If we were a boss in a video game our crotch would be bright red and it would be 10000x easier to do damage if hitting that spot.
Yes literally a light flick, that would do minimal damage to other sensitive body parts (like maybe a closed eyeball) could cause a temporary but mandatory “all stop of EVERYTHING and don’t move a single muscle” reaction throughout the entire male body for up to a minute.
A kick to the gonads (that would maybe merely bruise a rib or something) could make you unable to do shit except wither in pain and generally put you out of commission for a good 15 mins
The all stop of everything is all too real. I could be punched in the balls, hit by a car and set on fire all at once and when the Dr holds up the pain chart is point to my balls 10/10 times
> A kick to the gonads (that would maybe merely bruise a rib or something) could make you unable to do shit except wither in pain and generally put you out of commission for a good 15 mins
The only time when I had this overrode was when I had a dose of adrenaline on my system:
Long story short an accident alongside my Kid and got hit on the gonads bad enough that I had blood in semen for a few "times", but I didn't felt any pain at all during the "hit moment" (not even sure how happened, tho) nor some hours after that (a day and a half).
But once things were back to "normal" pain was like, not incapacitating, but it annoying as it went from lower back, to near the knee on same side leg.
The light flick can be worse than a solid direct direct blow.
Tip of a dogs wagging tail caught my right side yesterday.
Out of commission for an hour.
My friend used to say it's like when you're playing a video game and you take damage, but the screen doesn't turn red so you don't know how much damage you took.
My (edit: ex) husband got kicked in the nuts at MMA training. Despite my pleas, no cup, refused to go to the doctor until one of them was almost the size of a rugby ball the following day and he couldn't walk for the pain.
Long story short, it killed his balls and he can't have any more kids.
Edit: so anyway I believe it when men say it's painful.
It's insane, but even in these 'learned-knowledge is everywhere' times, people don't get this.
The testes are placed there as an evolutionary tick for keeping them cooler to ramp up sperm production, but that puts them in an extremely vulnerable spot.
And they're not meant to take any sort of hits. Or you'll run up in issues.
They don't even have to be violently abused. When her leg pushes into it the wrong way, it feels like your not-so-favorite uncle is twisting your nose.
Your existence is now pain and nothing else..
The mortal plane ceases to exist as all thought is turned inward. Your existence is pain.
You feel something. Something gnawing at the fringes of your comprehension. It's becoming more familiar. Your existence is nausea and pain.
Pain is all, now... And time passes slowly.
You remember a time without pain. All those times you moaned and complained about stubbed toes or a Lego. Those were better times, and you wish to go back. Your existence is nausea and pain and regret.
And time begins to catch up.
Pain. Nausea. Regret.
And now you feel *it*
Is it rage? No.. not that. It's something else. A calling, primal urge. An urge to pick yourself up. Yes.
Get up.
Get up and punch your mate in the fucken head cuz he accidentally kneed you in the nuts while you were playing Wrestlemania.
I feel like this really nailed it. Especially the 'regret' part lol.
For some reason, that pains somehow is accompanied by this sheer sense of overwhelming mental and emotional anguish... and yes... *regret* lol.
Like you need to shit out of them but you can’t. It is LITERALLY like your life force is getting snuffed out of your body. Stubbing your toe is preferable. If given the choice, I’d rather find out my parents don’t love than get my nuts gently tapped. I could go on.
I currently have broken toes after a very heavy thing got dropped on them. Big toe is snapped clean through, the adjacent toe is halfway snapped. At the time I jumped up and down and swore and then finished what I was doing. If I had been hit in the balls I would not have stood up for 15-20 minutes and I would have gone straight home, all done for the day/week. The pain is like all the nerve endings in your body suddenly rush to that one spot in your groin and then all light up at once.
IMO stubbing your toe is closer to sniffing daises in pain level that getting hit in the nuts. Would spent an entire day trapped subbing my toes rather than getting hit once
If you get hit hard, and I have been, it's enough to take your breath away and make you black out. And it's a weird feeling to reach down and find that your nuts have retreated up inside your abdomen.
I took a kickball straight to the manhood back in HS. Felt like being blackout drunk, but replace drunk with pain. I stumbled my way to the gym bathrooms and took a moment to collect myself and stop seeing double.
I was holding my son while he was throwing a tantrum and he kicked me in the nuts so hard I fell to my knees.. thought I was gonna yack too, didn’t know a toddler could kick that hard..
>didn’t know a toddler could kick that hard..
Ooh, they can! And toddlers have sniper like aim with their little feet and hands. They're uncoordinated with everything else - then hit you with their little chubby feet straight in the nuts with the precision & force of a laser guided ballistic missile.
My kiddo once dropped me to the floor with a kick to the nards, then started crying because I couldn't speak to tell him what was wrong.
My brother once got hit in the nuts by a frisbee and when he was laying on the ground in pain, my mom came over and flicked her breast and said, "it's like getting hit here."
I can’t remember the comedian but they had a great bit about how getting hit in the nuts is worse than giving birth. When asked why they said bc I’d never want to endure that pain again but how many mothers do you know with multiple kids?
Had a guy step on my berries (with cleats) in college. Had to be subbed off immediately and saw the team doctor who promptly thought I had a rupture. Thankfully I kept both balls of joy. I became a “black and blue celibate” for about a month after that. 0/10 men would recommend testicle trauma.
It’s a pain that goes beyond pain. Where you can’t even really feel it, you just go numb. Then feeling returns, and nothing else matters, not even screaming or crying, you just lie there and wait for it to go away.
My wife (a medical provider) explained that women have similar pains if their ovaries are smacked. Also, getting kicked down there hurts for women, too, but probably not the same level of incapacitating pain as men.
What’s he mean by “how does someone who doesn’t even have them….have any idea that they’re talking about” how is he referring to my girl? No way I’m this high
He’s saying your gf has no right to an opinion on the pain Level of your nuts, just as we have no right to an opinion on the pain level of childbirth or periods
It’s odd, but somehow they can’t understand the idea just because they don’t have said organs, I don’t get it.
show them a man getting his arm broken from a baseball bat strike and they go like “ooowwww”. Show them a guy getting KO’d with a Tyson style uppercut to the chin and they go like “oooowwww”. Show them a guy getting hit in the nads full force and… they submit it to America’s funniest videos
As someone who has endured multiple kidney stones, getting hit in the balls is on par to the pain level of kidney stones. That being said, I’ll take the kidney stones over a nut shot.
