Sometimes, people feel some minor discomfort in their genitals if they have been sexually aroused for a significant period of time but haven’t reached orgasm. This aching, heavy feeling is often referred to with the slang terms blue balls (for people with penises) and blue vulva (for people with vaginas).

Every woman is different, and the time it takes for a woman to reach orgasm can depend on her situation.
