long-term relationship, then playing with your partner’s balls will help you be familiar with what they feel like when they’re healthy. This can help you detect irregularities like swelling or lumps that should be reported to a doctor.
Boost sperm count. Stimulation of the testes might promote sperm count. Ball play could be a good idea for couples trying to conceive.
Promote blood flow. Playing with the balls sends more flood flow to the general region, which could help with arousal.