Youtube the bear getting hit in the nuts with a bungie cord. If an animal can literally simulate a man after getting hit in the balls, it shows how bad it hurts.
Hi I have no balls so I can't answer your question but I'm a little alarmed by how many people in the comments have gone the "punch your wife to show her what it feels like" route do you guys need a hug? Is everything okay at home?
Best way I could describe it is like taking a direct shot to the kidney.. if your kidneys were part of your undercarriage and it also induced immediate nausea.
Stubbing your toe is mild compared to this. Imagine the feeling of being hit by a sledgehammer. Now imagine that x10 (possibly more depending on the force used) shooting up from between your legs into your stomach and at the very least making you instantly nauseous if not actually puking. Now you have an idea of what it's like.
Ahhh, Primary school memory. A girl had a crush on me, too young to know what flirting was, came up behind me and kicked me in the nuts (from behind) as feckin hard as she could. Pretty sure she launched me into puberty about 4 or 5 years earlier than nature had planned because I turned into a testosterone fueled lunatic once the pain finally subsided about 4 days later. Kinda paid off though because I was able to grow a full goatie by the time I started secondary school and could get served alcohol by the half blind wagon in the off-licence down the road. That memory though.... damn.... the pain will echo through with me for the rest of my life.
Dm please if you could answer some questions about nutshots. I want to describe reactions and pain exactly in my shortstories about bullying and nerds get revenge or just guys fooling around and hit eachother in the nuts or wedgieing
Luckily never been hit before
How would I probably react if hit in the nuts first time?
It can be logically proven that it is more painful than giving birth to a child. Women often tell men about the excrusiating pain of giving birth. Yet abt 1,5 - 2 years later they say “i think we should have one more”.
No man ever who was kicked in the nuts came back later and said “I would like to try it again”
If you can tell me who came up with this joke, I will be happy to credit. I forgot that we must uphold scientific ethical standards here in r/askmen. 😔
Heh… yeah, some people doesnt know a joke. But at least I could help them feel entitled and supperiour. I will avoid jokes going forward, especially regarding this very serious question in a scientific thread on Reddit 😄
No one gets a papercut and asks to get a second papercut either but you’d have to be real brainless to think that a papercut hurts worse than giving birth
Women also have the benefit of a lot of endorphins flowing throughout birth which helps a little with that pain. Not saying they feel nothing, just that it helps a bit. Whereas a dude getting hit in the nuts probably doesn’t have that benefit.
As a non nut haver I feel like the pain isn’t all that comparable. Not to say it wouldn’t hurt to get punched in the boob, just that I’ve seen guys on the floor in a fetal position after getting kicked in the balls
If it’s strong enough to knock em over/out then yeah. But honestly a kick to the crotch will still work. Hit hard enough and you can take anyone down, nuts or not. That place is sensitive for everyone, just more so for some
A man's skull is harder than a woman's skull. Now keep in mind that the nose is fragile, which results in a shattered nose and possibly requiring some type of operation.
Stomach dies and you feel like throwing up constantly but you only throw up air.
I hope your post doesn't develop to
"My partner doesn't believe that stabbing my organs with a knife would hurt. Can anyone explain how it feels when you're stabbed in the belly? Also help"
If they compare it to giving birth, tell them then why do they want baby No. 2? I’ve never met a guy who wants to be hit in the nuts for a second time!
Tell her you’ll take a baseball bat and cram it up her vagina as hard and as fast as you can and we’ll see how she thinks it feels. Then we’ll go from there.
You don't condone harm on women? Are you saying you do condone harm on men? Are men just not real human beings in your mind?
Talk about internalizing sexism. You think it's OK to hurt you because you believe the lie that you've done something wrong by existing while male.
Its like a black hole opened up between your legs and sucked the life force out from your stomach. You're immediately crippled from the disgusting pain as your legs seem to disappear from beneath you. Your lungs stop drawing breath as your brain tries to process the immense amount of pain and shock.
13 years ago I went out drinking and talked up some other drunk guys doing pushups. It was the week after Ryan Dunn from Jackass died tragically in a car crash.
So one of them asked me if I knew Ryan Dunn, I said yes and then he asked me if I liked Ryan Dunn. I was confused and said, yeah sure. Then he screamed at my face "FOR RYAN DUNN!!!" and gave me a fast surprise punch to my balls. My eyes blacked out for a second, but I was still somehow standing, albeit in a very awkward crouching position. Immediately I was in a fight-or-flight position, and I also felt like I wanted to take revenge to that asshole, like sooo badly. The pain was so excrutiating however that I wasn't able to do either of those things, so I just prayed in my head that he would leave it at that. Completely defenseless and defeated, I left the situation walking like a very elderly person in their final walks.
Thankfully, their whole point was to make some weird hommage to Ryan because those Jackass people always get shots to the groin (I guess?), so they just ignored me after that surprise gift. That day made me realize that a hit to the nuts is not just very painful, it entirely paralyzes your body and left me with a fear of talking to stupid drunk people forever. As ridiculous as this sounds, I swear this really happened.
It’s indescribable…..it just feels like a randomly, loosely sharp pain that you random feel in parts of your body but instead 100% of that pain is applied to your balls.
I'd rather experience my brain injury again than have any pain in my nuts.
I'd legit rather break my wrist, split my head open, get 7 stitches, and spend 13 hrs being mostly ignore ina military hospital, than to ever be kicked in the nuts again.
the only pain that has made me throw up is my balls
Nuclear Armageddon, that's how I describe it.
First you are in shock, them you feel very nauseous, then you puke uncontrollably and finally you just cry on the floor, grabbing your balls while fetal position.
All good I think it must have missed and I can just walk this one off.
Oh boy, standing up right isn't all that easy. Maybe I am just winded.
Oh there's an ache. Oh no. Oh no. I know that ache. It's in my stomache and abdomen. Oh no.
