Bilateral testicular pain due to masturbation interruptus.
A case is reported of a young man with apparent idiopathic pain in the testicles, inguinal regions, and perineum. An unusual cause and mechanism were found. A personality of antisex attitudes with a sense of guilt and sex-suppressive tendencies was observed. These were the underlying but indirect factors in the causation of pain exposed only on inquiry into his personal habits; otherwise the pain most likely would have been labelled as "functional" or psychologic.
