It drives me crazy when guys say that getting kicked in the balls hurts worse than going through childbirth. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that they have never gone through intense labor, delivery and aftercare. I just can't believe they would have the balls to say something like that to someone who has gone through hours upon hours of excruciating pain. No pun intended!!! But then I also have never been kicked in the nuts, as I don't have any, so I do feel as though there is no way to honestly compare these two experiences. (I'll give it a try.) Even if a study was done, each person deals with pain differently which is why a doctor asks you from one to ten how you feel when your in pain. Each kick in the balls is not the to the same degree just as each woman's childbirth pain's differ. What I call a 9 someone else could call a 6 and so on.
All I have to go on here for information is my personal experience through childbirth, along with some information from various sites and reading about a man's personal experience of getting kicked in the balls. I have tried to look up information on a study that was done at University of Birmingham which states that they have "conclusively proved" through brain imaging techniques that a kick to the groin is more painful than giving birth. This was an answer from chacha.com to the question, "Is it true that getting kicked in the balls is equal to giving birth". I am not sure how accurate this information is since I did find another question on Chacha similar to this with the answer stating, "nothing can come close to childbirth, not even a kick to the balls". There is no link to the Birmingham study or any more information provided on Chacha.com. The only other information on the subject was found at pastebin.com which "seems" to be taken from a document or study. I could not find the link to the study here either. ( All links are located at the bottom of this blog in References!!)
Anyway, I am sure some of you have seen this.....
and this......
circulating around facebook or the internet.
The only problem with these two photos is the horribly inaccurate information they provide. There is actually NO such thing as a del unit of pain!! I spent over an hour looking for information on the "del" pain scale and came across this at wiki answers.
What is meant by del of pain?
This is a fake unit of measurement made popular by an internet rumor. A scale of pain measured in dols (1-10) is used sometimes, but is relative and the validity of it is questionable at best.
So if that doesn't have you convinced, lets take logic into consideration, shall we? If the human body can only bear up to 45 "del" units of pain but at the time of birth a woman feels "up to" 57 "del" units of pain... wouldn't that mean that after 45 units she would either pass out or die? And last but not least, the second half of the second picture above states that a kick in the balls is ABOVE 9000 "del" units of pain. Now if the human body can only handle up to 45 units why would ANYONE believe a kick to the balls measures 200 times that amount??
Sounds to me that someone got bored and created a fake unit of measurement that made a woman seem extremely strong during childbirth. Kudo's for trying to make what we feel relevant to those who don't understand. But unfortunately, someone else came along and made a mockery of your stupidity by making getting kicked in the balls sound more excruciatingly painful than having a baby.
While reading "The science of being hit in the groin", a blog post by Nick Nafpliotis, I've come to realize that getting kicked in the balls is actually a lot similar to going through labor pains. Similar... but definitely NOT the same. He explains the pain process in these steps:
- Rage - "At the time you are hit, you maybe have maybe 5-20 seconds where you are either in shock or in a blind rage at the person who did this to you. During these few seconds, you are able to move ahead fueled solely on adrenaline and anger. I, however, went down like a sack of bricks immediately during this particular incident. But I have had the "rage push" before. Afterwards is when the real agony begins. "
- The Stomach Ache - "As you lay on the ground or keel over, you develop a very weird stomach ache. It's odd because you know that no type of release from your large intestines will cure it. It almost feels like someone is spraying a type of stomach ache gas that is slowly making its way towards your lungs. It tends intensify greatly at first and then just lingers.......The stomach ache kept me firmly on the ground, groaning in pain. Unfortunately, I was far from the end of my suffering."
- Nausea - "The next feeling that many groin hit victims feel is nausea. This is caused by one of two things: A rush of sympathetic nervous system discharge (which hinges greatly upon how susceptible you are to vomiting in general) and/or the severe and sudden contraction of stomach muscles"
- False Bleeding Sensation - "After that, you feel as though all the blood in that part of your body is rushing forward to get out. Often times, you mistakenly believe that you are actually bleeding. You're (most likely) not, but you never get used to the fear."
- The Empathetic Pain - "The next part is psychological. This type of empathy towards others in pain is not uncommon, but it can give the receiver of a recent hit to the nuts a crushing feeling of guilt and despair."
- The Aftermath - "Once you get up, you feel weak and timid. If it was a really solid and dead on hit, you'll still feel the pain long after you have come out of the initial shock and start trying to move around. The stomach ache is still there and you're having trouble walking without a limp. Your pride and your body have been hurt in the worst way possible. It sticks with you."
Now anyone that has had a baby can actually relate to a lot of what the man above has stated. And not I will give a step by step process of my labor explained in detail.... and with photos. :)
- Diarrhea - Yep, we get pre-labor diarrhea. This was my biggest sign that labor was approaching. "Some doctors believe that diarrhea occurs because it empties the bowels, making room for the baby to move through the birth canal."
- The First Contractions - I actually went into labor at 35 weeks and went through an entire night of nausea from the medications I was given to make my labor stop. I got sent home the next day and was put on bed rest. I continued have early stage contractions for a week before having them get stronger and closer together at around 9 o'clock at night. "contractions that occur in early labor are similar to menstrual cramps, or severe gas pains, which may be confused with flu symptoms or intestinal disorders. Each contraction will gradually gain in intensity until the contraction peaks, then slowly subside and go away. As the strength of each contraction increases, the peaks will come sooner and last longer. "
- Back Labor - Then contractions stayed 10 minutes apart, and were mostly in my back until the next morning at 8:00 am. (I didn't sleep much AT ALL that night.) I ended up going in and was 5 cm dilated so was then sent to the hospital. My back labor continued throughout my entire labor and delivery. It's an intense burning sensation that radiates out from the middle of your lower back. Like a contraction it gets stronger and stronger and then lessens but never goes away. A heat pack or massage sometimes alleviates the pain. "It felt like someone was trying to pull my back apart with a pair of pliers in different directions with pain shooting vertically and diagonally. My tailbone area really hurt after delivery."
