This may sound a daft question

[Purple_Popple]

But what does it feel like for a man to get hit in the testicles ? Can a guy explain in words as best he can. Bizarre I know...but not being a man (last time I looked!) i cant even comprehend what the level of pain must be....

[boxtops]

I've seen it happen, it looks excruciating.

[Purple_Popple]

Ive seen it a few times in the past, and some inflicted worse than others, to where it has made them drop to the ground !

[joeluke]

It bl00dy well kills

[NoMercy]

Imagine childbirth, with added pain!!!

[ummmm]

In that case Bob...if you want to compare it to childbirth, imagine being kicked in the balls once every 2 minutes....for about 5 hours..

Bunch of wusses...

[joeluke]

Ouch, me nuts

[cazzz1975]

see this is where the problem is, if a man has never experienced childbirth then he wouldnt be able to accurately define the level of pain, the same goes for women using a kick in the balls as an example, when we dont really know what level of pain is experienced in being kicked in the balls!

how about likening the pain to things that both have experienced?

[Sqad]

Well look at it like this.......the nerves of the testis comes from a plexus of nerves around the stomach and join with another nerve in the pelvis...SOoooo.....a hit in the "balls" gives you a sickening f feeling not in the "balls" but deep inside the pit of the stomach,with severe nausea, sometimes vomiting and circulatory collapse.

There........how's that ?

[ummmm]

I think you can tell, to a certain extent, the level of pain on someones face...

[DTCwordfan]

well its all relative purple as we cant compare.

However there are a lot of us of both sexes who have had gallstone attacks and many women say that this is worse than childbirth in pain terms, possibly because there is nothing productive at the end?

Being kicked/hit in the testes is worse than Gallstones that as it is completely numbing, steely numbing with immense pain coming up from the crotch. It renders you useless, you want to double up in pain and even can throw up,,,,,,in many ways it is worse than a kidney stone (thats another comparison) - that feels like a freezing cold steel blade being put trhough your back...as it feels so omnipresent.

Hope this helps??

Basically they go 'green' then ...lol...well it's not funny..

[joeluke]

Cricketers wear 'boxes' when batting, now you know why girls

[pretty_snowdrop]

My mother in law once told me the pain of gallstones was similar to labour pains.
Any blokes out there who has had/got gallstones?

[Purple_Popple]

Ooooo, my eyes are watering DT ! OOOOOUUUUUCH!

[Purple_Popple]

Yes they do Joe, are they still called 'cod pieces' or am i thinking of something else ??

[cazzz1975]

I have had a gallstone attack and personally I would rather have the labour pains!

[Stephen_G]

I doubt a Cricket Ball direct to the spuds would be much more preferable, but getting hit on the box isn't too pleasant because you've got a triple impact because of the shape.

I've been kicked in the spuds and I struggled for breath for 20 minutes afterwards (It was a lunchtime game of Footy at School). It took me about 5 minutes to walk 30 or so metres across the yard and I had to lay on a grass bank until we went back to class. It's not something I'd be looking forward to receiving in the near future.

[askyourgran]

I've seen an amateur cricketer walk on the pitch with his 'box' around his backside. LOL

[pusskin]

isnt the pain equivalant to having ones bum sewn up?

thats supposed to be the equivalent for labour pains too?

[Stephen_G]

I've never compared the pain of a kick in the nads to childbirth, however, if you ask a woman to have another child (Knowing how painful childbirth can be) and she may well say "Yes." Ask a bloke if he ever wants another kick in the nads and you'll be told, not too politely, to "Go forth and multiply."
