I bet getting hit in the balls doesn't hurt as bad as men say.

[Dangerously Amused]

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[MissB]

1. What about a bobbit?

[Dangerously Amused]

3. With those itty bitty balls they must have? I doubt it.

:popcorn:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. I asked a question to this extent a couple weeks back.

Reactions were interesting....

But see for yourself: DU Men: Is It Possible to Describe the Pain of Being Kicked in the Balls?

:popcorn:

[Maestro]

44. You need to put that thread in your journal.

It was hilarious, but I found myself wincing at points. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

53. Already done.

;)

[patcox2]

82. Its not as bad as a bad ankle sprain,

Or even breaking a finger. I've had all three happen to me and getting hit in the balls is childsplay.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

90. I'd rather break all my fingers at the same time than get hit hard

In the balls. This is why I do my best to never upset any women (because no self-resppecting guy will hit another guy in the balls. And if he did hit me, I'd just have to straight up murder his ass!))

[file83]

4. No, it hurts MORE than we could ever say.

:hangover:

[file83]

11. ...But let me TRY and explain what it feels like:

It's like having ALL these AT once:

Getting hit in the xiphoid process
Kicked in the shin
Charlie Horse
Funny Bone
Ice cream headache

All in the groin area at the same time, but 4x as strong.
It hurts pretty fucking bad.

[aQuArius]

5. yeah.... those big sissy's!!!

:hide:

[GOPisEvil]

6. I've been waiting for this.

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

47. : )

[Hugin]

7. *cringe*

*wince*

*assume reflexive protective posture*

*faint*

*clatter*

[Gormy Cuss]

12. And that would be the difference between this and labor.

Women don't have that instant self protective reaction because they know the pain of labor happens only after sufficient warning. A shot to the male genitalia on the other hand
could
happen
at
any
time
:rofl:

[Hugin]

15. Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night with a knee to the groin

Yeah, she's my sweetheart... But, sometimes I wonder!

[Mojambo]

89. Plus, they generally have the option of taking some pain killers before.

I wouldn't mind the shot to the nuts so much if someone stuck me with a needle full of morphine before hand.

[AlCzervik]

8. and they wouldn't last in hour if they had cramps and had to wear

nylons.

[Redstone]

9. Yes, it does.

Next question?

Redstone

[Merrick]

10. About 1,000 times as bad as giving birth

my hermaphrodite friend told me so

[file83]

14. Congratulations! What did you name it?

:rofl:

[eeyore]

13. Read my tale of woe here...

30. Youch

When I was in 7th grade in 1979, one of my friends got hit in the sack buy a high school kid on crutches. The high school kid came up, stood in front of him like he was going to talk to him, and whacked him in the nuts with the crutch. My friend immediately vomited all over the high school kid. It was hilarious then and I am laughing as I type this. Man that must have hurt.

[driver8]

16. I was pitching batting practice one day in high school and the kid

I was pitching to told me to throw as hard as I could. (I had a pretty decent fastball). So I wind up and let one fly and it is heading low and inside. Instead of stepping back out of the way, the guy tried to jump over the pitch. The ball hit him square in the nuts!

I heard this sound "thwack" and watched the poor guy drop to his knees. He started sweating and then puking. We finally got him up and into the locker room. He stayed home from school for three or four days and said his balls were swollen to twice their size. (He did end up going to the hospital.)

[file83]

19. I bet that kid wished he had worn a cup.... n/t

[driver8]

20. I think that those of us who witnessed this wished he had worn a cup! n/t

[Gatchaman]

17. I bet you're wrong...

just ask this guy

[LaraMN]

18. I think it really feels like an orgasm.

They're just milking it, for sympathy.

:evilgrin:

[Dangerously Amused]

27. Too funny!

:rofl:





I think you make me laugh every day!

[LaraMN]

31. Yay!

:loveya:

[Hardrada]

28. I'll milk it

for sympathy.

[bertha katzenengel]

21. How many balls are on a pool table?

Depends on how many guys are playing.

(From the old Hollywood Squares)

Now I'm really going to bed. :boring:

'night, all

[Cocoa]

26. what do you do with an elephant with three balls?

walk him and pitch to the giraffe.