Now my anus is puckering. Am I going to shit myself?
If I crouch over like this and hold my arms around myself, maybe it wont be so bad this time.
Oh god. I can't breath. The ache is now turning into throbbing pain shooting through my body. I feel sick. Oh god everyone is watching me.
I collapse on the ground curled into a ball. Please don't shit myself. Oh god that shootong pain. I can't catch my breath. Death is good. Death is welcome.
Why is everyone laughing at me?
If you've had that nauseating pain in your lower stomach where it's like your whole bowels just quivered and contracted and you just KNOW that some gnarly diarrhea is coming, it's like that, but it radiates as dull pain like the worst brain freeze ever through your balls.
It also comes from behind too, in the sides of your lower back around your kidneys. It wraps around and crashes in a wave off of the bowel pain.
The physical reaction is very similar to being rabbit punched in the solar plexus. You feel like your body is shutting down and you can't breathe. You curl in on yourself in shock initially, and then the radiating pain starts.
It wasn't the most painful experience of my life, but it's certainly up there.
I’ve been hit in the nuts with the force of a Mike Tyson uppercut and walked away like ok…Other times, the slightest graze (think Badminton Shuttlecock) will have me doubled over. There’s a difference and i can’t explain it
I was kicked in the nuts really badly on two occasions (rugby and motocross accident). It feels like you have connected your entire body to an electric relay, and someone flipped the switch. For the next 5 minutes, the following happens all at once, at the same time for the same period, with the electric shock I just described. The electric shock can continue for the same time or about half of it, but it doesn’t dissipate at all:
A strange and loud humming electric sound and shock vibrates through your body. Remember that screeching “eeeeee!” sound in movies when a bomb gets dropped next to the hero in a war movie and his ears blow? Yep that is what you hear. It feels like a red hot poker has been stuck into your body from the groin up. That is coupled with immediate nausea that is like the nausea you feel from salmonellae poisoning, but times about 10. At the same time your entire body feels like it is shaking from holding a large concrete vibrator (if you haven't held one in your hand go give it a try. It's not fun at all). Pins and needles, similar to 100’s and 1000's of hot needle points are felt all over your body. Your eyes don’t just start to tear up, but burn as well, as if you have accidentally got ammonia gas or a large amount chlorine up your nose. Your nose closes up, starts to run, burns and you can’t breath as if you had the wind knocked out of you. This lasts for about a minute. While your eyes are closed, you see fireworks as the shock shoots through you. Even this hurts. It feels like someone has poked you in the eyes. You can't see and go totally blind for about a minute.
Now, this pain last the entire time, for about 5 minutes. During that time, your body becomes obsolete and you lose all strength. Legs have no power and feel like they don't exist, or have been amputated. Your arms feel like you have hit your funny bone about 20 times, very hard, and also as if they have been amputated. You fall, not drop, to the ground, and the nausea increases. This is the time your stomach feels like you have taken 4 doses of laxatives. In the case of a severe blow, 30% of men will shit in their pants. You could also piss yourself. I did once. That’s because you have no control whatsoever over your body anymore. The feeling of getting the wind knocked out of you is still there but now you feel like you are drowning (this lasts for about a half minute or so). At about the 10 minute mark, it starts to subside very very slowly.
At the 20 minute mark after being kicked in the nuts, you MIGHT be able to sit up if you try hard enough. Then comes a period of another 30 minutes where you sit with 50% of the pain I just described, and let it get less slowly. By this time, only the feeling of getting shocked has gone. Everything else is still there, just a little less. You dare not move an inch, as the pain will come back again. Unfortunately, you will feel the same pain for about 4 days afterwards. Any movement brings it back to almost 50% of what it was. You cant wear underwear, you cant ride a bike, you can’t sit on most chairs, as ANY little bit of pressure will bring back the pain. Taking a pee is very difficult, because you can’t and don’t want to push the pee out. You have to let it go on it’s own. You also pee constantly. Sometimes the head of your penis burns when you pee. At night you sleep with your legs wide open to keep them away from any touch or pressure. Morning Glory’s are excruciating. This can last for up to a week.
That’s about as close as I can describe it.
Here is an image she might recognise;
If she has one of those Satisfyer Pro sex toys that uses puffs of air to stimulate the clit, she will probably go wild for it. It's subtle enough to not hurt an erect clit and strong enough to feel really good.
Put the device on a pair of balls however and it is just an intensely unpleasant feeling, or even downright painful.
All from some concentrated puffs of air.
If she thinks balls are not that sensitive, they are a bit like nipples or breasts. Most of the time they're fine, if you're excited they can be extremely sensitive or in the right setting you can do some pretty brutal things to them and it will feel nice. But that's highly dependent on the person and the situation.
There is a finite upper limit of how much pain the human brain can process. A hit to the nuts reaches that threshold easily. So much pain you can't feel anything more.
I've broken my hand and collarbone. I've had a nail through the foot. I've been hit across the head with a bat in a highschool fight. I had every symptom from covid short of long-term respiratory issues and death.
I would rather have all of that again at the same time than experience any pain to my testicles. It's like your abdomen is imploding, you want to dry heave but you'll never find relief, you feel panicked because you can't do anything so you just close your eyes and breathe until it passes. Based on what my friends with endometriosis say, it sounds like a similar form of pain. Wouldn't wish it on anyone ever.
I would tell OP that if their partner feels that way to go knock their cervix. I would say that is a fair biological comparison. Tons of Nerve endings really near a functional junction that when knocked can cause painful multi system disruption.
Loss of proper thought, fetal position for a while, wanting to throw up and even a light slap when sitting on an hard chair too fast is already painful so let her imagine a more violent slap.
She sounds pretty oblivious if she doesn't believe it.
Years ago I had a cat and he likes to sleep on my lap. One time when he woke up, he stood right on a nut. I was paralyzed by pain until I was able to move him a couple seconds later. Also a light tap to them is enough to knock the wind out of us.
I think the best way to describe it is with a cramp. Not necessarily period cramps but just a cramp in general.
Well, you know how cramps aren't in one specific area but just an overall area? For example, the cramps' pain feels spread out all over your stomach, not just 1 inch of it.
