Nobody should ever hit a man in the balls. That is just plain wrong. Women might think it’s funny, but there is nothing fucking funny about it!!! You should never hit a guy in the nuts! Some women say that giving birth is the most painful thing that a women can go through. I say grow a set of balls and hit them as hard as you can, then come talk to me about pain. Under no circumstances is it acceptable! That shit fucking HURTS!!!
Amen brotha. Ever been hit in the nerts by a perfectly thrown (i.e. well spiraled) football? Not a pleasant ordeal.
Luckily I have never been hit by a ball…that I can remember. I’ve been hit by boots, fists, back of a chair that I didn’t know was there. The most recent was some bitch that just walked up to an unexpectant me and WHAP!!! That really pissed me off. If she was a girl I would have got up eventually and thrown a chair at her. Oh well.
Hey, I’m a chick and I don’t think it’s the slightest bit funny. One of the many reasons I don’t like “Funniest Home Videos,” besides the host being one of the most annoying people on the planet, is that it’s really “Getting Hit in the Nuts Theatre” and that to me is Not Funny. It just makes me wince.
Personally, if I’m in a fight, and it’s important for my safety (More than play-fighting), I’d go for any cheep trick that leaves me standing at the end of it. Kind of a necessity when you’re outweighed by about 95% of the male population over the age of 15 (I’m a little on the “lean” side).
Though really, I just avoid getting in fights, seems to work much better 
And you gave birth to a child when? While it is not funny, it is certainly the main defense bullseye in bad situations and that’s exactly the spot I aim for when cornered. I can only remember that happening twice.
Just wanted to point out that there are some circumstances when it IS acceptable.
Growing up as a tomboy, my father (knowing that I was getting in fights at school) decided to teach me a few tricks. He showed me the spot to hit on a nose, amongst other things, to get it to bleed without much damage, and so end a fight quickly (usually works, even though it doesn’t hurt much or cause much damage).
He also explained to me just how disabling a good kick/knee to the nads can be. He told me if he ever found out I’d purposely kicked someone in the balls, without good reason, he’d thrash me withing an inch of my life. He then explained that being in a situation where I was about to be raped or afraid for my life, was the only good reasons he could think of.
I think you’d agree that my dad was right. Other than in cases of rape/death/bashing etc… balls should be treated with care. I later found other ways to treat balls, but they were all gentle, and I wouldn’t dare tell my dad about them !
I’m siding with ultress here. In a self-defense situation – go for the balls. Balls, throat, bridge of the nose, all very painful places to be hit, but a good shot to the balls though can put a man to his knees and give you plenty of time to get away. (The other places you have to hit right and hit hard, or you may just piss the guy off.)
Now I’m reasonably sure that ringmaster would agree in a self-defense situation, you gotta do what you gotta do, but when else is this a problem? Ringmaster, do you know women who will for no reason hit a guy in the Happy Fun Testes[sup]TM[/sup] for no reason, or cuz they think it’s funny?
BTW, I am a firm follower of the teachings that being hit in the Happy Fun Testes [sup]TM[/sup] is NOT FUNNY. So don’t think I’m arguing with the OP, I just didn’t realize nut-busting for pleasure was a problem.
I once misjudged a 60-yard punt in a soccer game and nutsack-trapped it.
I played on, because I’m a tough guy. Not to say it didn’t hurt, but I didn’t whine about it.
Stop making the women here think that you’re a wimp, fella. Suck it up and show some backbone. 
[sub]This post brought to you in jest. You’re damn right it hurts![/sub]
I do agree about the major self defense times. If you have a good reason for it, I’ll except that. Men are usually bigger and stronger than women, so you girls definately need something to use against the bad men. Phoenix Dragon , you of anybody should no not to hit a guy in the nuts. I am a lightweight myself, but I use it to my advantage. You are faster than them, use that. Plus, if you hit a big guy in the nuts, he won’t be down forever. I have known females that thought it was funny for a man to get hit in the nuts. The one I mentioned in my second post in this thread is one. I try to keep distance between her and myself.
It hurts real bad. It’s not like I start crying, but I do have to take a seat for a few minutes. One time at track practice, I didn’t make it all the way over a hurtle. Than hurt for about a month.
I wonder how I missed that second post. That sort of shit is just wrong. I have one question though ringmaster:
If she wasn’t a girl, what sex was she then? 
(I know, it was a typo, but it’s still fun to play with)
And I don’t want to get into a mini-debate about what Phoenix Dragon should do in a fight, but if you’ve never been taught how to fight and you are attacked… male or female, all’s fair in self-defense. I’m a man and if I get in a fight with some guy and I don’t know who he is or what he’s capable of, you’re damn skippy I’m gonna use every dirty trick I know. I’m not gonna try to play fair while this guy may have a belt in some martial art, or maybe even a weapon stashed on him somewhere. I’m going in quick and I’m going in dirty, the point being to put that man down and keep him down before he can do it to me. Go for the balls, go for the eyes, etc. Self-preservation knows no proper rules of engagement.
I understand about the dirty tricks. I guess if I had to, I would use it as a last resort. I am all for eye gouging, though. Everything else is fair game all the time.
when I was a younger man, we had a rope hung from the tree in our front yard so that we could swing on it. It was just a rope with a small loop on the end, and the neighbor kids would always be using it when we weren’t.
Well, one day I walk outside to play, and I see that one of the neighbor kids was up in the tree with the rope. He swings down, legs straight out, and HITS ME RIGHT IN THE PILLS WITH HIS FUCKING FOOT.
Jesus, that was to most excruciating thing to ever happen to me, even worse than when the mexican kids beat me with socks stuffed full of rocks.
If a girl came up to me and kicked me in the junk for no reason, I wouldn’t let a little X chromosome stop me from throwing a chair at her. I take exception to the idea that girls can attack guys as much as they want, while retaliation is Out Of The Question because You Don’t Ever Hit Girls.
Oh, you’ll (potentially) blind someone, but a gentle, little love kick to the 'nads is “last resort?” Remind me to shoot you first and ask questions later.
Remember: pain is temporary; maiming is forever (and warrants a stiffer sentence, if it wasn’t really pure self-defense).
85g frozen, vulcanized rubber,
travelling at appx 120km/h,
my groin,
and an untimely maladjusted cup.
= the second most painfull moment of my life.
you don’t wanna know the first.
but its always a BAD THINGtm, imo.
I always heard that if you were attacked you should go for the knees, not the nads, because:
a) Guys instinctually protect their precious gems, so they may be hard to get a good foot into. Not being a guy, I have no idea if this is true or not.
b) Shattering someones knee will keep them down for a whole lot longer then kicking them in the nuts will.
I have never actually had the opertunity to see if this plan has any merit, thank God, but it makes sense to me.
By the way, I would never kick someone in the nuts, unless I had a damn good reason. Women think it is funny are seriously messed up.
While I am a lifelong member of the “Don’t hit guys in the nuts for fun” fanclub, I have to say that the above quote is preposterous and downright ignorant. Do you honestly think that being hit in the nuts hurts worse than childbirth? Are you retarded? I don’t know of any man ever receiving an epidural for a nutwound.
And again, I want to reiterate what others have said: A kick to the nuts is completely acceptable, even well fucking deserved, in instances of self-defense.
The only thing to be wary of is that you can maim somebody by taking out their knees. Other than that, it’s not a bad idea.
Then again, if you’re worried about being attacked, the best thing to do is probably to take a self-defense class. They’ll know what to do.
