I've just started dating someone that really excites me, but we're not sexually active. After spending time together, my testicles really ache. One day it's the left one, the next day it's the right. The pain goes away after a few hours, but before that they are really tender to touch. Is this normal?
I've noticed that the epididymis (the coiled tube located behind each testicle) seems engorged. I'm currently 57 years old, but this has happened ever since I started dating in my late teens, and only happens during courtship. Once sexually active (I've been married twice) the problem goes away. Also, since my religious beliefs discourage sex before marriage, sex is not an option.
