Whenever I go too long without cumming my testicles start to ache, really bad. I’ve talked to a few of my friends and they don’t know what I’m talking about. Any idea or advice?

You know this isn’t uncommon. I couldn’t find any research on the topic to tell you just how common it is, but it does match up with some anecdotal experiences that have been shared with me over the years.
Most often I’ve seen the aching or discomfort be associated with the condition commonly know as “blue balls.” Sometimes men describe it as having heavy nuts. Both of those circumstances refer to a biological longing for ejaculation that manifests with a physical symptom of testicle pain.
If having an orgasm relieves the pain, then you should be having orgasms more regularly to make sure that doesn’t happen. Either way, it may be a good idea to go see a doctor. The testicle pain could be a symptom of several different conditions, which need a doctor’s knowledge to assess.
If you go and check out fine then I guess your prescription is to masturbate a bit more regularly to prevent the discomfort. Personally, I think that’s a pretty good prescription.