- Intense Contractions - My contractions started to get stronger and became 2-3 minutes apart and I dilated to 6 cm. They were so strong that I had to hold my breath through them. "Active labor is when things really get rolling. Your contractions become increasingly intense – more frequent, longer, and stronger – and you'll no longer be able to talk through them. Your cervix dilates more quickly, until it's fully dilated at 10 centimeters."
- Rage - There became a point where I was just done. I didn't want to be in pain anymore and was mad that Nick "did this to me". It was then that I asked for an epidural lol.
- Water Breaks - After I got the epidural and they gave me the shot they put my catheter in, so I wouldn't pee on them, and then they broke my water. It's not a very pleasant feeling. Almost as though you have peed yourself. "If your cervix is already at least partially dilated, your doctor can "break your water" by making a hole in your amniotic sac using a small plastic hook. Once your amniotic sac has broken, you should may having contractions."
- Nausea And Needing To Vacate Bowels- Once you get to the point where you feel as though you need to "relieve yourself", it's time to push!!! I also got extremely nauseous, chewing on ice helped a little.
- Pushing - Fun!!! Mine lasted for 44 minutes!!! You are not allowed to yell, as you might scare the other patients and are wasting the energy you could be putting into every push. The epidural had worn off my uterus, back and private region so I could feel all of the contractions, back pain and stretching my body was doing. It however did not wear off of my leg, so I had a dead leg and needed my mother to hold it to my chest. Too bad all of the pain wasn't there haha, what a waste!! " With each contraction, the force of your uterus – combined with the force of your abdominal muscles if you're actively pushing – exerts pressure on your baby to continue to move down through the birth canal. When a contraction is over and your uterus is relaxed, your baby's head will recede slightly in a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of progression."
- Episiotomy - Since my midwife didn't tell me she was cutting me all of a sudden I just got an intense burning/ripping sensation down there after a contraction. She didn't use any local anesthesia for this so it was quite a scare. "Episiotomy, also known as perineotomy, is a surgically planned incision on the perineum and the posterior vaginal wall during the second stage of labor. (the perineum is the tissue between a woman's vagina and rectum) The incision, which can be midline or at an angle from the posterior end of the vulva, is performed under local anesthetic (pudendal anesthesia), and is sutured closed after delivery."
- Afterbirth - This is when your nurse pushes and massages your stomach and has you push to expel the placenta from the uterus. Some people also have afterbirth pains, I got them the next day which also could have resulted from my breastfeeding as it helps to contract the uterus and get it back to normal size. "Minutes after giving birth, your uterus begins to contract again. The first few contractions usually separate the placenta from your uterine wall."
- Stitching The Perineum - The nurse then stitches the "incision" closed. Unfortunately my midwife didn't give me any local anesthesia for this either so I felt every stitch. "Healing times vary from woman to woman, but in general, the deeper the cut or tear, the longer the recovery time. A typical episiotomy or second-degree tear which involves skin and muscle, requires stitches and usually heals in two to three weeks. (The stitches dissolve on their own during this time.) Some women feel little pain after a week, while others have discomfort for a month."
- Aftercare - You are given a water bottle and are told to fill it with warm water to rinse your privates during and after every bathroom break to keep them clean. This stings quite a bit. It take's at least 6 weeks, sometimes more, for the stitches to completely dissolve and your vaginal walls to get like they were before baby. Mine took 2 months because I ripped my stitches and they could not sew me back up. I had to let it heal slowly. It hurt to sit and to use the bathroom for a long time.
I hope this information has helped you to understand why women strongly believe childbirth is more painful that getting kicked in the nuts. And if this information wasn't enough... here are some pictures of what I went through. (not my body, just examples of the procedures.)
Below is a photo of an Episiotomy:

Below are two photo's of an Epidural:
SO, you got kicked in the balls... how long did that pain last exactly? You threw up did you, so did I when I was in labor the first time!!! Were you having contractions and back labor 30 minutes apart for A WEEK? Did you push a baby out of your privates for 44 minutes, feeling everything from the contractions, the back labor aches and burning, and everything being stretched SLOWLY for a baby's head and shoulders to come out?? Did someone cut your privates open without pain medication? Did they sew you back up, still without pain medication? Did it take 2 MONTHS to heal from being cut open? Did you rip your stitches and have to wait to have sex for an extra month? The answer to most all of these questions is probably a big fat NO. So next time you plan on comparing childbirth to getting kicked in your gonads, remember this blog post and the angry woman who wrote it so you don't have to have someone rant all of these painful experiences to you in gross detail again.
Have a good day. : )

wouldn't the fact that getting kicked in the balls can happen more frequently than child birth, make the argument, not invalid, but questionable? Because a man can definitely have his balls kicked every 30 minutes, although it is seriously ill advised due to the severe reprocussions.
ReplyDeleteThis reply supports the possibility that getting kicked in the groin holds the potential for being more painful than child birth, and does not say that that the pain experienced by women is not significant or appreciated.
Sincerely,
A Passer-by
Well that's true, but the argument is "The most pain over a period of time". Cases are reported of infection, surgical reconstruction, sterilization, or even death from trauma to the testicles. Although woman can suffer similar fates.
DeleteI think that its all based on the experience. Examples:
MEN- Hit, Falling on to |blank|, Sitting on "them", etc.
WOMEN- 20 pound baby, twins +, Lacerations, etc.
More or Less its the experience and not the genitals, lets all agree that both can hurt immensely, and that both parties contribute towards the birth. Therefore father or mother they deserve appreciation for what they have endured.
Sincerely
Me
I thought "the most pain over a period of time" was a Cluster Headache.
Deleteguy12344x - I agree. I am a mom of three (one natural childbirth and two emergency cesareans), and I have also suffered cluster headaches. When people ask me about my headaches, I always tell them, "YES. There IS pain worse than childbirth." They don't refer to them as "suicide headaches" for nothing.
