Girls, Have you ever hit a someone in the balls, but it wasn't for self-defense?

[Anonymous]

Honestly, I don't think girls have any right to hit a someone in the balls, even for self-defense. But if you have done it without "self-defense" was it justified? Did you feel guilty about it?

[weasley8]

When I was about eight my brother dared me to kick him in the crotch. I don't know why he would dare me to do that sort of thing. It seems like it would be harder for him than it would be for me, but he dared me to, so I did. He was about six though. So I don't think it hurt him anymore than it would hurt to kick him anywhere else. And I didn't kick very hard anyway. So he wasn't really hurt by it, and therefore I didn't feel all that guilty about it.

That's all that comes to mind, as I'm assuming that you're counting a friend sneaking up on you as a joke to be self defense if you didn't know that that's who it is. That's happened to me a few times. Some of my friends think it's funny to sneak up behind me and pick me up. But I have a history of attracting dangerous guys, so I would usually assume that they had bad intent and react instinctively.

[Asker]

But didn't you feel guilty when you hit your friends in the balls?

[weasley8]

Yes. I did actually, and I apologized about fifty times despite him telling me that it was his fault. But it also wasn't intentional. He snuck up on me, not knowing that I have a history with dangerous men.

For self defense, I would absolutely kick him in the balls, hard.

But I've never been in that situation and I don't randomly assault people, so the answer to your question is no. People shouldn't go around hitting people in general for no reason in my opinion.

I hit a guy in the balls because he harassed my friend. He cursed at me and hit me directly in the clitoris... that shit dropped me so fast. Everyone knows about the balls but nobody tells you that the genitals are a woman’s weak spot, too. If a woman ever gives you trouble and you want to drop her fast, hit her there. It takes one blow to stop any woman in her tracks and instantly incapacitate her, and you don’t even need to be experienced to carry it out. Anyway, the answer is yes but I got what I deserved. I felt like I couldn’t breathe for a few hours after that... I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone else ever again.

[Hannah_98]

I have never hit anyone, so no. If it’s gotten to the point where a person needs to physically defend themselves, they most certainly have the right to hit the assailant wherever it counts.

[Asker]

I don't get that logic. Like, you'd hit them even in the groin? Like, why not choose some other place? seriously

[Hannah_98]

Cause it’s a weak spot? If I’m being attacked by a dude, I’m gonna be aiming for whatever spot I can to get away from him. The groin just happens to be one of those.

[Asker]

Okay, no, not really. Who ever said it was a weak spot? There's no encycopedia that claims anyting like that, so aren't you just going off of info that you hear from media and stuff?

[Hannah_98]

Bruh, there are tons of nerve endings around the genital area. It’s one of the most highly concentrated areas of the body in that regard.

I’m a nursing student and yes, there is a ton of medical research attributing to that, so I don't know what you’re talking about.

[thegirlfromthething]

Nope. But why do you think it isn’t acceptable in cases of self-defense? If a guy doesn’t respect your safety and health, you shouldn’t respect his.

[Asker]

I dunno. I just don't think girls should do that? My dad always said that girls shouldn't disrespect a guy that way; like, that area is not meant to be treated roughly, especially by women

[thegirlfromthething]

If someone attacks you they’re already being disrespectful and treating you roughly. They don’t deserve respect or gentleness anymore- it’s okay to defend yourself and end the assault as quickly and effectively as you can. If you’re unarmed and your attacker is a guy, hitting him in the balls is the best way to do that.

[Asker]

That's what a ton of women's defense things say. Like, what the hell makes the balls so special that it's the "best way"? Why not do a left hook to the cheek or a Russian takedown, seriously. Sooo many things that I know I can do to any man who attacks me

[thegirlfromthething]

They’re extremely sensitive and it just takes one blow to stop a guy in his tracks. It’s quick, you don’t have to be stronger than him, you don’t need any special training to make it effective, and you won’t exhaust yourself by prolonging the fighting.

