Where does the expression "balls to the wall" come from?

The expression "balls to the wall" comes from a small winter festival called dark mofo held on the remote island of Tasmania, one events at this festival is called blacklist, there is a small group of very unique people who take mdma in amounts that large they are measured in kilos while pushing there bodies to new found limits over two weekends cutting chemically enhanced shapes to some of the worlds finest music, if this wasnt enough there is a light show which kills more brain cells than a direct shot of a 12 gauge shot gun to the head

This is all made possible but the biggest cooked lad in the world "David Walsh"

Balls to the wall did not originate with steam engines, as some of these "authority" figures on the matter state.
Remember, there were no televisions back then, nor radios, the primary media was writing in books and magazines.
An extremely cursory Google search will show you this term originated with pilots OF THE VIETNAM WAR ERA.

This is when you are at a gloryhole and you hump in a way that your balls hit the wall. This can sometimes cause nausea and flaccidity of the penis.

A term originally coined in 1557, it means going in deep and hard. The term was originally used to refer to being balls deep (hence the plural "balls" to the singular "wall"), but was later "christianized," with most of the original history forgotten and replaced with steam engines, and eventually fighter planes.

Similar to Balls to the wall this can mean to go very fast, however the plural "wall" adds more of a mental picture of everyone involved putting their "balls to the walls". This is used mostly when one wants everyone to try their best and perform well.

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves, going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall, balls to the wall

You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them, too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all

One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make you drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces

You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your
Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall, balls to the wall

Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
Let's plug a bomb in everyone's arse
If they don't keep us alive, we're gonna fight for the right

Build a wall with the bodies of the dead, and you're saved
Make the world scared, come on, show me the sign of victory
Sign of victory, sign of victory

You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you
And then you'll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
