Girls; Should I wear a protective cup?...

Anonymous

A question for girls... I have an impending mixed gender competitive martial arts fight coming up against a girl and I'm unsure whether to wear a protective cup? A kick or knee to the balls is an allowed move, but guys are allowed to wear a cup if they want. I find cups a little restrictive though and believe that a girl wouldn't kick or knee a guy there anyway because of how sensitive they are, even though it's an allowed move. Should I wear the cup, or is it safe to assume she wouldn't kick or knee me in the balls, knowing how much pain & agony it would cause? Advice please girls... Thank you.

Since it's an allowed move, you know that there's a chance that you might get kicked or kneed in that area. None of us can know for sure whether or not the girl you fight would use that move or not. So basically, how okay are you with that risk? If you're not okay with risking it, then wear the cup.

  Yeah, it's the risk factor I have to weigh up... On one hand I want to feel comfy and agile for the fight, but on the other hand it risks the girl kicking or kneeing me as hard as she can, which would obviously be a devastating and agonizing winning strike... Thanks for your reply... :o)

  Well I opted not to wear the cup, but I should have! I was competing against a girl in the final and going into the very last round I was winning on points, but I was so tired I ended up stood with my legs wide open, so she ran up and kicked me in the balls as hard as she could, right in front of my girlfriend sitting in the front row, which left me rolling around on the floor screaming in agony! Tell me Would you have done the same as her and would you have felt any guilt or concern for me?

  Hi... Within the last 24 hours I've had problems accessing my account, so if you've tried replying to the questions in my last comment and not been able to, that may be why?... Otherwise, I hope to hear back from you and would really appreaciate your thoughts... Thanks!... :o)

  No, I wouldn't do the same thing as her. I think that going for that kind of "weak" spot in order to win isn't really "winning". I'd rather win because of my skills/abilities. That said, if I accidentally hurt them in that area, I'd probably show a bit of concern, as in, "Hey, are you okay?", but I wouldn't really feel guilty if it were the case that he opted to not wear a cup.

  Thanks for getting back to me... It's nice to know there's someone out there who wouldn't have done that though! I just cannot believe I was less than a minute away from winning the whole competition and lost to a girl kicking me in the balls as hard as she could, bearing in mind I was not allowed to wear a protective cup, and I know she did it as hard as she could because I got to glance at her for a split second as she was making her run up and I could see the anger and aggression on her...

  ... face. On impact of the kick I screamed in shock and almost felt myself lift off the floor, and I vaguely remember the whole audience go Oooh! as I crashed to the floor in absolute agony while she celebrated her win. I am OK now though, but I hope never to have to go through that agonising experience again! Can I just ask lastly, if you were watching as a neutral, say you were sat in the front row... How would you have reacted to seeing and hearing that happen?...

  To be honest, and I'll apologize if I'm wrong, but to me, this question seems like more of a "fetish" question than a serious question. I know there are a number of guys who are aroused by being kicked or otherwise have their genitals hurt by a girl (or at least the fantasy of it). What further makes me question the validity of your question is the fact that you've changed your story (in your original question, you said that you were allowed to wear a cup and now you're saying you were not
- selfishstars

  allowed).
- Asker

  lol I had to declare whether I was going to wear one, so once I'd submitted that I wasn't then that was decision made, so had I wanted to change my mind at the last minute, then that would not have been allowed... My decision not to wear one was final. But after what I went through I certainly don't see it as any 'fetish' as you call it! lol
- selfishstars

  Well, to answer your question, I would probably cringe if I was in the audience and I saw that, but as I've said, it was your choice to not wear the cup, knowing the possible consequences. And as far as me thinking this could be a "fetish" question, there is a guy on this site who posts almost daily, betting women in New Jersey 500 dollars that they don't have the guts to kick him in the crotch.

  To clarify a bit, I would cringe at any kind of devastating "blow", because I don't enjoy seeing people get hurt.
- Asker
  +1 y
  lol Well I'm certainly not that guy, although one of the female answerers to this question has asked me the same question as to whether I'm that guy or not, but I'm definitely not! lol But anyway, yeah... There were quite a lot of girls watching, so I just wondered what the general reaction might have been... I would have hoped that most of the girls would have cringed and found it quite unpleasant to both see and hear!... But thanks for your replies! :o)
- Asker

  As per your last comment, yeah... I know any finishing blow might be cringing, but obviously a girl kicking me in the balls literally as hard as she could was devastatingly painful and I guess that might be more cringing than any other blow... Especially with the screaming in agony I had to go through!...

