Do guys balls rise before ejaculating?

Another reason for testicle movement does have to do with sexual arousal. In the 1960′s, Masters and Johnson observed that the testicles elevate just before ejaculation and actually make direct contact with the body. They found that in about 85% of men the right testicle rises before the left one.

Recently a client commented to me that she noticed that her lover’s testicles move around at different times – sometimes high, sometimes low. She wondered what caused this. And, is it a sign of sexual turn-on?

If you have ever had the chance to go skinny-dipping in cold water with a man, you may have noticed that his testicles do raise and lower. When they come into contact with cold water (or any cold temperature) they snug up to the base of the penis. The testicles hang in a sack of fleshy skin called the scrotum. They are outside the body, but inside the scrotum, because the temperature of the core of the body is too warm for them. The testicles have two main functions to perform: manufacturing sperm and manufacturing testosterone. This outside-the-body location creates the optimal temperature for testicular functioning – about 94 degrees F. Therefore, one of the main reasons you might see testicles moving around relates to temperature. The cremaster muscle is responsible for the movement. It expands and contracts according to temperature – moving them further from the body when it’s warm and closer to the body when it’s cold. (In really cold lakes, they can’t seem to get close enough!) Another reason for testicle movement does have to do with sexual arousal. In the 1960′s, Masters and Johnson observed that the testicles elevate just before ejaculation and actually make direct contact with the body. They found that in about 85% of men the right testicle rises before the left one. Masters and Johnson stated that this movement is very important and that at least partial elevation must occur in order to have what they called a full ejaculation. Sometimes older men will have varying testicular movement and report that there is less pleasurable pressure associated with their ejaculation when their testicles elevate only slightly. Younger men can also have the experience of less pressure when they ejaculate involuntarily and before arousal has reached its peak. During arousal the testicles also increase in size due to vasocongestion, the accumulation of blood in the pelvis that occurs during arousal. The skin of the scrotum thickens and the testicles increase in size usually by approximately 50% at the height of arousal. However, Masters and Johnson found that if sexual excitement is sustained long enough, the testicles could almost double in size, returning to normal size after orgasm. They also found that this increase in size tends to taper off as men age.

When is the best time to take cranberry tablets?

Take cranberry tablets at meals that feature foods rich in specific vitamins and minerals.

livestrong.com - How to Take Cranberry Tablets With Meals - Livestrong

Cranberries are often touted for their use in the prevention of urinary tract infections. While some people may choose to incorporate cranberries in their diet in fresh or juiced forms, others may turn to cranberry extract supplements. Cranberries in any form may increase the risk of bleeding, so people who take prescription blood thinners should not take cranberry tablets without a doctor's authorization. For optimal cranberry extract dosage recommendations, speak with your doctor.

Food Pairings

Take cranberry tablets at meals that feature foods rich in specific vitamins and minerals. Certain nutrients in cranberry supplements -- such as vitamin C -- appears to work more effectively when paired with vitamin E and bioflavonoids. Vitamin E can be found in a variety of foods, such as vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and green leafy vegetables. Bioflavonoids -- which are responsible for the bright colors found in some fruits and flowers -- can be found in citrus fruit, onions, berries, parsley and legumes. Taking cranberry extract tablets with the same meals each day can help keep your bloodstream levels stable.

Fill Up With Fluids

Drink a large glass of water when taking the cranberry extract supplements. Most adults should drink at least half of their body weight in pounds in fluid ounces each day to ensure adequate hydration and promote optimal body function. A 160-pound woman, then, would need to drink at least 80 ounces of liquid each day to meet minimum recommendations.