Delete"wouldn't the fact that getting kicked in the balls can happen more frequently than child birth, make the argument, not invalid, but questionable?"
DeleteNot necessarily. Childbirth may happen less frequently, but if you add up every strong contraction over hours (as they come every few minutes to every minute or less over the course of hours) and multiply by a minimum of two labors per woman, the number of contractions could easily outweigh the number of kicks to the nads for a guy's lifetime. But I think the question of comparison usually arises not because it's some kind of competition but rather because each side is trying to find a point of commonality -- a way for the other sex to have an idea of what their particular pain is like. Forgetting number of times, blah, blah, blah, I think that a strong contraction is probably very similar to getting kicked in the balls. Both are awful and bring you to your knees and make you feel like vomiting.
... if you get hit in the balls really really REALLY hard the pain stays longer than a day, try researching more. some people cant walk for a month(s),especially if one (or both) of the testicles are damaged, not to mention that they can become sterile, and some people die from the pain ( i am aware that people die at childbirth too just saying)
ReplyDeleteOn top of that, I have never heard of a woman giving birth without screaming, however I've seen guys getting kicked a number of times throughout school and when they had a really hard square hit, they couldn't even make a noise come out their mouth let alon scream.
DeleteI'm not an expert, but I heard most men aren't very resistant to pain at first, but can build up a resistance after repeated exposure to pain, while most women are more insensitive but can't inure to pain like men. There's a man who trained his balls to endure a massive amount of force for the world record.
DeletePain is a sign of damage or other problems. You don't die of pain, you either die of the damage or of the overdose of stress hormones the pain causes. For the same reason women can die at childbirth. And the kick is often unexpected, but you now, when the baby comes. Also, when you get kicked, you get damaged one short time and have time until it is completely healed, but as mentioned above, if you give birth or have a headache, you're exposed to pain over hours
(Sorry for my bad English)
*know not now
Delete"On top of that, I have never heard of a woman giving birth without screaming, however I've seen guys getting kicked a number of times throughout school and when they had a really hard square hit, they couldn't even make a noise come out their mouth let alon scream."
DeleteWhat?? I have never screamed during labor. During strong contractions, I have to focus on breathing because I almost forget to/can't breathe. I'm lucky to muster a moan -- and I have a high pain tolerance. I hate when movies depict women always screaming. The odd woman who screams does so when pushing baby out (burning, tearing) and definitely not during a contraction.
getting kicked in the nuts can hurt enough that the brain either short circuits and leaves you mentally disabled, or can hurt enough that the brain cannot handle it, and turns itself off, it commits suicide because the pain is that strong, and on average a mans pain tolerance is higher than a womens. so imagine what that would feel like to you? you have months to prepare for childbirth, we could get hit at anytime, for no reason. childbirth hurts, it can kill u from BLOOD LOSS. getting kicked in the nuts hurts, it can kill you because IT HURTS 1000 TIMES WORSE. duh. on average childbirth does hurt more than the occasional accidental hit to the groin, but a full on kick by an upset ex gf or some douche frat boy, hurts worse than child birth. and it hurts all the way up to the stomach.
ReplyDeleteOkay your whole reply just sounds really poorly researched. And a little condescending ("duh"). Your sexist remark about men's pain tolerance being higher is just as I said, sexist. And pain is subjective so really there's no way it is universally "1000 TIMES WORSE" ("duh"). "You have months to prepare for childbirth" yes those months are spent being sick and hormonal (which is a thing and not just "women being weak" which I feel like your next argument would have been). "we could get hit for any time, for no reason" okay I understand the world is a very bad place sometimes but there's usually an unspoken agreement between everyone above the age of 13 to not kick in the balls (not accounting for people who do it inebriated or under some sort of chemical influence). So if you're having a problem with getting kicked in the balls it's because you have an attitude problem. "Upset ex gf" wouldn't go about kicking you in the groin unless she felt like she got the short end of the breakup stick or she had a legitimate mental concern (anger disorders, panic disorders, etc). Or maybe it's because you just come off as insensitive to the way that women feel things. I dunno, this is all just my opinion.
DeleteSexist or not, it's 100% true. Guys have always been, in general, more physically capable than women. The fastest, the strongest, and the most enduring people are and were men. Women, on the other hand, have a far more efficient brain and can think of many things at once and tend to have a better recall. Yet the smartest people have always been men also; These all prove the point that women are the weaker. Why is that hard to take? Guys are the brutes, the 'animals', you could say, with a strong will and little emotion. Women are beautiful, gentle and show us alot that we can appreciate but can't obtain. Women need to get over the whole "sexist" thing and accept who they are and who we are.
DeleteMy support for both sides: a woman's pain lasts hours on end, a guys lasts, in general, a half an hour. But a guy gets it his whole life, a woman gets it a couple times in her life.
Then if men can take more pain, then why does it appear that they are so whiney about it? Actually I also think that there are even worse things. Someone here mentioned cluster headaches and kidney stones.
DeleteAnd btw: Don't praise men that much, most of the time it's only measured by men who are the "smartest" - especially in the past. Women weren't even allowed to study or do anything not related to household and child stuff, in many countries for a long time.
You could also say men tend to be more stupid, they generally are said to be more extreme in good and bad. But on average we are all pretty average ;) So if you say men were the smartest, you can't forget to mention they are also the most stupid since it's important as well.
In the end it makes no sense in everyday life. Ain't like all women are "beautiful and gentle" lol, do you really think it is that way? It's always the individual that counts, not the average. Look at Serena Williams and then look at Novak Djokovic. They are both great tennis players, yet physically seem very different. And yes, they both are not on hormones so they are pretty much a represantative individual of their biological gender.
