Considering how guys (in general) have a much lower tolerance for pain compared to women, I would find it interesting to know how bad it really hurts to be kicked in the nuts. Amusingly, I happen to think that if it were women with this issue, there wouldn't be quite so much hype about it...heh. Just a thought...
Now I'm sure all the guys will come argue this until the cows come home, but ladies, what are your thoughts? :P

No need to take it so seriously...wow. Some of you really have no sense of humor, or creativity for that matter.

To the idiot that said women don't have near the pain tolerance of a man - you don't have a clue.
As someone who experienced total natural childbirth and passing of a kidney stone (neither is in my top 3 of most painful events either), you would hunch over and cry like a baby for days if you had to do either. Women have a much higher tolerance to pain. They may appear "weaker" to some in our society because society says it's okay for women to show emotion & cry when in pain, whereas men are expected to suck it up and play tough.
I am an OB nurse but for many years I was a medical/surgical nurse. Men are big babies when it comes to pain and have a lower tolerance than women. Trust me, ask a Dr or nurse. We could have a ward full of both male & female patients who had the same surgeries - pick one - hip replacements, gall bladder removal, hemorrhoidectomies, appendectomies. The women would ALWAYS require less pain meds - both the frequency of medicating them and the dosage of the medication.
Bottom line - women have a higer pain tolerance than men.
As far as what getting racked in the nuts feels like, there's no way we can know for sure. While my husband acts like it's the end of the world when one of our kids racks him, both my boys and my nephew all seem 100% fine after about 2 seconds of hunching over. They seem to get over it just fine. The older men want to milk it for all it's worth. Sereiously, ever taken care of a boyfriend, husband, father or other man when he has the flu or a cold? You'd think he was on his death bed! No matter how bad getting kicked in the testicle is, it's not as bad a childbirth or kidney stones. End of story!

I once kicked my husband in the testicles really hard by mistake and believe me, he assumed the fetal position. I asked him about how it feels (many, many weeks after said incident) and he described it as paralyzing shock. He says it's like an electric current that runs up and down his entire body. He says he could compare it a hard hit to the breasts when they are extremely tender during PMS week. Well, at least mine hurt to the point where it hurts to put on a bra. Overall, I don't think it's a pain that we can ever understand as women. But they will never know the pain of cramps and labor so I guess we're even. Hope this helped!

I have a pretty high tolerance for pain as most people with moderate/severe crohn's disease. It's just such a sensitive area I don't know how to explain it, you can't help but hunch over. No I don't think it would be any different if women had testicles. LOL

I can't say i know how it feels to get kicked in the nuts but i guess i can imagine. I've kicked guys in the nuts b4. The first time i kicked a friend in the nuts:I was wearing moon boots n we were just playing around. He kinda pissed me off n i kicked him forgetting i had moon boots on, poor thing he was crying 4 almost an hour I felt really bad n i didn't want 2 get into ne trouble so i just kept saying sorry n waited for him to stop. he finally stopped crying like 2 mins b4 his mom came home. YAY ME!!! ^_^
But i really am sorry 4 doing that to him, he really looked like he was in pain but i didn't kick him that hard. Not hard enough to make him cry 4 almost an hour. He's still a good friend of mine.

Well, I was gonna have to say something about the guy who said women have a lower tolerance for pain, but the Girl named Sue said it just fine!
As far as kicking a guy in his nether regions... I've accidently hit my hubby there before when we were rough housing and I thought he was gonna die! His face turned all white and pasty.... HAHA He's not a good actor, so I'm thinking his pain was real... Well, that's all I know on this topic!

Take what you think is the most vulnerable point in your body, and picture yourself being kicked in that exact area. Now multiply the pain and shock level about ten times, and there's your answer.

I've never met a woman who had the pain tolerance of a man. With that said, getting kicked in the family jewels is indescribable. It has a pain that is not like any other pain a man can feel.
