But, they'd do that enough times ....

There must be variances, because a kick to the nuts has to be worse than a finger flick. It's just physics. (Not saying the finger flick can't cause pain, I think it can, just not on the same level.)

I can describe it pretty well for women who are curious about that particular pain. Imagine a cross between a sharp funny bone pain and a severe tooth nerve pain. It really doesn't hurt in the crotch as much as it does in the abdomen and lower chest and it follows up with nausea. It can be very intense even with a well placed graze of just one ball and it can be completely black out worthy if the hit is with force.

[@zzzcocopepe]

I didn't get nauseous, and it was just in sports so i wasn't in danger or anything so i don't even know if that had to do with it

mzzzhedison How do you know this?

[@richarddavis1163]

mzzzhedison And this data tells us that childbirth is more painful than having one's balls smashed because death results from childbirth 650 times a year? That pain and death are equivalences? Are you telling me that pain is measured by the onset of death? Tell me, in the case that one does not die from giving birth to a child does the pain of childbirth become lessened? I appreciate your attempt at sarcasm, but what in the world do those statistics have to do with pain and the relative nature of pain? Take some time away from statistical data, and spend a little more time with logic. Then you won't think that you're so smart after all.

[@wingsclippedwolf]

mzzzhedison No sane person denies that mothers go through pain in child birth, which is why a third of women in the US opt out of it and choose cesarean section, and the majority of the rest get epidurals. It is the increase of cesarean operations that kill many of that enshrined 650 that you keep waving about. That's an ironic tragedy. Yet, you seem to actively campaign in this thread to dismiss the pain men feel when being hit in the testicles. Is it misandry or narcissism that drives you to post even in threads that attempt to find neutral ground?

Great and funny interview. Lol

[@Snatte]

A quote which explains it better than I could: "Testicles are covered in nociceptors, they are also attached to many nerves in the stomach as well as the vagas nerve which is directly connected to the brain's vomit centre. Because they aren't well protected, being hit there leads to nausea, high blood pressure, heart pain and sweating." If you wanna know more specifics about nociceptors as far as I remember; nociceptors respond to something potentially damaging by sending nerve signals to the brain. But you only experience pain once a certain threshold has been passed. And yet, biology lessons just can't do justice to just how fucking much it hurts, it's crippling. It makes you wish someone would stab you just to take your mind off of how much your balls hurt.

[@awtum4314]

A teacher of mine had a very good way of explaining how getting punched in the nuts is worse than getting punched in the boob; getting punched in the boob doesn't make women go in fetal position barely able to breath, which is also why it's a good defence against men to go for the nuts, but you'd get more out of punching a woman in the face than in the boob. Also one punch to the nuts kinda feels like getting kidney punched repeatedly, it's also consistent high amounts of pain for a good few mins.

Years before I transitioned to female I accidentally squashed my nuts on a narrow bicycle seat.

I bring you this comparison Let’s say you need 5N to snap a stick, you hit it with 5 and it breaks Let’s say you get a second stick but this one you hit full boxer 1000N and it splinters. Notice how there is a great difference in the respective strikes, yet both times the stick broke. A flick can be just as bad as a hit or kick pain wise. It’s the level of damage you’ve done that is different with each hit. Thank you for listening to my TEDtalk

[@WS-gw5ms]

it's like the difference between a paper cut and a deep gash. for some reason the papercut hurts more.

[@lazylank]

That's because the paper cut is right at the tip of the nerves, which causes the burning sensation, whereas a deeper cut is somewhat below the nerve ending (thus less sensitivity). Furthermore, the body tends to go into shock when it experiences more harmful injuries (like a deep laceration). This is actually a survival instinct that dulls the pain (or, if the shock is intense enough, numbs the pain altogether).

[@343298918]

In order to stimulate nerves deep to the muscle, you need to penetrate through the superficial nerves first. A deep cut causes much more pain that a shallow cut. The only reason doesn't feel as bad is because multiple pain signals are sent to the afferent pathway and are interfered with each other.

when a woman gets punched in the breast she doesn't fall to her knees, vomit, and repeatedly go in and out of contentiousness. I think that it is safe to say that it hurts more.