You need to get over thinking in such a sexist way. Thinking women are generally "beautiful" and "gentle" is sexist and more an opinion than anything. Which of course is ok, if you want to say all women are beautiful, alright, but they are only to you not for everyone else neccessarily. 1. Beautiful is defined by the one looking. So a man can be more beautiful to a heterosexual woman than another woman. Even a stone can be beautiful. 2. Gentle - have you ever seen female heavyweight boxers? Or Judo fighters? Not everyone is gentle, but if you might think so, alright.
Just don't think in your narrow sexist borders - it's ok if you like women better in appearance. But in the end a woman decides herself whether or not she wants to be strong or not, for example. Saying "woman aren't strong" just gives them the impression, they can never be strong and this leads to a bias in what they could be and what they are told and maybe believe they could be. Practice every day and you'll be strong, simple as that.
In the end it doesn't matter if men are physically capable of being strongER, especially since there is always someone who is stronger than each man (except for one strongest lol), too. All that counts is that an individual does as they please. Men are more like women than you'd think, *we* are all very much alike, the biggest difference are made by the culture and how they want to form us. Don't make women a different species and don't exclude women from the *we* that stands for humanbeings. All that counts is not what you are given at birth, it's what you do in life.
Hmmm... Men are stronger than women bottom line, some women may be stronger than some men but I gotta say when mu gf of 156lbs wrestles with me at 135lbs and I don't have to hardly even try to over power her, pretty sure I'm stronger. Or have you ever been punched in the face by a 335 lb linebacker and stood back up to fight? I think not... Its not sexist its fact. Again some may be different than others but generally that's how it goes. And as for pain tolerance, no one really enjoys pain (you have the few that do) but again when I broke 3 knuckles 2 bones and my wrist you know what o did with my limp right hand? Squeezed it so I could hear the bones scraping together. Pain is relative, we all feel it differently, but generally men can take more
DeleteWell, ever since the age of 3 I've been passing kidney stones, I'm going to pass them for the rest of my life. One of my GUY friends who also has kidney stones says being kicked or hit in the balls isn't nearly as bad as his kidney stones. They say that kidney stones and child birth have about the same pain intensity, I haven't had childbirth so I can't say exactly, but a lot of women have. Just a fact to give you a little thinking candy. Oh and the guys commenting above, when's the last time you've given birth? I know people's pain management is different, but I tore two bones apart in my foot and walked on it for 5 weeks, before getting diagnosed and having to have surgery, so you not being able to walk for months after getting hit in the balls? Are you kidding me? Someones a little dramatic.

DeleteBiancham, my feet nails grow wider than usual and cut through the fingers. I've played a whole basketball match with pain in the left foot just to find that my sock was drained (literally) with blood. I had to undergo a surgery.
DeleteOur body is genetically prepared to continue running/walking even if you get hurt just to escape from our predators. It will make you feel that you aren't that much hurt during a period of time. Not walking for a month, even a week would mean death. It's impossible not to walk for a week unless a muscle or nerve is hurt or there is a serious bone fracture in the leg bones (a foot bone wouldn't matter that much unless its talus or calcaneus).
Maybe not a month (I also find it improbable), but feeling hurt when walking for a week or two is possible. If there's damage in the testicle it would hurt until it is healed, but you could always walk if bearing the pain
@Biancham Ive torn my rotator cuff, and labrum in one shoulder, meniscus in left knee, and have torn majority of ligaments in both ankles from so many sprains. I have never once had surgery, nor did I stop doing a single thing I was doing. Running everyday, working out, playing football (real and american) school and working.
DeleteThroughout all of those injuries I never suffered from even a limp. The only reason I know of the tears is because for a physical for college football (american) I had to get an MRI because of a cracking noise in knee and shoulder. I had torn meniscus 2-3 years prior and shoulder 2 years. I never wouldve known without the scan. Now when I got hit in the cohones in a football match (real) I had to be helped off the field and could not even so much as walk for almost an hour. That goes to show that the cohones hurt many times more than any separations, torn tendons, or even broken bones.
I have broken all of my fingers, most of my toes, my knee, my arm, and nearly broke my neck. I would rather break any of them again that be kicked in the family jewels. It may not last as long as childbirth, but I'm positive nothing hurts more.
DeleteI'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to break your neck. My dad broke his neck and was told he would never walk again. Paralyzed from the neck down.
DeleteOh boy! Let's all have a competition at who's been hurt more. So macho. Oh my god, I broke my body and never even knew. I must be so much better than everyone who did know! Oh yeah, well I broke my body 27 times and never went to the hospital! Oh yeah, well I got so broke I almost died, but never cried! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

DeleteMany women after having one child will actually seek out having a second or third child. It takes a masochist male to seek out getting kicked in the sack.
ReplyDeleteGetting kicked in the sack hurts so much, that most if not all other males in the area also experience phantom pain of the incident. As a matter of fact, most men reading this right now will actually start feeling phantom pain/uneasiness about reading this topic alone.
Your point is completely irrelevant. Women want to have more children not because of the PAIN but because of the rewards that go with it. You know, like being able to have something grow inside of you? Having something live within you? It's why a lot of the time women have a stronger bond with their children than men. The miracle of childbirth. Just because we want to have more children doesn't mean we don't go through a lot of pain, it means that we have strong motherly instincts and think the pain is worth it. And honestly, you don't think a woman that has had childbirth won't have "Phantom" pain? Hell, I have it whenever people talk about sprains, due to the bad sprains I've had. Look, nobody said getting kicked in the balls doesn't hurt, it obviously hurts a lot. But women have to go through 9 months of morning sickness, cravings, bloating, swollen ankles, etcetera before they even get to the labor. And then some women are in labor for over 3 days. It's ridiculous how long it can take. The reason women complain about men thinking getting kicked in the balls hurts more than childbirth is because we go through 9 months of raging hormones and other crap like the stuff I listed before, and then go through hours to days of contractions, what almost feels like severe gas pains but worse in the back, then the vagina being ripped, the cervix dilating, and so much more that the original poster talked about. Even though getting kicked in the balls does hurt, a LOT, I feel as if you have one peak of pain and from there it gets better and better. As the original poster said, we have several peaks of pain, nearly as bad as getting kicked in the balls if not as bad, and they can last a few minutes, and occur not too long apart from each other. It would be hell going through that, don't you think?
