And without reverting to Japanese, either, for the convenience of the listeners...
I think more for the convenience of Gary. I suspect his life expectancy would significantly drop if he kept on stopping during the swirly to ask Yuki, "What did you just say?".

I believe Yuki was mostly raised in Japan, so she may not have had much exposure to western culture/entertainment and given her distinct lack of interest in the male body/sexuality since a relatively early age, I don't think it would be pushing it too much for her not to have heard of the symptom.
It certainly wouldn't be the first time we've had fore-head slapping disbelief from this comic (see Gary and Amber).

Huh. Until I looked it up on Wiki just now, I had no idea Blue Balls were actually a thing. I mean, I was aware of the term, but I always thought it meant just frustration, not something actually physical.
Same here... but wiki at least says not all males have it. I know I haven't but I've had enough moments when I should have, I guess. Lucky me?

Oh. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god.
I wish you hadn't said that. That puts a whole strange spin on watching Doctor Who yesterday with a girl I like. @_@
I lol'd though.

Then I was told it was just a cultural myth that was perpetuated in order to guilt-trip women into having sex.
I'm from Western Europe and I hadn't heard of blue balls until a few years ago and hadn't known it was a real condition until rather recently. (Mainly personal experience and then looking it up after it was mentioned here it was supposedly a well-known real condition in this thread.)

Back to the blue balls...
I too thought it was just a term for extreme frustration. After all, spontaneous nightly releases (while sleeping) happens for basically all men.

Perhaps we'll meet again soon but next time, allow me to bring the trout.

Except living in an apartment full of women and in the same room as a woman who would kill him if he did it in there...

He doesn't know how to lock the bathroom door or it has no lock, so see again, apartment full of women.

He should get one of those pocket... thingies? Whatever they're called. Set on the vibrations and keep it in the pants at the same time. Might need looser pants to make it fit though.

Fact: Ma3ntreal doors have no locks.

Well, that's inside the comic. In this comic, everything is silly and always results in the most akward outcome.
In that case I guess he's going to make a beeline to the bathroom then.

Now to see how Gary's debasement results in hilarity!
Also, called it.

Yuki, I understand you're inexperienced and phallophobic but you could at least *try* to be a less selfish lover.
Yeah, she is quite selfish here... but apparently the Swirly is JUST THAT GOOD. It's like a drug, like the best possible thing, llike you never had sex before and all of a sudden you have SEX...
And I guess if she could repay him she would... maybe she's at least paying for dinner?
Now the big question... will Gary get a tongue cramp and lose the ability to give swirlies forever?!

Wouldn't that make him a callboy?

Oh, now there's a thought. I could totally see things going that way. :O
(Not forever, but just long enough for her to get withdrawal and try to do something about it, thus moving their "relationship" along.)

Currently, this is my greatest problem with the comic. It's just not reasonable. It shatters my suspension of disbelief.

Im honestly not sure how well that would work. Especially if its a bad case. It might be hard to give yourself enough stimulation when you feel like a horse is constantly kicking you in the sack. I dunno, maybe it would be like when your calf muscle cramps up really bad and you have to force it to stretch a certain way to unlock it again. It hurts, but its better than lying there in pain till it eventually stops making your cry. Just push through the pain and you will feel better sooner.

Poor, poor Gary. His girlfriend is so oblivious to his plights.