[@nataliefoong6356]

I know there's little to no way of comparison, but I still think childbirth lies on the far end of the spectrum. I do agree that getting kicked in the balls will hurt significantly more than being punched in the breast, as a woman. But a kick in the balls doesn't last as long as childbirth, nor are there are many possible complications and adverse affects as a result of being punched in the balls. I'd rate it, boob punch < ball kick < childbirth. Sounds fair to me.

[@azzameentv]

Being punched in the testicles is the same as being punched directly in the ovaries. It has nothing to do with childbirth. I don't know why so many women have to bring up the pain of childbirth in an attempt make the pain of testicle trauma somehow inferior and insignificant. Breaking your leg is less pain than having it blown off - doesn't mean that it's not painful nevertheless. It's like an one-armed person breaking another person's arm because "I've been through worse, so suck it up." The fact modern society has to play top trumps on everything, including pain, just goes to show you how backward our society has become.

this its their trump card against pain have they ever gone through it plus many women choose it knowing it hurts but there will be benefit

I think the difference is, Women have to go through childbirth in order to create new life so they make a point in saying its worse than the possibility of a guy being hit in the balls because technically women can't avoid the pain whereas guys can for the most part if they avoid being assholes

[@93ImagineBreaker]

[@Lianpe98]

[@nick3790]

I’d rather be punched hard in the face twice than be kicked, even lightly, in the balls once. Being hit in the balls is literally incapacitating, the pain moves up every inch of your lower abdomen, makes you feel nauseous, and lingers far longer than any sort of hit to any other part of your body.

[@BethanyGuajardo]

Nick Hyde that is helpful to know as a woman. That’s so nuts! Pun intended ;)

[@equilibrium1999]

Getting hit on the liver is tremendously worse. Which is why when it connects - its the end of the fight. Also, ball pain is intense yes, but I highly doubt you talk from experience because a broken nose is incredibly painful, especially if it hasn't been broken before.

[@joashbritto]

@@equilibrium1999 breaking something is different from mere impact. You ever broken a ball and stood to tell the tale?

[@equilibrium1999]

@@joashbritto I have broken my femur and tibia as well as mi hands three times. A kick to the groin is extremely unpleasant, I agree - although it doesn't last long (30-45 mins?). Anyways, yes I have gotten hit in the balls twice. Once at the batting range when I hit a foul ball that bounced off the plate right onto (or should I say UPto) my balls. I fell to the ground, ... However, even though I agree that breaking something isn't exactly in the same category... I will still proudly and confidently say that a good punch to the liver by a skilled fighter, that hits at the moment you breathe in (baaaad), dude, I would break all of them again just to not go through that. It's that bad.

[@divinrth5187]

@@equilibrium1999 i mean, getting kicked in the balls is also ending the fight for you. undeniably, a good liver shot from someone who knows what they're doing is extremely painful, but personally i think an extreme force hitting your nuts is comparable to a liver shot. even more painful, in my opinion. i was playing lacrosse with my brother once, no armor, lacrosse ball went flying straight at my nuts, with his full power shot. that pain, even just thinking about the memory and writing about it now makes me tighten my legs and curl up slightly. and back when i was in a "boxing phase" obsessed with fighting, i was sparring with a friend, no gloves only handwraps, got hit in the liver just as i breathed in, great deal of pain (he wasn't half-assing that punch, we were seriously sparring to the point it felt like a real fight). despite that, no one can convince me otherwise that hitting the balls is not the most painful thing you can do to a man.

probably going to talk about the "tapping" since a slight tap on your balls can be extremely painful if hit at the right spot, but still nothing close to a punch. now a really hard flick of the finger on purpose or something could arguably be as painful..sorry i don't know if you wanted that much detail lol.