[bertha katzenengel]

70. AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

:rofl:

[eyepaddle]

71. LOL, I never get tired of that joke!

:D

[SeattleGirl]

22. DA, you naughty girl!

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

41. I know!

:7

[Starbucks Anarchist]

23. Depends who's doing the hitting.

:popcorn:

[MrScorpio]

24. You're a sick puppy

Ballz is life

[Dangerously Amused]

29. Hey Mr. S!

Missed ya!


I AM a sick puppy, 'tis true, but one who is just teasing another thread.





To that I can only add, Ramsey Lewis' "The In Crowd" is playing on iTunes right now, so all I can do is smile and groove...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. That's a cool song.

:toast: to you for your good taste, DA!

[Dangerously Amused]

38. Yepper, I LOVE that song!

I think it is one of my all-time favorites. Series.


:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

42. I've bought about 30 CDs in the last two months.

:crazy:

[Dangerously Amused]

43. Do you have "Ramsey Lewis' Finest Hour"?

Dude, it is an AWESOME CD! I had a little David Sanborn on earlier, too. Nice. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

45. I have the Greatest Hits album.

I've bought damn near everything recently, though:

Curtis Mayfield
Johnny Cash
Marc Maron
Patton Oswalt
Tom Waits
Gorillaz
Beastie Boys
Allman Brothers
Art Blakey
Miles Davis

And a lot more I can't remember.

What are your favorite genres/artists, BTW?

[Dangerously Amused]

46. Oh geez. Name it, it's in iTunes and I Iove it:

Jazz.
Rock-a-billy.
New Age.
Medieval.
70's Rock and Metal.
80's Rock, Pop and Dance.
60's hippy music.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

49. Nice!

Here's mine.

Cool Jazz
Hard Bop

I've never heard Lawrence Welk, but I'd say I'm as comfortable listening to AC/DC as Henry Mancini. :)

[Dangerously Amused]

63. Disco?!

Um... we may have to reevaluate our relationship.


;)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. But I wanna "Do the Hustle" with you.

:evilgrin:

[Dangerously Amused]

74. How 'bout the Chicken Dance instead?

I'm much better at that one:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

85. Chicken, dog, cat, donkey, whatever you want.

;)

[immoderate]

78. Ooh! Just got that one.

Had his greatest hits on vinyl and tape. Had to have that stuff on CD. It's one of my favorite drivin' albums.

Others: (All greates hits here)
The Ventures
The Jazz Crusaders
Richard Wagner

--IMM

[Dangerously Amused]

81. Yep, and it seems like the longer I have it, the more often I listen to it

And everybody who hears it wants to know who it is. Just one of THOSE kinda jams.



Hey, I will check out some of the others you listed...

Thanks!

[immoderate]

83. the tracks to sample--

Ventures "Walk Don't Run" "Hawaii Five-Oh"
Jazz Crusaders "Freedom Sound" "Young Rabbits"
Wagner "Flight of the Valkyries"

These are things that make my car go zooooommm!

--IMM

[Dangerously Amused]

84. Thanks for the heads up.

:yourock:

[no name no slogan]

25. The HELL it don't

it's one of the worst things you can feel as a guy.

[Dangerously Amused]

34. I have neither balls nor childbirth under my belt,

...but I'll hazard a guess that each are exactly as painful as their respective "victims" claim them to be.

[Generic Brad]

32. Got Hit There With a Rock Once

I couldn't stand up on my own for a week. I've lived through car accidents that felt better.

[Lefty48197]

33. Getting kicked in the balls hurts as much as

having two babies at once, I'll bet.

[EstimatedProphet]

36. It doesn't

It hurts FAR MORE

[realisticphish]

37. Ever, say, stuck yourself with a needle?

It just hurts where you actually got poked, right?

Not so with groin injuries. The pain begins there, sure, but it then moves up your spine, into your fucking brain, and for a second, your mind goes blank with white-hot pain.

[hobo_baggins]

39. I wish women could live one day as a man!

that'd show them!

[Dangerously Amused]

40. .

