In women, vasocongestion occurs in the tissue surrounding the vagina, causing fluids to seep through the vaginal walls to produce vaginal lubrication.
Vasocongestion also causes the labia majora to flatten and spread apart somewhat and the labia minora to swell and open.
During the plateau stage, vasocongestion peaks and the processes begun in the excitement stage continue until sufficient tension is built up for orgasm to occur.

 Boyfriend @ Scarleteen.com - Blue Balls or Vasocongestion
Listen up: vasocongestion happens in everyone every time we become sexually and genitally aroused: simply, the penis or vulva fills with blood, which is how erection occurs in the male and general arousal in the female.
In men, the primary source of discomfort when arousal is not followed by ejaculation is due to vasocongestive pressure in the penis and testicles and surrounding areas as a whole.
Again, women too can suffer from vasocongestion, and may feel pain in the vulva or general pelvic area as a result of it, though it is discussed less often.

Thereafter loss of minor-labia vasocongestion and the return of the walls of the vaginal barrel to unstimulated width and length frequently are extended over many minutes, despite a most satisfying orgasmic experience.

Vasocongestion and tickening of the scrotal skin are involved in the elevation of the scrotal sac.

This uneven blood flow causes an increase in volume of blood trapped in the genitals and contributes to the penis becoming erect and the testicles becoming engorged with blood.
During this process of vasocongestion the testicles increase in size 25-50 percent.
If the male reaches orgasm and ejaculates, the arteries and veins return to their normal size, the volume of blood in the genitals is reduced and the penis and testicles return to their usual size rather quickly.