  I guess you've learned your lesson and will wear a cup next time.
- Asker

  Oh yeah, definitely! I kinda hoped a girl wouldn't do that and opted for comfort and agility and it worked right up until the last minute, but obviously I tired and she took advantage big time!... So next time (if there is one) I'll definitely opt to wear the cup just in case!... Thanks again.

If it's an allowed move in a competitive situation, it's probably a good idea to protect yourself.

And if you're that new jersey guy... if you are I don't even know what to say to you actually.

  Well, there's a reason why I don't do martial arts. I tend to veer away from physically hurting people (even in a controlled, competitive atmosphere). It's just how I am. But not all girls are like me, as your experience demonstrated. I think it was pretty silly not to protect yourself from something that was, as you said, an allowed move. I hope you will not make that mistake again.
- Asker

  Yeah, I guess you were right, but I opted for comfort hoping that would help me win. I just can?t believe I was less than a minute away from winning the whole competition and lost to a girl kicking me in the balls as hard as she could, and I know she did it as hard as she could because I got to glance at her for a split second as she was making her run up and I could see the anger and aggression on her face...

wear the cup.

unless you're doing grappling, where there is no kicking, wear the darn cup.

why the heck are you asking girls about this anyway?

  I am asking girls to try and get a perspective on whether a girl is likely to use a move like that... to help me decide whether or not to wear the cup. Thanks for your reply... :o)
- ThatNikkiGirl
  +1 y
  Personally, I wouldn't intentionally use a move like that, but I've accidentally kicked some guys there more than once. (ex: I was bent over the back of a couch and a guy tickled me from behind and as a reflex, I kicked.)
- Asker
  +1 y
  Yeah, I like to think that a girl wouldn't choose to use a move like that, and I'm more comfy not wearing the cup. But there's always the risk that she could kick or knee me in the balls given the chance. So I need to weigh up feeling comfy & agile in the fight against the chance of being kicked or kneed in the balls, possibly as hard as she could, which would leave me in absolute agony! Thanks again though... :o)

  I would not done the same at all as her. That was a cheap blow. I believe strongly in leaving a man's junk alone in a fight unless I'm about to be murdered or raped or the guy murdered/raped a friend/family member. Had I done it by accident, I would feel very upset and a deep concern for your potential for future children. I would probably have done a grappling move to get you on your back.

  Ps... I've just noticed that further up I've written I was not allowed to wear a protective cup, but obviously that was not the case... I was, but chose not to wear it!... D'oh!

If the fight is close, then fight how you usually fight; competition is no time for innovation.

If you think you have enough time to get use to the cup, then introduce it, but if you wouldn't wear it for a dude, then I don't see using it just because your opponent's a girl.

wear it. no doubt in my mind. I've trained in a martial art for 8 years and been in countless tournaments where my cups been hit (ours are compulsory). bearing in mind all our kicks have to above the belt of course. accidents happen and that's a place you don't want no accidents

Hmmmmmm, this competion wouldn't be taking place in New Jersey, would it?

Any wagering going on regarding the likelihood of any girls over the age of 18 landing a kick in that particular area?

if she is allowed to kick or knee you, she probably will so I would say wear the cup

  im not one to fight, so I would never have even entered a fight like that in the first place. but if I ever had to defend myself, I would feel no remorse in doing something like this to an attacker. and since this is a girl who does enjoy fighting, I would say that she probably didn't feel bad, because she doesn't mind hitting you anywhere else. why would hitting you in the balls make her feel bad, but hitting you in the face wouldn't?

  I thought she wouldn't have done that, or felt bad if she did because of the intense & devastating pain that it caused... I mean she literally ran up and kicked me in the balls as hard as she possibly could knowing that I wasn't wearing a cup and on impact I screamed in shock and fell to the floor literally rolling around screaming in agony!... While she just started jumping around laughing & celebrating! Surely causing that agony by kicking me in the balls would make her feel some guilt...?