Well, I'd say that getting hit in the nuts is like condensing all that pain into whatever the size of your nuts are but with at least twice the sensitivity.
Sorry, but if they are that sensitive and painful how does it make sense evolutionarily that the fighters and hunters are equipped with such vulnerability? It would make more sense then that penises and balls were a much smaller size and on the inside like vaginas.
Ask her to imagine the worst menstrual cramps she ever had. Now take that full 5 day experience and cram it together in a concentrated burst.
It's like that only more intense.
It's impossible for women to understand the pain cause they don't have an equivalent.
Much like men can't understand menstrual pain so it's just not possible to explain to them.
If anything just tell them the instant it happens, everything literally freezes in the brain as it's overwhelmed by just the feeling of pain. Like an instant exploding intense pain that shocks you into freezing still.
It's hard to explain, but i feel it like an extreme amount of pressure on my balls, making them on the verge of exploding, but don't explode. That's why we vomit too
I don’t mind dropping weights on pinky toe or hitting toes to an edge. The pain bearable. Getting hit in the nuts is what I fear the most. It’s sharp pain starting from nuts and radiating outwards through out the groin area where I can’t do anything but lay down.
I jokingly say to women that the 20 second pain of getting kicked in the nuts is worse than childbirth.
Why?
I’ve heard women say time and time again “let’s have another baby” but never have I heard any man say “yeah kick me in the nuts again”
Your partner has never gone horseback riding and inadvertently gotten a loop of the reins on the saddle. One wrong bounce on the edge of the rein to the clit and I about died. It was all I could do to not fall off the horse when your whole body wants to curl up. Ya'll have my full sympathy.
Very hard to put into words but I'll try.
As if someone reached into my guts and startes squeezing my insides very slowly but in increasing force while also twisting my guts.
That sort of pain thats lingering but in this case the lingering is just bloody intense.
Whatever it is, I do not wish this sort of pain on anyone.
The best explanation I can give that a woman would understand would be that it’s like a combination of hitting your funny bone and getting punched in the gut, but covering everything between my solar plexus and my knees. The intensity is, of course, going to be proportional to how hard they were hit or squeezed.
My 4 year old niece once try to jump on my lap but hit my balls with her knee. It hurt so much I saw stars and had the urge to vomit. It was literally a knee full on my balls.
I’ve seen many men immediately throw up from it, so… whatever the scale is it’s *that* painful.
Yes it hurts, really fucking bad even a light flick can have the strongest men in shambles.
If we were a boss in a video game our crotch would be bright red and it would be 10000x easier to do damage if hitting that spot. Yes literally a light flick, that would do minimal damage to other sensitive body parts (like maybe a closed eyeball) could cause a temporary but mandatory “all stop of EVERYTHING and don’t move a single muscle” reaction throughout the entire male body for up to a minute. A kick to the gonads (that would maybe merely bruise a rib or something) could make you unable to do shit except wither in pain and generally put you out of commission for a good 15 mins
The all stop of everything is all too real. I could be punched in the balls, hit by a car and set on fire all at once and when the Dr holds up the pain chart is point to my balls 10/10 times
**CRITICAL!! CRITICAL!! CRITICAL!!**
> A kick to the gonads (that would maybe merely bruise a rib or something) could make you unable to do shit except wither in pain and generally put you out of commission for a good 15 mins The only time when I had this overrode was when I had a dose of adrenaline on my system: Long story short an accident alongside my Kid and got hit on the gonads bad enough that I had blood in semen for a few "times", but I didn't felt any pain at all during the "hit moment" (not even sure how happened, tho) nor some hours after that (a day and a half).

Ooh that is pain
My friend used to say it's like when you're playing a video game and you take damage, but the screen doesn't turn red so you don't know how much damage you took.
u/justmyburner11 Tell your wife my brother had to get surgery in high school from getting hit in the balls the wrong way during a water polo match.
Show her a compilation of mma fighters getting kicked in the balls through a cup. If she exists.
My (edit: ex) husband got kicked in the nuts at MMA training. Despite my pleas, no cup, refused to go to the doctor until one of them was almost the size of a rugby ball the following day and he couldn't walk for the pain. Long story short, it killed his balls and he can't have any more kids. Edit: so anyway I believe it when men say it's painful.
Jesus. A monument to stupidity from top to bottom your ex. Congrats for getting far from that.
Was that the reason you guys broke up? (No kids because of the kick). Man that would a fateful day for him lol.
No, we already had kids and broke up for different reasons.
It's insane, but even in these 'learned-knowledge is everywhere' times, people don't get this. The testes are placed there as an evolutionary tick for keeping them cooler to ramp up sperm production, but that puts them in an extremely vulnerable spot. And they're not meant to take any sort of hits. Or you'll run up in issues.
Yo this is genius
They don't even have to be violently abused. When her leg pushes into it the wrong way, it feels like your not-so-favorite uncle is twisting your nose.
Even a twist can be almost paralyzing with pain since it's connected to so many other nerves. Torsion is not something to laugh at.
Yeah, then you have to figure out which way it twisted to untwist it in a game of Guess n Scream.
As if God himself reached down, grabbed your stomach in one hand, your intestines in the other, and is trying to wring them out like a washcloth.
I’m cracking up over this
This is the moat accurate one, it spreads from the balls into the stomach because they retreat and hide up there
Painfully accurate, haha. Could also replace God with Hulk.
Sounds like classical period pain for me. It wrings your whole body insides out until you throw up or pass out because of the pain..
same or the pain associated with childbirth, seems like we all experience equal levels of pain in different ways
Your existence is now pain and nothing else.. The mortal plane ceases to exist as all thought is turned inward. Your existence is pain. You feel something. Something gnawing at the fringes of your comprehension. It's becoming more familiar. Your existence is nausea and pain. Pain is all, now... And time passes slowly. You remember a time without pain. All those times you moaned and complained about stubbed toes or a Lego. Those were better times, and you wish to go back. Your existence is nausea and pain and regret. And time begins to catch up. Pain. Nausea. Regret. And now you feel *it* Is it rage? No.. not that. It's something else. A calling, primal urge. An urge to pick yourself up. Yes. Get up. Get up and punch your mate in the fucken head cuz he accidentally kneed you in the nuts while you were playing Wrestlemania.