[Asker]

But seriously, where do people get their information nowadays. Who ever claimed it was 'extremely sensitive'? Like, you're not authority or something

[thegirlfromthething]

You could look at medical research, like a sensible person. I don’t have to be an authority to know what authorities are saying. Testicles contain sensitive nerve endings without strong barriers between them, so even a light blow can be very painful.

[Asker]

Yea, that’s not my experience. I’ve never been hit in the testicles, but I’m 99% sure that if a guy ever climb that, he’s just overall wimp rather than right

[Asker]

* claimed.

[thegirlfromthething]

Hit yourself in the testicles then, or ask someone else to do it. And I mean really hit.

[Asker]

I would never ask someone else, that’s just plain dumb. You’re being really inconsistent, cuz you claimed that even a “light blow” will work, but I’d have to really hit for it to work?

[thegirlfromthething]

You seem like the type to lightly poke yourself and say it didn’t hurt so everything I told you was wrong. If it’s that difficult to believe that testicles are sensitive, just read this.
healthywa.wa.gov.au/.../Testicular-conditions
Or this and this. Testicles are a better place to hit than other body parts if you want to fend off a guy.

[Asker]

Thanks for sourcing. I don’t think you’re giving me enough credit, though, cuz I wouldn’t do that. Like fine, l will try hitting myself, but I seriously doubt it’ll be that much worse than punch any where else

[thegirlfromthething]

Try punching your arm and then punching your testicles equally hard. Or seriously ask someone to do it, because that will show you what happens to guys who get hit in the balls and try to keep fighting afterwards. Plus it’s easier for someone else to hit you than yourself.

[Asker]

Okay, I’ll just punch myself in the arm then equally hard, it’d be easier. And no, I won’t punch lightly.

[thegirlfromthething]

How’s it going?

[Asker]

Guess you were right. Why the hell did you make me do that?

[thegirlfromthething]

You didn’t take the experts’ word for it so you had to learn the hard way. Now do you see why girls go for the balls if a guy attacks them?

[Asker]

I seriously can't concentrate rigt now, its near half and hour, its still hurts a lot. If your such an expert on this how when does it stop

[Asker]

Yea okay I see why

[Asker]

I couldn’t breathe for a few minutes I don’t know how you don’t feel like shit for doing this

[thegirlfromthething]

I don’t know how hard you hit yourself so maybe you’re permanently damaged. But it could take hours, probably.

[thegirlfromthething]

You didn’t have to hit yourself. You could have believed the credible sources I showed you, but you didn’t want to believe my research so you brought this on yourself.

[Asker]

It wasn't hard. Same hit only hurt my arm a little bit. Its seriously probably the worst pain I’ve ever felt though

[Asker]

I just thought you were talking crap cuz “extremely sensitive” sounded exaggerated but I guess its not

[thegirlfromthething]

Now you know not to doubt me 😊

[Asker]

Yeah, okay. I’ll give credit where it’s due. I don’t think I could fight, or probably do anything if someone hit me like this, especially if they did it harder. So yeah, I get what you're saying now. And holy crap this is wayyy more pain than I ever thought haha

[Apple1996]

Yeah lots of times. And no I dont feel guilty I've had multiple guys ask me to kick them in the balls

[Asker]

What? Why would they ask for that?

[Apple1996]

Some guys are into it

[Asker]

That’s so random

[Aya17]

I haven't even hit someone in the balls in self defense😅I don't wanna have to either.

[Asker]

Dude, did you know they’re like super sensitive? Just found out the hard way and I couldn’t breathe haha

[Aya17]

Ik that they're super sensitive omg💀😂

[Asker]

How the heck did you know, and I didn’t know until now?

[BellaBlake]

No I would never, I bet it would hurt so much

[Asker]

Do you know how bad it hurts?

[BellaBlake]

No I’m not a guy

[Anonymous]

When I was five I hit my dad in the balls on accident. That’s all I can think of.
