When was the last time you thought about balls? No, not tennis, base, or footballs, male balls. You know, those hair bedonkers below the penis. Well, for me hairless bedonkers. Women seem polarized on the subject. Some love them and at least as many don’t like them. They’re standard equipment on males.

Balls are shape-shifters. They can go from a tight package nestled under the penis to a loose sack with the contents plainly visible. The scrotum has a thin layer of muscle that controls this. When loose and hanging down, the body is trying to cool the contents. When tight, it is either trying to keep them warm or protect them from danger. That’s why they usually pull up during sex.

It’s difficult to find a man who doesn’t like his penis, but easy to find guys who aren’t very fond of their balls. Like them or not, guys have them. They can be very erotic and contribute to male sexual pleasure. I love my balls tickled gently. Mrs. Lion also slaps them sometimes. She says it turns me on. No comment.

Many women ignore them during hand-and-blow jobs. They are treated like unwelcome guests. Paying attention to balls makes a handjob a two-handed operation. It’s worth it for the guy receiving it.

When it comes to male chastity devices, balls are an essential part of the security design. Most devices are secured using the balls as an anchor. The base ring of the device goes around the balls and penis. Some guys think it has to be very tight to work. It doesn’t. A nice fit (you can easily get one finger between the top of your penis and the ring, but not two) is all you need.

The cage attaches to the ring. Aside from protecting the penis from sex, the cage (tube) also covers most of the opening the balls and penis went through putting on the base ring. It can’t come off. OK, most devices can allow you to get your penis out of the cage with effort. The device will stay in place anyway. Remember, the purpose of a male chastity device is to discourage masturbation, not provide an escape-proof prison. You wanted to be locked up. It would be dumb to try to escape.

Anyway, a bad fit or bad male chastity device design can cause the balls discomfort. If the base ring is too tight, it can deprive the scrotum of enough blood circulation. It can cause sores and even turn the scrotum purple. This is all bad. The device should allow the balls full freedom. Sometimes if the scrotum tries to shrink to its smallest size, some men will experience pain. This is often an issue with the gap between the cage and the base ring. A proper fit will be comfortable at all times.

Mrs. Lion likes to tie up my balls so that the scrotum is stretched and the balls separated. When she does this and jerks me off, my balls move up and down, slapping the bed. I like the feeling and she has fun seeing my balls move that way.

I encourage you to pay attention to more than the penis. The balls are erotic and can be a source of fun for both partners. When it comes to male chastity, a good fit will avoid making the boys hurt.

I would like to thank Joseph for his email. He reminded me that I have been ignoring balls for some time.

I was just about to ask Lion if he wanted to snuggle when he asked me. I didn’t really feel like doing anything more than that. I had no idea what he wanted. The answer became a little clearer when I let my hand wander. At first, I was just fondling him. He started to get hard so I got a little friendlier. When I stopped, he humped the air. I guess we know what he was after.

He wound up getting really hard. It had been at least a week since I’d been in the neighborhood. I didn’t think he’d be so responsive even after recovering. We were both tired. Apparently, the cure for being tired is hand to weenie resuscitation. I guess that would wake most men up. Maybe tonight I’ll feel more like encouraging his hard-on.

Yesterday, I had a headache that was worse than anything I had with COVID. I’m assuming it was my sinuses, but it was oddly reminiscent of how I felt the day before I tested positive. I haven’t been sleeping all that well, but I don’t have a headache today. I wasn’t hungry this morning though. I didn’t feel bad. I just didn’t want to eat. That’s weird for me. I’m usually hungry and even if I’m not, I can eat. Eventually, I ate my breakfast with coffee mid-morning. Then I wasn’t hungry at lunch. I can certainly stand to lose some weight, so I’m not really concerned about not being hungry. I just want to have energy for Lion fun later on.

I don’t have any ideas for tonight. I’m thinking we’ll just play it by ear. It may be another case of giving Lion an orgasm to reset the clock and go from there. Of course, I can have a little fun with him before his orgasm. I mean, he doesn’t have to have one right away. I can tease him a few times. He may not even get his orgasm tonight.

Who knows?

I don’t.

This morning we both took COVID tests. Mrs. Lion finished her five-day course of anti-virals a couple of days ago. I still have one more dose to take tonight. We both tested negative! Amazing! I’m certain we had one of the omicron variants. Still, we didn’t get very sick and felt good only a few days after symptoms started. It was like the mildest cold ever.

I’m sure that the combination of being vaccinated and taking the Pfizer anti-virals turned a serious disease into a small cold. We are both in high-risk groups for COVID. Instead of ending up on a ventilator, we spent a couple of days in bed with stuffy noses. Wow!

I know that some of our readers don’t believe that immunization is useful. We prove that it is. A lot of people don’t understand what this is about. COVID is a SARS coronavirus. The common cold is also a coronavirus. The SARS variants are more deadly than the common cold or flu. I don’t understand the science, but we can’t build up complete immunity to coronaviruses. That’s why after you get a cold or the flu, you can get it again. That’s not true of other viruses like measles.

There isn’t good data available yet, but it’s clear that recovering from COVID only provides limited immunity from another infection. This is also true of vaccines. There is good evidence that vaccination minimizes the effects of infection. Add to that the anti-viral medication and COVID becomes less serious.

It looks like this disease is going to be around for a long time. No, it isn’t just the bad flu. It’s killed over one million Americans. This is far more than the last pandemic, the 1919 influenza epidemic. COVID, even the newer, less deadly variants, still kill. That’s why I’m writing this post. There is a free and easy way to avoid getting very sick. There is also free treatment if you do get sick. The treatment works best if your body is already armed against COVID. The combination of the two turned this disease into a minor inconvenience for us. If you haven’t gotten your COVID shots yet, it isn’t too late.

I waited until this morning to test for COVID again. I wanted to make sure the antiviral was out of my system. Lion couldn’t wait to test again. He’s not even done with his antivirals yet. We’re both still tired and I have a worse headache this morning than I did the whole time I had COVID, but we’re negative. I’m glad neither of us had severe symptoms. I’m not even sure we had moderate symptoms. It’s been a few years since either of us has had a cold thanks to social distancing. I know I got careless by not wearing a mask in public. Both of us did, but I’m pretty sure I’m the one that brought it home. It was stupid.

We spent part of last night reassuring the dog that the bangs and booms happening outside weren’t going to get her. I tried to take her outside before bed, but people near us were still setting things off at midnight. I’m not sure we felt like doing anything sexual, but we didn’t get a chance. We may not feel like it tonight either. There’s no rush. Snuggling works just fine, although I’m sure Lion would like more than that. At least, he may think he wants more.

Once we feel better, things will get back to normal around here. Lion won’t admit it, but he’s looking forward to being spanked again. Why else would he push me to spank him for something I told him I was forgiving? He’ll say he was just trying to be fair. If he did the crime, he should do the time. I agree, but if I wave my magic wand and make the offense disappear, it should remain gone. Was he trying to annoy me into punishing him anyway? He really doesn’t need to try to annoy me. Sometimes it comes quite naturally to him.

Of course, he’s looking forward to sex more than punishment. He’s been tracking the time since his last orgasm as usual. I maintain that the time he’s sick and doesn’t want an orgasm shouldn’t count toward the wait, but we have never been able to figure out how to keep track of it other than by brute force. I’m sure he can agree that not all ten day waits, for example, are created equal. However, I’ll do my best to get him super horny again and begging for an orgasm. No, he doesn’t usually beg for an orgasm. But he does get super horny. [Lion — Ten day wait??? Today is day 16! Just sayin’]