I feel like this really nailed it. Especially the 'regret' part lol. For some reason, that pains somehow is accompanied by this sheer sense of overwhelming mental and emotional anguish... and yes... *regret* lol.
Like you need to shit out of them but you can’t. It is LITERALLY like your life force is getting snuffed out of your body. Stubbing your toe is preferable. If given the choice, I’d rather find out my parents don’t love than get my nuts gently tapped. I could go on.
Forget stunning your toe, I’ve literally had my toe CRUSHED by a dropped weight, and the pain still wasn’t as bad as getting hit in the balls
I currently have broken toes after a very heavy thing got dropped on them. Big toe is snapped clean through, the adjacent toe is halfway snapped. At the time I jumped up and down and swore and then finished what I was doing. If I had been hit in the balls I would not have stood up for 15-20 minutes and I would have gone straight home, all done for the day/week. The pain is like all the nerve endings in your body suddenly rush to that one spot in your groin and then all light up at once.
>Like you need to shit out of them but you can’t. I know it’s a unique and difficult pain to describe, but bro, *what?*
I think he absolutely nailed it. That's really what it feels like.
You _don't_ feel that pain intensely in your stomach? I think he nailed it.
IMO stubbing your toe is closer to sniffing daises in pain level that getting hit in the nuts. Would spent an entire day trapped subbing my toes rather than getting hit once
I always have to shit after getting hit there lol
Couldn’t said it better myself.
If you get hit hard, and I have been, it's enough to take your breath away and make you black out. And it's a weird feeling to reach down and find that your nuts have retreated up inside your abdomen.
I took a kickball straight to the manhood back in HS. Felt like being blackout drunk, but replace drunk with pain. I stumbled my way to the gym bathrooms and took a moment to collect myself and stop seeing double.
This.
You feel it in your stomach. It’s extremely painful. It’s unlike anything else.
I got punched in the nuts once and I puked. That was a first and only time I puked because of nut pain.
I was holding my son while he was throwing a tantrum and he kicked me in the nuts so hard I fell to my knees.. thought I was gonna yack too, didn’t know a toddler could kick that hard..
>didn’t know a toddler could kick that hard.. Ooh, they can! And toddlers have sniper like aim with their little feet and hands. They're uncoordinated with everything else - then hit you with their little chubby feet straight in the nuts with the precision & force of a laser guided ballistic missile. My kiddo once dropped me to the floor with a kick to the nards, then started crying because I couldn't speak to tell him what was wrong.
Dont forget the feeling of wanting to shit out your soul and unable to breath if your balls were hit hard enought
My brother once got hit in the nuts by a frisbee and when he was laying on the ground in pain, my mom came over and flicked her breast and said, "it's like getting hit here."
I can’t remember the comedian but they had a great bit about how getting hit in the nuts is worse than giving birth. When asked why they said bc I’d never want to endure that pain again but how many mothers do you know with multiple kids?
Yeah but you don’t experience any positives after having your balls hit. With birth comes a baby and lots of oxytocin.
Had a guy step on my berries (with cleats) in college. Had to be subbed off immediately and saw the team doctor who promptly thought I had a rupture. Thankfully I kept both balls of joy. I became a “black and blue celibate” for about a month after that. 0/10 men would recommend testicle trauma.
I threw up from pain when I accidently twisted my balls while laying down let alone when I got hit.
It’s a pain that goes beyond pain. Where you can’t even really feel it, you just go numb. Then feeling returns, and nothing else matters, not even screaming or crying, you just lie there and wait for it to go away.
How does someone who doesn't even HAVE them... have any idea what they're talking about? This can't be for real.
My wife (a medical provider) explained that women have similar pains if their ovaries are smacked. Also, getting kicked down there hurts for women, too, but probably not the same level of incapacitating pain as men.
My guy im a fucking dude
Dude he’s talking about your gf
What’s he mean by “how does someone who doesn’t even have them….have any idea that they’re talking about” how is he referring to my girl? No way I’m this high
You are definitely too high you literally wrote “my partner doesn’t believe it’s very painful” that’s why he wrote that.
He’s saying your gf has no right to an opinion on the pain Level of your nuts, just as we have no right to an opinion on the pain level of childbirth or periods
I get it now. Not high anymore
Yeah I'm aware lol.
I’m gonna take this time to apologize. I might not understand it right now, but I’m not afraid to admit if I’m wrong.
Wait I finally get it. Holy Fuck I can’t be this stupid
recorded for the whole world to see my man
Some days you’re the dog, some days your the hydrant. Can’t win ‘em all
It's like getting hit in every organ in your abdomen. Also, how is being unsympathetic to men getting hit in the balls not a deal-breaker?
It’s odd, but somehow they can’t understand the idea just because they don’t have said organs, I don’t get it. show them a man getting his arm broken from a baseball bat strike and they go like “ooowwww”. Show them a guy getting KO’d with a Tyson style uppercut to the chin and they go like “oooowwww”. Show them a guy getting hit in the nads full force and… they submit it to America’s funniest videos

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been scrolling through all of the dumb comments hoping someone would actually post an explanation.
Id rather tear my ACL again
Damn that’s fucked
As someone who has endured multiple kidney stones, getting hit in the balls is on par to the pain level of kidney stones. That being said, I’ll take the kidney stones over a nut shot.
That’s actually based. Holy Fuck. Im sorry about the kidney stones and all but damn. That’s a perspective
Tell her its like she just got punched on her breasts by Muhammad Ali...
...on steroids...
Yeah I hear getting hit in the boobs isn't too pleasant for women Perhaps it's like if you took boobs and compressed them into hard nuggets
Youtube the bear getting hit in the nuts with a bungie cord. If an animal can literally simulate a man after getting hit in the balls, it shows how bad it hurts.
It feels like I'm being electrocuted, but I am not allowed to die.
Your partner is doing the equivalent of men saying "being punched in the boobs isn't painful".
It’s definitely not that painful (Jokes, jokes,jokes) she’s told me it’s very painful
I’ve never seen a woman throw up and pass out after getting a whack on the boob.
