I’VE RECENTLY BEEN SEEING THIS FRESHMAN, AND SHE AND I HAVE THESE HOT, CRAZY, AWESOME, MARATHON MAKE OUT SESSIONS, BUT WE HAVEN’T ROUNDED FIRST YET. I THINK SHE’S PRETTY INNOCENT, WHICH I’M FINE WITH, BUT AFTER I DROP HER OFF I GET REALLY BAD “BLUE BALLS.” WHAT SHOULD I DO?
— PATRICK, SOPHOMORE
Chris: In baseball, when a runner hasn’t “rounded first,” it means he’s been thrown out. You, Patrick, are that runner. If she hasn’t given you the sign to head into second yet, then she lacks confidence in your abilities as a base runner. I have little doubt that what you refer to as “hot, crazy, awesome, marathon make out sessions” are in reality disgusting, tedious, tongue-heavy grope-fests that would make your average seventh grader swear off playing “Seven Minutes in Heaven” for the rest of her life. With your dentist’s drill of a kiss, your poor freshman fool is probably suffering from “blue gums,” and not the good kind. Given your poor-to-terrifying lovemaking skills, I would strongly suggest that the best cure for your “blue balls” is getting to know “Miss Rosy Palms.” I guarantee she won’t leave you hanging, and you won’t have to pay for dinner.
Niloofar: For those who missed that episode of “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” “blue balls” is a slang term referring to the tenderness and cramp-like pain in the testes resulting from increased blood flow to that area after long periods of sexual arousal without release through orgasm. So basically, you’re suffering from some testicular congestion. Unfortunately, unlike with your nasal passages, Tylenol won’t take away the pain, and there aren’t any sprays for your sac. What options does that leave you with? There’s the cold shower and/or the bag of ice to the crotch. These methods help by causing vessel constriction and a consequent decrease in blood flow. Physical exercise like walking or climbing stairs can also be beneficial. Some suggest that just lying down can help. If all else fails, there’s always the option of some self-service to deflate the balloons. Just a note to the ladies: Never let a guy use blue balls as an excuse to pressure you into going farther than you want to. Remember, he can always burp the baby… with or without you.
I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH ALWAYS LEADING GUYS ON. I WILL GO OUT WITH A GUY A FEW TIMES, MAYBE MAKE OUT WITH HIM AND THEN AFTER THAT, I WON’T HAVE ANY MORE INTEREST. WHY DO I LOSE INTEREST SO QUICKLY? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? THE LAST GUY I DID THIS TO HAS BEEN CALLING ME FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS, AND I HAVE NOT ANSWERED HIS CALLS YET. THE MORE HE CALLS, THE MORE IT IRRITATES ME THAT I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD DO SOMETHING. AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH, I ENJOY THE FACT THAT I CAN PLAY WITH GUYS’ EMOTIONS SO EASILY. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I SHOULD DO.
— SALLY, FRESHMAN
Chris: I’ll attempt to answer your questions in order. One, there’s a possibility you lose interest because you’re dating guys like Patrick above. My grandma used to have a saying, “If a man can’t kiss, he ain’t worth your piss.” God, Grandma was gross. Two, yes, there’s something wrong with you. I don’t know if you’re mad at Daddy, emotionally scarred from past relationship failures, or if you’re simply a frigid harpy incapable of love, but there’s some serious dysfunction in your dating. Apparently “playing with guys’ emotions” is the new codeword for “cock tease.” Perhaps you shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss this stalker who won’t quit calling. For some reason, he’s still interested — probably because he hasn’t actually talked to you for more than five minutes. He just wants a ride on the train wreck that is your love life, but I don’t see the harm in giving him a shot. Maybe this time you’ll be considerate enough to play with more than his emotions.
Niloofar: You say you lose interest quickly, but I’m willing to bet you were never interested at all. More than likely, you were interested in the fact that they were interested. You get excited over the fact that someone likes you, you get dressed up, you go out, and then you get let down. That’s because no matter how much someone else might like you, it won’t be fulfilling until you stop trying to get and start trying to give. Don’t go out with the intention of finding someone who will love you. Instead, go out and ask yourself if the guy you’re with is a person you could love. Before you can love him, you have to love yourself. Unfortunately, it sounds like you have a case of low self-esteem. Stop seeking validation from others and responding to every person who shows some interest, and start showing some selectivity. You’ll see a quick turn-around in the quality of your dating experiences and in your life in general. Not to mention you’ll save yourself the trouble of having to obtain (multiple) restraining orders.
