Not ejaculating for extended periods can lead to mild discomfort or pressure in the testicles, known as epididymal hypertension or 'blue balls.' However, there are no serious long-term side effects. Regular ejaculation may help maintain prostate health, but involuntary nocturnal emissions (wet dreams) often relieve this tension.