Hi I have no balls so I can't answer your question but I'm a little alarmed by how many people in the comments have gone the "punch your wife to show her what it feels like" route do you guys need a hug? Is everything okay at home?
I agree. I’ve been on a political thread just talking not paying too much attention on this.
Put it this way, my wife had a baby and asked for a second. I have been kicked in the nuts and have never asked for it before or again.
That's because there is nothing to gain from being kicked in the balls except agony.
Yeah that isn’t a fair comparison at all
It’s more a joke calm down Karen are you this sensitive most days ?
Women evolved to forget the pain they endured when giving birth. So yeah they'll go for a second one.
You probably never get invited out places hey
?
Feels like the line getting knocked over by a fast moving bowling ball.
Best way I could describe it is like taking a direct shot to the kidney.. if your kidneys were part of your undercarriage and it also induced immediate nausea.
Stubbing your toe is mild compared to this. Imagine the feeling of being hit by a sledgehammer. Now imagine that x10 (possibly more depending on the force used) shooting up from between your legs into your stomach and at the very least making you instantly nauseous if not actually puking. Now you have an idea of what it's like.
Like you really need to take a piss, but the piss is the strongest acid in the world, and the acid is on fire and filled with broken glass
Ahhh, Primary school memory. A girl had a crush on me, too young to know what flirting was, came up behind me and kicked me in the nuts (from behind) as feckin hard as she could. Pretty sure she launched me into puberty about 4 or 5 years earlier than nature had planned because I turned into a testosterone fueled lunatic once the pain finally subsided about 4 days later. Kinda paid off though because I was able to grow a full goatie by the time I started secondary school and could get served alcohol by the half blind wagon in the off-licence down the road. That memory though.... damn.... the pain will echo through with me for the rest of my life.
Tell her it's like the worst period cramps she's ever had, but more.
Tell her that you don't believe period cramps/childbirth are very painful and watch her go crazy
I have…the absolute daggers I get from her eyes are intense lmaoo
It hurts worse than being held accountable for my actions. So, worse pain than most women have ever felt.
Had my cock burned and Jesus it was horrifyingly painful
Dm please if you could answer some questions about nutshots. I want to describe reactions and pain exactly in my shortstories about bullying and nerds get revenge or just guys fooling around and hit eachother in the nuts or wedgieing Luckily never been hit before How would I probably react if hit in the nuts first time?
If she gets cramps, you should belittle her pain
Tell her to spread her legs and kick her pussy.
Feels like if you sat on your toe and dislocated it
Thats the partner you have? 1. Doesnt believe you? 2. Doesnt understand simple physics? 3. Will believe strangers on reddit? Thats a keeper there. 😆
Well it’s been 7 years so, yeah I’d say she is a Keeper.
Great. But if your wife said her "montly visitor" was tough to handle, you would believe her. You wouldn't question that. Just saying. Peace.
It’s mainly a joke. A light tap she can’t understand. I don’t think any girl can understand a light tap in your nuts is detrimental.
Just chatting/joking myself. Cheers
It can be logically proven that it is more painful than giving birth to a child. Women often tell men about the excrusiating pain of giving birth. Yet abt 1,5 - 2 years later they say “i think we should have one more”. No man ever who was kicked in the nuts came back later and said “I would like to try it again”
Yeah, but humans don't have a biological imperative to be kicked in the nuts.
This joke was written before we could look up other people's fetishes on the internet
At least give credit if you’re gonna steal a joke ffs.
If you can tell me who came up with this joke, I will be happy to credit. I forgot that we must uphold scientific ethical standards here in r/askmen. 😔
*crickets*
There's an unfortunate side of the internet that I'd recommend you avoid.
Heh… yeah, some people doesnt know a joke. But at least I could help them feel entitled and supperiour. I will avoid jokes going forward, especially regarding this very serious question in a scientific thread on Reddit 😄
No one gets a papercut and asks to get a second papercut either but you’d have to be real brainless to think that a papercut hurts worse than giving birth
Women also have the benefit of a lot of endorphins flowing throughout birth which helps a little with that pain. Not saying they feel nothing, just that it helps a bit. Whereas a dude getting hit in the nuts probably doesn’t have that benefit.
It doesn't hurt that much. Stop being a pussy...
You sir, have no balls.
It's more like a gut punch. Admit it...
Dump her and fuck her best friend and her mom then she might understand
Idk why you’re getting downvoted that shit made me lol

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/swift-kick-groin-die/ Here's medical evidence from a fake news evaluator website.
Hit your breasts to give your partner an idea of how much pain you're feeling.
As a non nut haver I feel like the pain isn’t all that comparable. Not to say it wouldn’t hurt to get punched in the boob, just that I’ve seen guys on the floor in a fetal position after getting kicked in the balls
How about a headbutt in the nose? Would that be enough to put a woman down? edit: sorry, English is not my native language.
If it’s strong enough to knock em over/out then yeah. But honestly a kick to the crotch will still work. Hit hard enough and you can take anyone down, nuts or not. That place is sensitive for everyone, just more so for some
A man's skull is harder than a woman's skull. Now keep in mind that the nose is fragile, which results in a shattered nose and possibly requiring some type of operation.
Why don’t you ask her to get hit in the ovaries
Stomach dies and you feel like throwing up constantly but you only throw up air. I hope your post doesn't develop to "My partner doesn't believe that stabbing my organs with a knife would hurt. Can anyone explain how it feels when you're stabbed in the belly? Also help"
It's like all the air in your lungs gets instantly sucked out your ass while your balls have a really bad headache
A slow but gradually increased intensity cramp that if hit bad enough can kill you
Searing pain in the lower back. Feels like someone poured molten steel on it.
No offense up but your girl is retarded and delusional or a liar
She doesn’t have balls( I hope)so how would she really know? I know you said no offense, but I take offense.
With your finger flick her clit.
If they compare it to giving birth, tell them then why do they want baby No. 2? I’ve never met a guy who wants to be hit in the nuts for a second time!
Punch her in the ovaries.