:eyes:




















:P

[NMMNG]

51. We often say the same of men

When we are suffering from menstrual cramps or giving birth. :evilgrin:

The question is, do you get kicked in the balls for five days every month?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

52. I wish we could too...

and vice versa. But not for one day....for a year or so.
Then we should all live for a year or so as someone of a different race or sexual orientation. Then we should all morph into different animals.

By the time we got through all the creatures who need our compassion, we'd have croaked.

[petronius]

48. It hurts way more than we say,

we just try to hide some of the pain out of sheer manliness...

[Solon]

50. You know, the only time guys can cry in front of other guys...

is when we get hit in the balls, no shame, not even teasing, just sympathy, that should tell women something about the pain!!!!

[anarch]

54. I bet getting stabbed in the heart doesn't hurt

for very long.

[Xipe Totec]

55. So much for keeping your gender undeclared...

:popcorn:

[Dangerously Amused]

58. That's funny!

:)


I just keep it "undeclared" for the occasional freeper peepers. But people who know me around here are well aware of my gender, I think.

[Xipe Totec]

64. Thanks for being a good sport!

I just had to tease you a little bit...

For what it's worth, there's an indirect way to tell just how painful a kick in the nuts is for men:

My mother, who had six children and suffered from kidney stones said that passing a stone is just as painful as giving birth.

I have a male friend who has passed kidney stones, who said passing a stone is as painful as being kicked in the nuts continuously.

From this I surmise, that the intensity of the pain of being kicked in the nuts is just as bad as childbirth.

The good news for men is that it only lasts a few minutes, rather than hours and sometimes more than a day.

I cannot imagine being able to handle the pain of being kicked in the nuts for one solid day.

:scared:

[Call Me Wesley]

56. Hurt? What hurt?

[Dangerously Amused]

59. !

:rofl:



Dude, you are too funny!

[Call Me Wesley]

60. Heh heh.

[In_The_Wind]

57. Yikes!

:hide:
Who is the target?

[trackfan]

61. You lose the bet

[johnnie]

62. Crap

How did I miss this one last night?

[Dangerously Amused]

65. I don't know.

Dude, you HAD to see it coming...! :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4889401

[johnnie]

66. Oh... I was waiting for it

I'm surprised how many people seemed to think I was being serious..lol.

[Dangerously Amused]

67. Yeah, that surprised me, too.

It was kinda funny. Not like your popcorn smilies gave it away or anything... :eyes:




:)

[MikeDuffy]

68. Recall the US Open line caller who died

after he lost consciousness and severely hit his head after being hit by a serve (and a tennis ball is not that hard). I have felt close to passing out a time or two after a rising tennis ball hit me just wrong...

[Dangerously Amused]

75. I never heard of that incident.

But I do not doubt it.


Poor guy. :(

[eyepaddle]

69. No matter how you slice it, that headline is an attention getter!

Well played. :thumbsup:

For the record, yes it does.

[Dangerously Amused]

76. Thanks!

:7

[dpbrown]

72. Oh. Ow. Ow. I mean....ow.

That's a naughty low blow.


:puke:

[Dangerously Amused]

77. Why dp, I declare, you have the manliest scream I've ever heard.

[dpbrown]

88. I practice while waxing my chest

So I can be even smooooooother...


:hi:

[patcox2]

79. I've seen childbirth and I've taken a massive hit to the balls

It ain't even close. Have someone tear your balls off, that might be the equivalent of childbirth.

[Blue-Jay]

80. right.

And by "right" I mean "wrong".

[buddysmellgood]

91. Tear them off? I dunno. How about passing a softball through your penis?

[Strong Atheist]

86. Wouldn't know, have avoided that so far ... nt.

[Wetzelbill]

87. Ha! You cannot exaggerate how bad it hurts!

I blew my knee out and that wasn't as bad, in terms of short-term pain. The only thing I've felt that compared was I dislocated my shoulder over 20 times, and when that sucker pops out of the socket, you'd do anything to get rid of that pain. I have been told that a dislocated shoulder has been compared -by women who have had both - to a drug-free childbirth. Well, since I cannot birth a child, but have been smacked in the nuts and dislocated my shoulder, I can say that the Ball Shot is almost as bad. Not quite, but still pretty bad.