Deleteok, but why are we talking about how long the pain lasts? im just saying that the initial pain from being kicked in the balls is more intense than child birth, sure you might have to go through more pain over time, but not once will it compare to the feeling of getting hammered in the nads.
DeleteYou have no way of knowing that. It is your assumption, based on the pain you've had. Our assumption is ours based on the pain we've had. You have no way of knowing the pain of childbirth, anymore than I have of knowing the pain of getting kicked in the scrotum.
DeleteTop that off each pregnancy is different, and their pain level are not all the same. I had my first baby and pain was extremely bad, but not completely unbearable. The second one was not nearly so bearable. Even the contractions that went on for weeks were far worse then the pain experienced in my first childbirth. The labor was excruciating, far faster once my water broke, everything after my water broke was excruciating, and I could feel every massive contraction, the pelvic area opening, and did I say the pain at that point was so horrible, so unbearable. Screaming happened, breathing exercises were attempted to no avail, silence because it hurt so bad I couldn't scream or cry also happened. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, and I also wouldn't wish a kicked scrotum on anyone, but at least I'm willing to acknowledge that there is no way for either of us to truly know which is worse, which is more painful, which horrific pain lasts longer at each point.
You have no way of knowing that. It is your assumption, based on the pain you've had. Our assumption is ours based on the pain we've had. You have no way of knowing the pain of childbirth, anymore than I have of knowing the pain of getting kicked in the scrotum.
DeleteTop that off each pregnancy is different, and their pain level are not all the same. I had my first baby and pain was extremely bad, but not completely unbearable. The second one was not nearly so bearable. Even the contractions that went on for weeks were far worse then the pain experienced in my first childbirth.

Can't we just agree that both hurt quite a bit guys/girls? Why not discuss whether Playstation or Xbox have better Internet?
DeleteI'm not trying to say that being kicked in the balls hurts more, I have almost no doubt it doesn't hurt as much but I think the key thing here is that giving birth gives you a child whereas being kicked in the balls can prevent you from ever having children. Not only that but let's be honest here, no matter how you look at it in this day and age almost wherever you are giving birth is a choice, and an honour, most people would prefer it to having a C-section if possible, being kicked in the balls is not. I agree that it may hurt women more but I disapprove of the way you've posted your view by briefly stating what can happen after being kicked in the balls and then going into great detail on the birth section. I understand that you have personal experience with the latter but you honestly came across as a little aggressive towards the end and made me feel uncomfortable and actually want to reject you're view entirely because of it. In the future I would suggest you attempt to write from a less bias point of view or risk pushing an opposing viewpoint to your own onto people. I'm not trying to be a horrible person, just trying to give honest advice on how you came across.
ReplyDeleteExactly.. It did say "angry/bitter" for a second there.. And there will be more like her.. She started off saying there's no 'del' unit of pain but yet, she believed the diagnosis that the female experiences 45 dels then aimed to discredit the fact that men experience 9000 dels. I know for a fact its not 9000 but I wouldnt say how much it is since she wouldnt believe anyways. Her answer is out there if she wouldve spent just a few more minutes/hours looking for an unbiased answer.
DeleteQuincy she said that a del of pain if a fake unit and discredited both statements. The bias part was deviating from the subject at hand which is experiencing the immediate pain of either birth or a groin kick but rather described the whole process leading up to childbirth, the process of, and the recovery afterward to make it seem much longer and more excruciating while leaving out details like being prepared to be pregnant, making it a choice, and having people help you, none of which you would see with a groin shot. Also details such as an epidural are excluded. Childbirth with an epidural was described to me as "just a lot of pressure" but no real pain. Wish there was an epidural for a groin kick.
DeleteTo all of the women saying "you've never given childbirth", well YOU'VE never been kicked in the balls! You say it goes away after 30 minutes and it's alright and there's no recovery, once again WRONG. I'm 17 and I've taken a few good direct hits to the balls, probably 4 or 5. That alone should say something, I don't know of anyone who has given birth 4 times before turning 18.
ReplyDeleteThe nausea can stay for weeks, it's a full body pain that lasts. Not only that, but giving birth in no way hurts your pride, you don't have 10 guys standing around you laughing because you can't walk for about an hour.
I'll agree with pretty much all of what you've said, but women also have to deal with periods and getting punched in the boob.
DeleteHow on Earth can you say it "in no way hurts your pride"? You don't know people's lives, what if a young teenage girl was raped and didn't want to have an abortion because she didn't want to kill an innocent life and gave birth to the child? Wouldn't feel to good having an unplanned for child huh? And who said the pain only lasts for 30 minutes? After a woman gives birth, she bleeds for 30 days straight, and I'm pretty damn sure that hard-core period comes along with cramps. Y'all boys always saying how 'oh I bet cramps don't even hurt that much!' But before you start assuming things why don't you try asking what it feels like? I'll tell ya what it feels like, it feels like someone is piercing nails into your lower abdomen and then having those nails hammered! Sure cramps may not feel like that all the time but still, do YOU receive pain like that on a monthly basis? I'm not trying to say getting kicked in the balls don't hurt. I know that it probably hurts like hell,as I've been told. But I'm pretty sure you don't get kicked in the balls every one a month and certainly not for three days straight. Yeah, I know, getting kicked in the balls does indeed hurt like a bitch. But to say it hurts more than giving childbirth? C'mon, give women at least A LITTLE bit more credit. Your mum had to go through the pain of squeezing you through her walnut-sized privacies, you who were about the size of a watermelon (sizes vary of course, not all babies are born large).