[@mitanshupandya6662]

Fun Fact: Testis are pretty much an exposed organ (just a thin layer of skin around it), it is attached to your abdomen region both inside and out, so any sort of action when balls can’t move aside, it would shoot your pain receptors into a total frenzy cause it thinks an organ has been attacked directly, but balls also send their vibrations into your abdomen which then make go the pain receptor there go wild cause it thinks that it was direct attack and not external (so you would see the person clutching their abdomen as well like 2 seconds after being hit and clutching their balls, that’s why the curling cause it increases the surface area for vibration to spread out. It can also make a person puke sometimes). So it turns into a double wamy pain which is sharp and throbbing at the same time (it goes away faster than other pains cause there was no real damage and vibration go away). Punches and kicks sometimes can be less effective then a “whipped Tap” cause Punches/kicks are relatively slower motion and spread out than something that has been whipped and hence it gives more time and space for balls to move out of way rather than sending vibrations into the abdomen (so less pain sometimes). With breasts, the pain is sharp but over a bigger surface area with fat tissue giving some cushioning and not a lot of vibrations into a softer organs like your abdomen. Hence, the breast pain is sharp and stays for longer but it is not throbbing making it less intense at the moment.

[@Inferno-Dante]

Are you crazy? That’s not at all how it works.

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

I know this is not conclusive but I've never heard of a woman getting knocked/pass out by from being hit on the boob, I've seen it happen twice to guys hit in the balls (during sports not fights).

[@DominikKensylar]

Well, there is the difference between primary and secondary sexual organs. Being hint in the boob can be compared (although this does not take into account the obviously different location and thus the different nerves attached to the body part) to a man being hit in the beard (which, just like the enlarged breasts of a woman, is a secondary sex characteristic), which does hurt but does not knock you out most of the time.

[@PaNdAn940223]

Getting hit on the boob can be really painful (Especially when they're starting to grow when you're like 12-13 years old or when it's the time of the month...) but I've never heard of anyone passing out from it so I'm guessing being punched in the balls is worse lol :P I loved wrestling with boys until my boobs started growing... then they would elbowing me on the tit and it hurt like a bitch :P

[@FishoD]

Simple facts : in contact sports, women don't wear protective gear over breasts or even vagina. Men HAVE to wear protective gear for balls. Even in trainings, we had to. Because the slightest, weakest kick/whatever would pretty much knock us out. Personal example : I had a stomach surgery (cutting, pumping infection and stuff) performed on me while not on sedatives (wasn't enough time), yet I would do that surgery any time again instead of getting kicked in the balls. That's how much any impact on nuts hurt... that much.

WHY would anyone even consider that the boob is the female equivalent to the testicles as far as a potential high pain location? All those nerves down there get hit hard and a woman could easily blackout from the pain.

[@FunkadelicFeed]

1) A punch in the ball is as painful as a tap. 2) When you get hit in the balls, the pain radiates through your body and every man who witnessed it happening feels the pain physically to varying degrees, and this applies to video clips. 3) The pain stays for a long time and then goes away at once.

A tap is the worst type of strike to take to the nuts.Your balls just wanna shrivel up a die whilst your on the ground in the fetal position with the most gut-wrenching aching sensations in your testicles. I've taken punches to the balls that hurt less then a tap because the ache from a tap doesn't go away in 2 minutes, it lasts almost 10.

[@dannyjack659]

I agree with this. I once got hit in the balls from a golf ball. I went on my knees in pain but was up after a few seconds.

[@SnackPatrol]

Jonathan Jones She didn't act anything like she does here.

Also I just meant that was my personal viewpoint, not that that was an indisputable conclusion.

[@D3ADLYTHRUST52]

SnackPatrol I agree with you.

[@D3ADLYTHRUST52]

Jonathan Jones Not true. If that is your argument, you are basically stating that an actor/actresses ability to play a wide variety of characters, to the point where they are unrecognizable, is dependent on how unmemorable/insignificant the role is. Which doesn't make sense. Have you seen how actors/actresses such as Meryl Streep, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, etc. evolve to such a great extent for a role, to the point where you barely recognize them? This is all done whilst playing a role that IS memorable and significant. Emily Blunt is another perfect example. The OP was completely right.