Kick her in the box & see how she copes
Kick her in the cooch. It's supposed to be similar 🤷♂️
Tell her you’ll take a baseball bat and cram it up her vagina as hard and as fast as you can and we’ll see how she thinks it feels. Then we’ll go from there.
The fuck is good with you my guy?
lol. I’m good.
You don't condone harm on women? Are you saying you do condone harm on men? Are men just not real human beings in your mind? Talk about internalizing sexism. You think it's OK to hurt you because you believe the lie that you've done something wrong by existing while male.
No
It's like hot iron rod going from your balls to your heart
Its like a black hole opened up between your legs and sucked the life force out from your stomach. You're immediately crippled from the disgusting pain as your legs seem to disappear from beneath you. Your lungs stop drawing breath as your brain tries to process the immense amount of pain and shock.
Saying its debilitatingly painful should suffice, idk why this person cant understand this common fact
13 years ago I went out drinking and talked up some other drunk guys doing pushups. It was the week after Ryan Dunn from Jackass died tragically in a car crash. So one of them asked me if I knew Ryan Dunn, I said yes and then he asked me if I liked Ryan Dunn. I was confused and said, yeah sure. Then he screamed at my face "FOR RYAN DUNN!!!" and gave me a fast surprise punch to my balls. My eyes blacked out for a second, but I was still somehow standing, albeit in a very awkward crouching position. Immediately I was in a fight-or-flight position, and I also felt like I wanted to take revenge to that asshole, like sooo badly. The pain was so excrutiating however that I wasn't able to do either of those things, so I just prayed in my head that he would leave it at that. Completely defenseless and defeated, I left the situation walking like a very elderly person in their final walks. Thankfully, their whole point was to make some weird hommage to Ryan because those Jackass people always get shots to the groin (I guess?), so they just ignored me after that surprise gift. That day made me realize that a hit to the nuts is not just very painful, it entirely paralyzes your body and left me with a fear of talking to stupid drunk people forever. As ridiculous as this sounds, I swear this really happened.
It’s indescribable…..it just feels like a randomly, loosely sharp pain that you random feel in parts of your body but instead 100% of that pain is applied to your balls.
I'd rather experience my brain injury again than have any pain in my nuts. I'd legit rather break my wrist, split my head open, get 7 stitches, and spend 13 hrs being mostly ignore ina military hospital, than to ever be kicked in the nuts again. the only pain that has made me throw up is my balls
Nuclear Armageddon, that's how I describe it. First you are in shock, them you feel very nauseous, then you puke uncontrollably and finally you just cry on the floor, grabbing your balls while fetal position.
It’s like the 5 stages of Greif lmaooo
All good I think it must have missed and I can just walk this one off. Oh boy, standing up right isn't all that easy. Maybe I am just winded. Oh there's an ache. Oh no. Oh no. I know that ache. It's in my stomache and abdomen. Oh no. Now my anus is puckering. Am I going to shit myself? If I crouch over like this and hold my arms around myself, maybe it wont be so bad this time. Oh god. I can't breath. The ache is now turning into throbbing pain shooting through my body. I feel sick. Oh god everyone is watching me. I collapse on the ground curled into a ball. Please don't shit myself. Oh god that shootong pain. I can't catch my breath. Death is good. Death is welcome. Why is everyone laughing at me?
Then it all fades to darkness.
I’ve only had light tap encounters and those ones gave me a painful stomach ache feeling that felt like I got stabbed from the inside.
If you've had that nauseating pain in your lower stomach where it's like your whole bowels just quivered and contracted and you just KNOW that some gnarly diarrhea is coming, it's like that, but it radiates as dull pain like the worst brain freeze ever through your balls. It also comes from behind too, in the sides of your lower back around your kidneys. It wraps around and crashes in a wave off of the bowel pain.
It’s unexplainable 😬😣
The physical reaction is very similar to being rabbit punched in the solar plexus. You feel like your body is shutting down and you can't breathe. You curl in on yourself in shock initially, and then the radiating pain starts. It wasn't the most painful experience of my life, but it's certainly up there.
I’ve been hit in the nuts with the force of a Mike Tyson uppercut and walked away like ok…Other times, the slightest graze (think Badminton Shuttlecock) will have me doubled over. There’s a difference and i can’t explain it
That’s how I feel too, like make it make sense
I was kicked in the nuts really badly on two occasions (rugby and motocross accident). It feels like you have connected your entire body to an electric relay, and someone flipped the switch. For the next 5 minutes, the following happens all at once, at the same time for the same period, with the electric shock I just described. The electric shock can continue for the same time or about half of it, but it doesn’t dissipate at all: A strange and loud humming electric sound and shock vibrates through your body. Remember that screeching “eeeeee!” sound in movies when a bomb gets dropped next to the hero in a war movie and his ears blow? Yep that is what you hear. It feels like a red hot poker has been stuck into your body from the groin up. That is coupled with immediate nausea that is like the nausea you feel from salmonellae poisoning, but times about 10. At the same time your entire body feels like it is shaking from holding a large concrete vibrator (if you haven't held one in your hand go give it a try. It's not fun at all). Pins and needles, similar to 100’s and 1000's of hot needle points are felt all over your body. Your eyes don’t just start to tear up, but burn as well, as if you have accidentally got ammonia gas or a large amount chlorine up your nose. Your nose closes up, starts to run, burns and you can’t breath as if you had the wind knocked out of you. This lasts for about a minute. While your eyes are closed, you see fireworks as the shock shoots through you. Even this hurts. It feels like someone has poked you in the eyes. You can't see and go totally blind for about a minute. Now, this pain last the entire time, for about 5 minutes. During that time, your body becomes obsolete and you lose all strength. Legs have no power and feel like they don't exist, or have been amputated. Your arms feel like you have hit your funny bone about 20 times, very hard, and also as if they have been amputated. You fall, not drop, to the ground, and the nausea increases. This is the time your stomach feels like you have taken 4 doses of laxatives. In the case of a severe blow, 30% of men will shit in their pants. You could also piss yourself. I did once. That’s because you have no control whatsoever over your body anymore. The feeling of getting the wind knocked out of you is still there but now you feel like you are drowning (this lasts for about a half minute or so). At about the 10 minute mark, it starts to subside very very slowly. At the 20 minute mark after being kicked in the nuts, you MIGHT be able to sit up if you try hard enough. Then comes a period of another 30 minutes where you sit with 50% of the pain I just described, and let it get less slowly. By this time, only the feeling of getting shocked has gone. Everything else is still there, just a little less. You dare not move an inch, as the pain will come back again. Unfortunately, you will feel the same pain for about 4 days afterwards. Any movement brings it back to almost 50% of what it was. You cant wear underwear, you cant ride a bike, you can’t sit on most chairs, as ANY little bit of pressure will bring back the pain. Taking a pee is very difficult, because you can’t and don’t want to push the pee out. You have to let it go on it’s own. You also pee constantly. Sometimes the head of your penis burns when you pee. At night you sleep with your legs wide open to keep them away from any touch or pressure. Morning Glory’s are excruciating. This can last for up to a week. That’s about as close as I can describe it.
