Slight cramping during/after arousal. ? Who else has experienced this? ?

Question

Lately when I get turned on/ aroused I experience a slight dull crampy feeling. Its almost like very very mild mentrual cramps. I'm in a new relationship and we haven't had s*x yet - just fooled around. No climax but arousal. Afterwards for like the next day I feel slightly crampy and a sort of full type feeling. It's not really painful at all ... just different.

What could be causing this??? Has anyone else experienced anything like this before??

Answer 1

You know when guys talk about "blue balls?"  This is the female version . Seriously!  It's technically called "pelvic congestion" and it's an ache you get from having too much blood rushing to the area.  When you're aroused, you get a lot of blood flow to all the organs in your pelvic region.  When you have an o****m, the muscular contractions help dispel the extra blood.  When you don't have an o****m, you get cramps from the extra blood.

So girls can get "blue balls" too.  :)
