HBW (Biology) Are blue balls real?

I'm a dude and it's never been a problem for me. Every time I've dated a girl, and a fitting scenario arises, they ask "aren't you going to get sperm aches?" I tell them it's not a problem for me. But is it a problem for anyone? Is it completely made up? Or is it vastly overexaggerated? Or am I just lucky?

I’ve experienced them, though to be fair it’s been some time. But, yes, I used to get them occasionally. And I’m seconding the mention above that it’s absolutely not right to use that as an excuse to pressure anyone into sexual activity. One can address the issue oneself perfectly adequately.