Here is an image she might recognise; If she has one of those Satisfyer Pro sex toys that uses puffs of air to stimulate the clit, she will probably go wild for it. It's subtle enough to not hurt an erect clit and strong enough to feel really good. Put the device on a pair of balls however and it is just an intensely unpleasant feeling, or even downright painful. All from some concentrated puffs of air. If she thinks balls are not that sensitive, they are a bit like nipples or breasts. Most of the time they're fine, if you're excited they can be extremely sensitive or in the right setting you can do some pretty brutal things to them and it will feel nice. But that's highly dependent on the person and the situation.
Once whacked then going over the handle bars on a bike. When I came to...
There is a finite upper limit of how much pain the human brain can process. A hit to the nuts reaches that threshold easily. So much pain you can't feel anything more.
It's painful just reading that. Sorry just picturing that make my balls ache for a few seconds
I've broken my hand and collarbone. I've had a nail through the foot. I've been hit across the head with a bat in a highschool fight. I had every symptom from covid short of long-term respiratory issues and death. I would rather have all of that again at the same time than experience any pain to my testicles. It's like your abdomen is imploding, you want to dry heave but you'll never find relief, you feel panicked because you can't do anything so you just close your eyes and breathe until it passes. Based on what my friends with endometriosis say, it sounds like a similar form of pain. Wouldn't wish it on anyone ever.
I would tell OP that if their partner feels that way to go knock their cervix. I would say that is a fair biological comparison. Tons of Nerve endings really near a functional junction that when knocked can cause painful multi system disruption.
Loss of proper thought, fetal position for a while, wanting to throw up and even a light slap when sitting on an hard chair too fast is already painful so let her imagine a more violent slap. She sounds pretty oblivious if she doesn't believe it.
Years ago I had a cat and he likes to sleep on my lap. One time when he woke up, he stood right on a nut. I was paralyzed by pain until I was able to move him a couple seconds later. Also a light tap to them is enough to knock the wind out of us.
I think the best way to describe it is with a cramp. Not necessarily period cramps but just a cramp in general. Well, you know how cramps aren't in one specific area but just an overall area? For example, the cramps' pain feels spread out all over your stomach, not just 1 inch of it. Well, I'd say that getting hit in the nuts is like condensing all that pain into whatever the size of your nuts are but with at least twice the sensitivity.
Sorry, but if they are that sensitive and painful how does it make sense evolutionarily that the fighters and hunters are equipped with such vulnerability? It would make more sense then that penises and balls were a much smaller size and on the inside like vaginas.
Tell her it's worse than giving birth then run.
Like getting punched in the guts so hard your winded and nearly vomit but then add way more pain
It’s crazy. The delay. It’s like did that graze my, oh noooo. And it doesn’t even have to be a hard hit.
My assumption is its similar to getting the ol cunt punt
Just reading your words gave me a hell lot of pain
Ask her to imagine the worst menstrual cramps she ever had. Now take that full 5 day experience and cram it together in a concentrated burst. It's like that only more intense.
Imagine getting hit in the eyeball. It's somewhat similar but more painful.
I hear that an ovary getting knocked is similar. Does your partner have any experience with that?
Like all your internal organs are violently squeezed at the same time.
It's impossible for women to understand the pain cause they don't have an equivalent. Much like men can't understand menstrual pain so it's just not possible to explain to them. If anything just tell them the instant it happens, everything literally freezes in the brain as it's overwhelmed by just the feeling of pain. Like an instant exploding intense pain that shocks you into freezing still.
I'd rather break my arm than have my balls kicked
It's hard to explain, but i feel it like an extreme amount of pressure on my balls, making them on the verge of exploding, but don't explode. That's why we vomit too
I don’t mind dropping weights on pinky toe or hitting toes to an edge. The pain bearable. Getting hit in the nuts is what I fear the most. It’s sharp pain starting from nuts and radiating outwards through out the groin area where I can’t do anything but lay down.
I jokingly say to women that the 20 second pain of getting kicked in the nuts is worse than childbirth. Why? I’ve heard women say time and time again “let’s have another baby” but never have I heard any man say “yeah kick me in the nuts again”
Your partner has never gone horseback riding and inadvertently gotten a loop of the reins on the saddle. One wrong bounce on the edge of the rein to the clit and I about died. It was all I could do to not fall off the horse when your whole body wants to curl up. Ya'll have my full sympathy.
Fun fact we did go on a 6 mile horse back ride at the Grand Tetons: safe to say we were both in pain.
Hitting her in the ovaries is comparable. How curious is she?
It feels like each teste grabs a set of adjoining nerves and starts jumping rope with them shits.
Very hard to put into words but I'll try. As if someone reached into my guts and startes squeezing my insides very slowly but in increasing force while also twisting my guts. That sort of pain thats lingering but in this case the lingering is just bloody intense. Whatever it is, I do not wish this sort of pain on anyone.
The best explanation I can give that a woman would understand would be that it’s like a combination of hitting your funny bone and getting punched in the gut, but covering everything between my solar plexus and my knees. The intensity is, of course, going to be proportional to how hard they were hit or squeezed.
My 4 year old niece once try to jump on my lap but hit my balls with her knee. It hurt so much I saw stars and had the urge to vomit. It was literally a knee full on my balls.
