The process: BB is a lay description of penile/scrotal engorgement with blood when a male becomes sexually aroused. It also implies that sexual activity will not further allow the eventual completion of a sex act that would diffuse the arousal. It might arise subconsciously, more in teens than older adults. It does not describe random unexplained testis pain.
