Ballgasm is a term coined by the makers of the
Balldo, a sex toy
released in 2021 and billed as the "world's first ball dildo;" in other words, a dildo that allows the wearer to penetrate someone with their balls and thus have "
ball sex." It is described as a unique combination of testicular sensations that come together to trigger an
orgasm. While the term ballgasm is often used in conjunction with ball sex, a ballgasm can result from other types of stimulation of the
testicles as well.
Similar to a
prostate orgasm or
G-spot orgasm, a ballgasm is simply a "type" of orgasm that originates from a specific body part. The
sensations of orgasm (including the contractions, release and full-body sensations) may remain the same as penile orgasms - or they may vary in breadth and intensity.
As the
vulva shares a similar nerve structure to the testicles, some people may choose to use the term ballgasm alongside vulva stimulation for
gender affirmation.
