Speaking as a fan of testicles and those who come with testicles as standard equipment, I thought it was a rather “meh” article. Testicle-kicking should be reserved only for situations where one is under immediate threat, and a kick to the kneecap is almost always preferable.
Besides, positive reinforcement works so much better. Praise the balls! Love the balls! Kiss the balls, and hug the balls, and name the balls George! Don’t kick the balls.
[sub]I once accidentally kicked a coworker in the balls. He was standing behind me, tapping my head with a pen. I kicked backward, trying to hit his knee, so he would leave me alone. Either I was seriously off-target, he was a looooowww hanger, or he’d decided to do a plie at just the wrong moment. When I realized what had happened, I . . . laughed. It was wrong of me and bad, but he never bugged me after that.[/sub]

When I was a teenager me and this girl were horse playing in the pool. (We were trying to dunk each others heads under the water). For some reason this girl thought it would be funny to knee me in the balls.
I instinctively nailed her in the face. She ran home crying I limped home in pain.

I’ve seen something like this at a club in Jersey, except the two weren’t friends, and he hit her in the chin so hard she was out before she fell back to the floor. He immediately realized what he’d done, and then realized he was in a club full of juiced up Guidos. Never seen someone run as fast as he did. Lightning fast reflexes can be more trouble than they’re worth. :smack:
Just for shits n giggles, here’s one of my friends surprising another friend coming out of the bathroom with a fist to the balls. (Cruel, yes, but their entire friendship is fairly cruel. And amusing.)
