if you were defending yourself from a rapist.....?

Question

.....and you managed to grab hold of his testicles, how hard would you squeeze? and what effect do you think this would have on your attacker?

Answer 1

BAD IDEA.

I used to teach this stuff.

You need to focus upon things that will INSTANTLY cause debilitating pain and make your attacker release you and be unable to pursue you as you flee.

The testes do not provide instantaneous pain, nor do they instantaneously debilitate. All that will get you is a strong, meaty fist punching you hard enough in the face to break your cheekbone. Just don't do it!

#1 target: Eyes. straighten your fingers, hopefully with nails as hard as you can and jab them into his eyeballs. Really freakin hard. This will give him instant debilitating pain, permitting you to gete away. It will also blind him, preventing him from chasing you. Then run for your life.

#2 target: nose. with the heel of your hand thrust quickly and as forcefully as possible driving the nose upward into the skull. It causes instant, debilitating pain.

If you do #1 correctly, you shouldn't need to do #2. Then resist the urge to kick him. Run away.

That is all. no kicks to the balls, none of that nonsense... You'll just anger your attacker.

Answer 2

This is not always the best thing to do. If your attacker is hyped on drugs, this will not stop him. In fact, it could anger him and make him hurt you more. However if you do choose to go for force, do it with all you have. Go for the groin or eyes.

Remember that your goal is to escape and live to tell. I've heard of some women that have played along and told him that he was great just to get it done and make him leave feeling good about himself (as sick as that sounds). There was even a woman that was being raped at gunpoint. She got wise and asked him if that was all he had. He put the gun down, grabbed her hips and went at it. She managed to play the part well enough that she was able to move around, grab the gun and turn it on him ending the attack.

Use your brains first. Then do everything you can to keep them from being splattered everywhere.

Answer 3

...=.=" I'm sorry, but really. Why would you want a response to this type of question.( that was a statement)...If I were to squeeze,ugh=_=", I'd do it very hard I ..suppose?? The effect that will come onto the rapist is DEATH!! Mutilation might come after that but that will get too messy and many sane humans can't handle those kinds of things. Tsch, I'll see who messes with me and they'll regret it for the rest of their lives!!!... if they'll still have one after messing with me..but personally I'd rather just kick the offender's "close friend" for defense and call the cops.

Answer 4

If he comes up behind you and grabs you from behind, head butt him as hard as you can, right in the nose.
As far as grabbing his testicles, you'd better squeeze and twist until he passes out, if you don't, he either won't let go, or he'll come after you again.
Sounds like you are in need of self defense training. Ask around and see where there are classes available, it will be worth your time to know how to defend yourself, even if you never have to.

Answer 5

As hard as I could but it might not be as effective as supposed if he's wearing clothing. If, not a twist and yank should do the trick. Attacking the eyes and throat are generally more effective strategies if the assailant is clothed. Two fingers up the nostrils with a quick strong twist will also prompt a healthy reexamination of ones desires. Good luck and stay safe :)

Answer 6

For the question at hand, if you have long nails, dig them in as deep as you can. But let me digress for a second. Over 70 percent of sexual assault victims are not attacked by strangers but by people with whom they are overly familiar such as husbands, boyfriends, ex-husbands, the parish priest, fathers, etc. Most rape is aquaintance rape and for a lot of women in their teens and twenties, alcohol and or drug use played a major role in giving the advantage to their attacker. I would say the best defense is keeping drinking and casual drug use for girls-night-out. Tell your dates up front that you do not drink or do drugs on dates because you always want to maintain "ladylike behavior". If the date tries to pressure or cajole you into doing drugs or drinking on a date, that is a red flag right there. He should be thrilled that he does not have to spend money on your drinks during the date. Also, tell your dates up front, during the car ride to the destination during date one, that you don't have sex with guys who have not been tested for HIV and that you always offer a recent HIV test of your own to your lovers before they become your lovers. In this day and age no one should be shocked to hear that a woman won't spread her legs for a guy until they've both seen one another's papers from the clinic. This keeps the date from having unrealistic expectations.

Answer 7

Squeeze to crush them. But, be warned, some men can withstand this pain and/or recover from it quickly. Need to always think of an alternative defense.

If still standing, kick his kneecaps. Also jab two fingers into his throat, crushing his windpipe would be very hard for him to breathe and continue attacking.

gouge the eyes with stiffened fingers, or poke with long nails. Blindness might help you get away.

Answer 8

As a male, I know what it is like to just get grazed in the nadds; so if some one actually had a hold of them and squezzed as hard as they could....... I would probably die. It doesn't take much. As long as the individual is not all amped up on some drug; they would feel it imediatley and would put them in submission. If the attacker was on somethinig like PCP, it would have no affect on them...at least until the drug was out of their system, then they would die... If you were able to get a hold of them if you were being attacked, pop them suckers. They don't deserve to have them..

Answer 9

as a guy, i would have to suggest squeezing as hard as you can, and twisting. the effect that it would have is extreme pain, followed by a sickening feeling in the stomach.

Answer 10

At that moment I wouldn't be too concerned with the fact that i'd probably be maiming the piece of sh!t for the rest of his life. Grab & squeeze until my knuckles were white !!!
