It feels like someone kicked you in the balls.

If so, then yeah, it's like that.

But you are right that I cannot imagine what it feels like or how exhausting it is. I only know what women have told me.

12. That's also kidney stones.
Especially when your urologist says for you to just pass it on your own. That's the sickening part.

62. There was a kidney stone thread here a couple of weeks back.
Some of the horror stories were of stones taking days (up to a week and a half for one person) to pass, and being in agonizing pain for much of that time. Five hours of hair-pulling and agonizing pain was my longest the last time I had to get one removed.

29. My first kid came out with his hand on his head. His little pointy bent elbow
Edited on Sat Oct-17-09 10:28 AM by GreenPartyVoter
tore me from stem to stern. There was no longer a "front" and "back," if you get my drift. Took an hour and a half to stitch me up and more than a month for everything to heal back up. Thank heavens for donuts. :P (Miraculously, I didn't need a C-section with the second one. Nor did he unzip me on the way out. :D In fact, I only pushed for about 15 or 20 minutes and apparently did it so hard that I bruised his wee little face. :( )

Still, a slapshot to the nuts sounds really awful. :( I hope my boys never experience anything like that.

16. Yeah, but a kick in the balls doesn't last from 6 hours to 2 days.

Having been in labor twice, I think I would take the kick in the balls over 16 hours & 8 hours of hard labour....

17. I imagine that if...
...you took a 5-minute section of labor pain, and suddenly and without warning caused it to happen to yourself, you'd have what it feels like.

There's no warning, no build-up. Just *wham* and your muscles turn to water.

24. True, but at the end of the process you've got a baby
At the end of the ball-kicking, you just have a sort of vague dread about having survived it.



Come to think of it, maybe it's more like childbirth than I'd initially considered.

Hmm...

18. Put it into context
Women voluntarily get pregnant.
Men will never intentionally hit themselves in the balls.

Don't feel so bad for the women, they wanted it. No one wants to get hit in the balls.

43. Ok, but the number of people having babies has increased exponentially
While the number of people hitting themselves in the balls has remained very low.


Two points:
Most of the nut shots I've seen on the internet were not willing or intentional.
I'd wager a great deal of them wore cups if they were doing it on purpose.

I'll bet men just say it does, and exaggerate how much pain they feel. A whack to the 'nads? No biggee. You know how men are -- drama kings.

32. I remember in Junior High
There was this aisle in between rows of desks and two students were trying to pass each other and as they were doing that one student brushed the other student's "area" into the corner of the desk and I guess it hurt to so bad to the point he was literally in tears.

It is indeed painful. :)

35. My kids were watching America's Funniest Videos last night.
My son was laughing his butt off at all the slapstick stuff -- people slipping and falling, etc. But when it came to a montage of "whacked in the crotch" clips he sort of doubled over, crossed his legs and became silent. :rofl:

38. Those are different balls.
The balls here in the world of shadows are quite sensitive to injury, but the "real" balls, which can only be apprehended intellectually, have magnificent strength.

37. I should think it's the most mind-blowingly excrutiating pain ever
Edited on Sat Oct-17-09 08:36 PM by GCP
I once hit my 'sensitive spot' on a bike cross bar and that was pretty drastic. I've given birth, but found that was more like a very bad period pain that ebbs and flows.
I can imagine a kick in the balls would take your breath away and take hours to get over.

41. I played center on my high school football team
A center's job is to snap that football into his own crotch as hard and as fast as he possibly can when the quarterback yells hike. One day in practice I never realized that I had forgotten to wear my protective cup...After the first snap I was curled up on the ground in the fetal position and had to be carted off the field.

There's no way a woman could imagine what it feels like because it doesn't feel like any other pain. It's a very quick and effective (but cruel) way to take a man down. I've had kidney stones, and they are different (worse) than a kick in the balls.

42. There are easy things to compare it to
It's actually fairly similar to being kicked in a kidney.
On the scale of pain, I'd guess it goes Giving birth > kidney shot > nut shot.

On the other hand, women will never experience yanking on a pair of jeans to answer the phone (That rang JUST as they got in the shower) and wondering if it's possible to live the rest of their life laying on the floor of the bathroom because that seems like it might be easier than pulling the zipper back down. Not that I ever did that or anything.

49. About the same as having a horse take a bite of my boob
And that hurt like hell and put me into shock. Crushed half my breast so bad the skin sloughed off in the next week. It's been over twenty years and I have scar tissue that still hurts when I wear a bra.

So I think I have an idea.

51. As a guy who's been through his share of injuries,
I find it pretty easy to explain to women what being kicked in the testicles feels like.

Have someone punch you in the solar plexus with the force of a professional boxer.
Or you could have someone take a wooden bat and aim for the center of your back.
That feeling you get where you're gonna throw up, and you can't get your breath, and pain is radiating through most of what now seems like your hollow body? Yeah, now imagine that same pain radiating from your crotch.

I honestly don't think I could describe the pain of menstral cramps or labor pains to a man, there's just nothing that compares. You have to live it to understand it. Regardless, it sure looks like getting hit in the testicles hurts BADDDD!

61. As a dude, I'm kinda surprised "Hitting your ear drum with a que-tip" got zero votes
I've had a bad, painful ear infection before. It was less intense than a nut-shot, but the pain lasted much longer. For semi-interior, totally sensitive pain centers, the middle ear may be the closest analogy.
