For some reason I have always like a lot of pressure on my balls as they are near a guy's face.

For some reason it feels right.

I normally feel the arm more on my johnson than on the balls... If i think about it, it may be that my nuts are parting ways down the middle and the arm is lying on top of my junk, creating a cushion for the boys...

or maybe my body structure is different. Idk

first off, cups are cheating. real men don't need cups.

go ahead, disagree. my dick is bigger than yours. ask your mother.

secondly, you should armbar with the top of the inner thigh of the side you're pulling the arm to. if you've got their right arm, you should be pulling to your right,

and yes, absolutely squeeze your knees together. leverage.

cups are for retards that can't armbar good.

lots of people have already said it, squeeze your knees. the arm should be locked in place tight so you only have to pull just slightly to get the tap. another thing that helps is making sure your partner's thumb is pointed up towards the ceiling.

Maybe you are too far away, like when you are raising your hips/pulling the arm down you are bringing the elbow right into your package. I have done that a few times and it hurts. I hate wearing cups especially for armbars. I can do better without one.

If you're consistently crushing your nuts with an armbar, then you're doing it wrong. Your hips should be the fulcrum of the lock, not your inner groin.
