Guys getting kicked in the crotch in movies and TV?

[Ellis_Aponte_Jr]

In Point Blank (1967) Lee Marvin delivers such a kick to a bad guy. It was held up as an example of the increasing tastelessness of cinema by a prominent movie critic of the day.

My wife’s gynecologist was giving her a pelvic exam, and he got to the part where he palpated her ovaries, and I could tell it was pretty uncomfortable because she was trying to crush my hand into powder. All of a sudden I see the doctor’s arm jerk a bit, and KABLAM, this white-hot pain shoots through my hand as my wife gasps and her gripping strength goes up by several orders of magnitude for a second. The doctor looked at her and said “Yeah, I know, this can be pretty unpleasant. Now you know what it feels like when your husband gets hit in the testicles. The ovaries are just as sensitive, you just don’t usually notice because they’re better protected.”

For some reason, I really don’t like that guy…

I figured that would be the only way anyone would know what it would feel like. To get “kicked” in the ovaries would involve pointy boots, good aim, and a restrained victim - not quite the comedy gold of the male equvalent.

Perhaps your wife needs a new doctor? In my experience, having the ovaries routinely palpated is not pleasant, but it hasn’t hurt.

I was particular fond of George C. Scott’s starring role in the remake of this movie.

So were the Oscar voters.

You were trying to rape or murder her? :eek:

You know women, yap, yap, yap… well, I found the “Off” button.

Oh, right. Hey, if you think a punt in the 'nads is a reasonable and appropriate attention-getter, who am I to argue? But I’ll opt out from that POV if you don’t mind.

From Chris Bliss’s Web site, his essay on standup comedy techniques:

To his credit, the ump eventually got up and the game resumed with him behind the plate. All I could think was that it could have been much, much worse. The Royals could have been batting, and Randy Johnson was pitching for the Mariners that day.

Most umps I know wear a cup … which spreads the hurt so it inst as intense, or so i understand.

Tell her to ditch the jerk and get a new one. None of mine have ever caused more than a minor sense of pressure. And I have PCOS, and not one time have they ever palpitated me to the extent of a nad shot in a guy. Very sloppy.

Based on my experience in stopping a cricket ball with my family jewels the one time I was keeping wicket without a box in, and subsequently getting a lot more sense, the device transmits the impact directly to the pelvis via its cushioned edges and the “boys” are none the wiser. It’s not even a case of spreading the hurt. And if I was umpiring a game in which a ball was going to be flung at me at groin height going 90+mph, and I was relying on someone to catch it, you bet I’d armour up.

I think the female equivelent is a sharp finger poke right to the nipple until you hit a rib. Usually shuts Hardship(T.M.) up.

I hope I’m getting whooshed here, Bubastis and you don’t treat an actual woman like this. Otherwise my guess is you’re still getting clocked in the nuts on a regular basis & I don’t have much sympathy for you about it.

At ease, soldier. I would NEVER do anything like this to a woman. Except the next woman that hits me in the balls and thinks that it is funny, like that girl I spoke of earlier. She hit me a knee in the stones and thought she was fucking great. Man, she should have got a nipple-poke right there and then!!

Hey, I’m easy!

What?

I agree that this retaliatory technique should be reserved for times when a woman’s immediate ensuing priority is running, not laughing.

I’ve never thought it was funny when it happens to guys accidentally.
Now, farting…that’s funny .

I’m sure the ump was wearing a cup. If he hadn’t been, he likely would have been taken out on a stretcher instead of finishing the game. He was still down for a long time, though.