DeleteI once got in a motor cycle accident where I literally fell off a small cliff. I landed full force on my right testicle near the handlebars. No padding, no rubber. Just metal. So after taking that 15 foot drop... Excruciating pain. Nausea. Vomiting. The worst amount of pain I've ever felt. It was terrible. After that, I began to go numb. My jaw was shaking and I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. I don't care what women say. Nothing in this world could compare to a flush hit in the nuts.
ReplyDeleteI cringed so bad reading this, and felt a bit of pain myself. Women go through a lot, yes. What has been overlooked is the level of pain. Women have pain spread over time, but men feel an initial pain that, in my opinion, would exceed the the level of pain during childbirth. The other thing being overlooked is the type of hit to the testicles. Your experience vs a kick is worlds apart.
DeleteI didn't finish my statement before posting, sorry. The pain is subjective, so every argument is different. I believe that women may have it worse for pain in the run of the pregnancy, taking into account the pain women have to endure, but as I said before, the initial pain level is what is compared. Back to the subjective part. Some men have had traumatic hits to the testicles, such as John, and there are other men may have only had a swift kick to the testicles. The experience definitely varies. On the other hand, I have read and heard of women who have had excruciating pain during childbirth while taking no drugs, and some who have very little pain with no drugs. The experience of child birth can last a few minutes to hours. The last part I feel I need to mention is the use of drugs and anesthetics. A great number of women take these drugs to go through childbirth with little to no pain. It's all subjective.
DeleteSo what I'm hearing is that war would be completely over if we could get all the enemy men kicked in the balls in one day. Because it apparently incapacitates you all for days, cripples you, mentally and emotionally damages you forever, and may even kill you.
ReplyDeleteThey do wear cups for a reason lol you think you are the first genius to think that
DeleteI was in the army, and the men were not required to wear cups.
DeleteI was in the army, and the men were not required to wear cups.
Deleteso... what I'm hearing is you may or may not be mentally retarded because getting close enough to kick every enemy in the nuts in battle is almost impossible. Especially when they are wielding guns or dropping bombs on your location. Also to add to the conversation actually related to people getting kicked in the nuts, It hurts more at the time of impact than childbirth. Men's bodies are not designed to be kicked in the nuts, Women's bodies are designed to give birth. There are different pain receptors in men and women. Put it this way, if a women had a man's receptors while giving birth she would be in 10x the pain that a woman with woman's receptors giving birth would be in. Ever notice how women getting kicked in the crotch don't cry for hours about the intense pain and men do. that's because women are built to experience pain in this region while men are not. The argument about which hurts more is stupid. Scientists compare the pain of getting kicked in then nuts to be higher than the pain of giving birth at initial impact however diminishing to below the pain of birth thereafter. But the sensitivity of getting kicked in the nuts is like putting your brain in a paper bag and letting someone kick it. @Remee fiscus, this is not a sexist conversation this is a debate between men and women about which hurts more, not duration, or getting sick during pregnancy, this is about PAIN and PAIN alone. Women have a higher pain tolerance than men, end of story. Take your feminism bullshit elsewhere and stop trying to make this seem like men are keeping women down by expressing their thoughts on getting kicked in the balls vs. giving birth. Get off your high horse, this isn't the 60's anymore women have rights so do us all a favor and don't say anything unless you are going to keep it objective. Another thing men don't have an "attitude issue" causing them to get kicked in the nuts, people have no idea the actual pain of getting kicked in the nuts which is why people think it's a joke when they kick someone there. And an upset girlfriend would kick a guy in the nuts not knowing that they could potentially ruin his life, render him sterile, cause him to lose a testicle which would result in the loss of testosterone . If I go by your logic next time a girlfriend pisses me off and we break up I should get her pregnant so she has to experience the pain of childbirth, or maybe i'll stick a 10 lb weight in her uterus that can only be removed through "birthing it" or through a c-section, that makes sense doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAdam Jacques, are you nuts?
DeleteWomen do not have higher tolerance of pain but they CAN TOLERATE more pain
There is a difference, they are much much more sensitive, that's why kicking a women and a man is a difference.
It is like telling because God is all powerful one does not feel pain, Yes feels, more then anyone else.
And vaginal aria is MOST sensitive aria of women,
so take your robot space man theories about "this aria is designed to take pain" and swallow it.
But it is good You mentioned "design" as you then at least get the spiritual and religious point
what? "Women do not have higher tolerance of pain but they CAN TOLERATE more pain."
Deleteis this written by a 12 year old. If you are going to input proof read first.
your point on "so take your robot space man theories about "this aria is designed to take pain" and swallow it. " is completely invalid because you are saying women are not meant to give birth or withstand the pain that follows?
Men's testicles are the most sensitive part of their body and are NOT meant to make contact with anything. This is why they are close to the pelvis and in between the legs out of the way. There is a very thin, loose skin protecting the balls because evolution never needed it to be thicker for protection to survive.
Religion has nothing to do with this either so i advise you research and proof read... and learn to spell "AREA"
What I'm going to say is:
ReplyDeleteUnless you have both had your sack kicked hard and given birth to a child, there is no way to compare the pain that either of those events can bring.
amen
DeleteThank you, so with that note, we are equal.
DeleteHow about we just put it this way so there isn't any sexism going around. Who cares what hurts more? They both hurt immensely. I give big credit to women and men for both enduring that much pain. Your facts were solid. I congratulate you on that. Most people would just say what they think. But that is getting off topic. The thing I am most shocked about is how people think that they have it worse. Why would you want to try to say that you take more pain? Is that trying to prove something to the opposite gender? How about we just call it even and be there for one another when they are going through pain instead of arguing about it.
ReplyDeleteBeta af
DeleteI don't pretend to know which one hurts more, however logic dictates that the pain of childbirth is "worth it" to have children. I for one am not willing to be kicked in the balls in exchange for children, and i think most men would agree with me. I would also like to point out that a brused testicle isn't the same a a shattered one. I have been brused and i would give the pain a 9 out of 10 (10 being "Kill me please") i couldn't even imagine breaking a testicle. And yes, it is true that the pain stays with you for months (i assume the time it takes to heal).
ReplyDeleteI have to hand it to you ladies. I believe that you have it far worse than us guys.
ReplyDeleteCucked & soyfilled
DeleteThank you for actually being intelligent about this but what it comes down to is there is no way of comparing pain that two separate people have, when i saw those birth ones popping up i couldn't believe people believed it and then when i saw the nutshot ones i was astounded someone thought it had any scientific backing. Pain is 100% subjective two women can feel completely different spectrum of pain from childbirth and two men can feel two completely different spectrums of pain from being kicked in the nuts, two compare two peoples amount of pain in an attempt to pat yourself on the back is petty at best.
ReplyDeleteThis debate isnt really about "who can tolerate how much pain" or "who has it worse". It started as women trying to get some appreciation for all the trouble they have to go through for our species survival and then men whining about how they are the ones who should get more credit cause getting hit in the ball hurts too. Why are men always trying to step all over women and take credit away from them? Why else would men be comparing getting kicked in the balls with labor and childbirth? Men dont deserve appreciation or credit for enduring a kick in the balls, those giving them credit... wtf? And for those who said that a kicked groin must hurt more because women seek to have multiple kids but men dont seek getting hit in the balls, you obviously never been on youtube. Men experiment various ways to get hit in the balls FOR FUN. Not for children, for fun. Also, the guys that mentioned a guy could die or be permantly incapacitated from a kick in the ball therefor it must be worse, look up statistics of women who have died or suffered permanent health issues through child birth vs. men who have died or suffered permanent health issues because of ball kicks. One is super common, especially without medical intervention and supervision and one is very rarely need medical intervention or supervision and results in a few rare cases of a damaged teste in extreme cases. Youll likely find these sentances: "testicular trauma is fairly uncommon" or "cases of blunt trauma to the testicles are minor and usually require only conservative therapy"
ReplyDeleteExactly "it started as women trying to get appreciation"
DeleteIf childbirth is so rewarding then there is no need to go on the internet and try to get appreciation. Your child is your reward, you should be appreciative that you have a child rather than spending all day online researching and intensely blogging about how under-appreciated moms are
people asking well of it hurts so bad why continue having children.. well duh! we go through pain for another life! of course u dont want to go thru the pain of getting kicked in the balls bc in the end you are left with nothing but bruised nuts.. women go thru labor, extreme pain, with something to show for it..
ReplyDeletesadly you proved almost every guys point on here right now. unfortunately since none of the women on here could focus on the subject at hand which was "the immediate pain of childbirth vs a groin kick" and started making it about which one is more important well you just proved it is less worth it to be kicked in the balls thus more unpleasant. If you are going focus on pain, do so if not then this whole argument is irrelevant because there is no value in getting kicked in the balls, women just seem to think it is okay to do.
DeleteI'm pretty sure you were never kicked in the balls, you might of had kids, but never kicked in the balls. Leave it at it's the same pain. If you don't want to, then grow a pair of balls get kicked, and then let's see. Please don't make stupid remarks, about child birth and groin kick, because you can't experience both. Think before you post an idiotic argument. I'm not saying that groin kick hurts more or anything, just be equal and fair. Bygones be bygones.
ReplyDeleteAlso I don't care who you are, but you get kicked in the nuts hard enough you don't go into rage, you're face hits the ground and you are trying to breathe. I'm 15 got hit about 8 times, hard, and by a soccer ball, baseball, football, you name it, I fall straight to the ground and nearly start vomiting or either crying, so yeah, it hurts like hell.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I had a similar experience in soccer. I was goalie, and a girl from the other team managed to kick the ball just right, and hit both of my testicles directly. I fell over, and crawled to the other side of the net, and sat there until I could limp over to where my team was sitting.
DeleteIt's actually a typo. Del is suppose to be Dol. I googled this and I came up with this explanation http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=24912
ReplyDeleteIf you got kicked in the balls by Bruce Freakin' Lee, that is probably the most painful experience I could ever think of. True giving birth is more painful OVER TIME than being kicked in the nuts, but it's probably more painful being kicked in the nuts about 10 seconds after you get hit for about 30 seconds.

ReplyDeleteat the end of the day, you say we can't say anything because we haven't experienced childbirth, but i suppose you have AND been kicked in the balls? EXACTLY, lets put it in simpler terms, a woman has a child, decides to have another one and then another maybe she has 4 or 5 children in total, the pain is so bad that she decides to do it all over again, no, in fact the majority of women forget the pain of childbirth just minutes after it's over, now lets compare that to a man, a man gets kicked in the balls, does he decide later in life that he wants another kick, and another, maybe 4 or 5? NO because it's painful and it's either more painful, or men just have the common sense to decide not to go through it again, so at the end of the day there are 3 possibilities.
ReplyDelete1:childbirth isn't as painful as being kicked in the balls.
2: women a complete idiots and have no common sense, but men do.
3: women are all masochists and enjoy pain to want to go through it again, if that's the case, then it's not painful if you secretly enjoy it.
So let women decide, childbirth really isn't that painful, or women are idiots, im not saying either is true, but if one is false then the other must be true, that's for you to decide :)
I had testicular torsion so.......yea
ReplyDeleteDamn...
Delete...
yea...
They have it wrong. It is a "dol" of pain not a "del" of pain.
ReplyDelete(Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of_measurement)
Pain
See also: Pain scale, Dolorimeter, Pain and Nociception
The dol (from the Latin word for pain, dolor) is a unit of measurement for pain.
James D. Hardy, Herbert G. Wolff, and Helen Goodell of Cornell University proposed the unit based on their studies of pain during the 1940s-1950s. They defined one dol to equal to "just noticeable differences" (jnd's) in pain. The unit never came into widespread use and other methods are now used to assess the level of pain experienced by patients.
Forget getting kicked in the balls, men have by far the most kidney stones. Emergency room nurses will flat out tell you they'd rather have all their kids over again than one bad kidney stone--especially since epidurals are standard for child birth.
ReplyDeleteOkay, well woman saying child birth hurts worse then a kick to the balls, try getting kicked so hard and loseing one. Because that's what happened to me. You wanna talk about some pain worst pain of my life, and I shattered my left leg. So next time most of you" Woman" wanna say child birth hurts be a man for a day and lose a nut.
ReplyDeletedels ARE a unit measured by a device called a dolorimeter In 1940, James D. Hardy, Harold G. Wolff and Helen Goodell of Cornell University introduced the first dolorimeter as a method for evaluating the effectiveness of analgesic medications.[2] They did their work at New York Hospital. They focused the light of a 100 watt projection lamp with a lens on an area of skin that had been blackened. They found that most people expressed a pain sensation when the skin temperature reached 113 °F (45 °C). They also found that after the skin temperature reached 152 °F (67 °C), the pain sensations did not intensify even if the heat was increased. They developed a pain scale, called the "Hardy-Wolff-Goodell" scale, with 10 gradations, or 10 levels. They assigned the name of "dols" to these levels.[3][4] Unfortunately, other researchers were not able to reproduce the results of Hardy, Wolff and Goodell and the device and the approach was abandoned.[5] Harvard Medical School Professor and Massachusetts General Hospital Anaesthetist Henry K. Beecher (1957) expressed skepticism about this method of measuring pain.[6]
ReplyDeleteIn 1945, Time magazine reported that Cleveland's Dr. Lorand Julius Bela Gluzek had developed a dolorimeter that measured pain in grams.[7][8] Dr. Gluzek claimed that his dolorimeter was 97% accurate.
One of life's greatest mysteries, we can never experience both.
ReplyDeleteI know, right!
DeleteWell, most people.
sex change?
DeleteIf your a chock dont think you can get some nuts and vice versa... if your a dude you cant change and have a kid... well at least i dont think science has gone that far yet...
DeleteWhat the hell is the obsession with convincing everyone of how horrible childbirth is? I admit, it has to be horrible, but to ever even try to say a man could not imagine that pain? How about any person (man OR woman) who has been in an accident that leaves them torn open? Or soldiers who get their legs and arms blown off? I'm sure being skinned alive or drawn and quartered would probably surpass childbirth, and that plus equally horrendous torture has happened to a huge number of people for not being religious enough. Anyone who says childbirth is the worst pain is forgetting all the other ways pain can be inflicted. Many women have admitted themselves that they have gone through worse pain through various other types of injuries. Plus really, childbirth is painful I know I've seen it in action, and if I were a woman I'd probably have gotten my tubes tied right at 18 years old because I would NEVER have been willing to go through it. Which really brings me to the end of this, women get to choose not to be pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! Also, I'm planning on actually doing what you mentioned in the second last sentence.
DeleteNone of what you said is true. You said you had an EPIDURAL. Once you had that you were numb for the rest of your experience. You didn't feel you episiotomy, the stitching none of it. So when it come to the pain, the mans out in this occasion. Maybe be more truthful next time
ReplyDeleteUntil you have suffered from Trigeminal Neuralgia, you dont know the meaning of pain. Take your worst experience of pain, times it by 100, and then put it in your FACE! TN leave child birth (and yes Ive experienced it twice), and being kicked in the nuts for dust!

ReplyDeleteYou can't compare,1 kick vs hours of child birth. So you have to say hours of kick to the nuts vs hours of labor
ReplyDeleteWhy dont we just agree that both male AND female genitals are vary sensitive to pain because of the number of nerves in the region. This is why pleasure is so intense there as well. And sensitive organs are going to experience more pain than other regions no matter what kind of trauma occurred; blunt force, cut, stabbed, stretched, tattooed, illness, etc. I feel this argument is pointless beyond that fact because pain is different in every individual and circumstance.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with this argument is the pain is totally different. With child birth there's (normally) a LONG build up of a lower degree of pain that grows and intensifies as the contractions increase and intensify. Just for arguments sake let's say Braxton hicks are a 3 for a normal contraction. Guys these kick in MONTHS in advance. Up to somewhere between a 9-10 at the height of full on labor. Now a good kick in the balls will 100% guaranteed put a man on the floor. With INSTANT 9-10 pain level. Literally debilitating. After somewhere between 5-30 min he's able to walk and move around even function normally but there is a constant pain somewhere between a 5-7 for hours. This pain continues for up to 24+hours. Constant like a bad headache. Both get to the same level of intensity. But a kick to the balls is instant with a decline, child birth is the exact opposite build up over time to the top. Child birth usually remain at that high level for a longer sustained period of time, however childbirth is generally not debilitating (until it's over and the exhaustion sets in on top of the pain). If we just go by highest pain point of either not taking into consideration the length of time the pain is felt they are probably equal or at least in the ball park of one another. The difference comes with how fast they each set in and how long they remain. In which case the childbirth will generally edge out in total amount of pain felt just because it remains at a slightly higher level for longer. Now not all births need an episiotomy and probably 99.99%of kicks to the balls don't result in a ruptured testicle but those would obviously throw a curve in the pain lengths due to recovery and what not. Basically the actual acts themselves get to the same level of intensity just at different speeds and trail off differently as well. I was only meaning to put in my 2 cents but looks like you got the whole dollar bill lol.
ReplyDeleteBest explanation ever. 10/10
DeleteI've read through your article, and yes childbirth is more painful than being kicked in the balls, however not by as much as you'd think. According to several studies using a scale of 1-75, the pain a women goes through during labor is a 30-40 which lasts for hours, but can go up to 57 during contractions which last just a few seconds. The instant pain a man feels when being kicked in the balls is a 52, but within 5 minutes his pain level will have decreased to about a 20. And within 20 mins it will be down to a dull ache 5-10. I hope this was helpful, and I hope you understand that both pains are extremely high on the pain scale, however childbirth lasts a very long time thus making it the worst if the two pains to endure. Thank you
