Guys, does getting hit between the legs really hurt that badly?

It's only ever happened to me once, by accident, and yes; it is agonizing. I actually got nauseous, and threw up from it.

It's a different kind of pain than, say, stubbing your toe. That, you really only feel at the impact sight. Getting hit between the legs is radiating pain that just spreads throughout your body. It's not a sharp pain, so much as deep, throbbing pain.

I've been shot, stabbed, and had broken bones. I would easily choose any of those, again, over getting hit in the balls.

Broke and dislocated t ex my wrist, split oprn my skull (twice), dislocated my elbow, broke my gum, broke both big toes. Still prefer thrm to a hard hit in the balls.

[Twalli]

Yes. It is extremely painful. If you've ever been hit between the legs, you will feel some pain. Imagine getting hit that hard 100 times at once right there. That's about how painful it is for us, at the least. That's why we can pass out from the pain.

Men have died from it!

Honestly, no. It is a sort of half-paralyzing pain so it is experienced more than felt. It is in most cases no worse than sawing off a few fingers.

[Asker]

Jesus. You’ve sawed off fingers?

[Effably]

Me, no. Grandfather on my father's side, yes.

Yes, it really does. I was playing racquetball and caught one right on the balls. I was doubled over for a couple of minutes.

Is that considered a cup sport?

[slatyb]

@spartan55 It probably should be, but expert players don't turn their body toward a ball that is behind them.

@slatyb
Ah... painful mistake...

[John0986]

It's the worst pain I've ever felt in my life

[spartan55]

Do period cramps hurt that badly?

[Asker]

Mine hurt a little but it’s not abysmal most of the time
Keyword most they can get BAD occasionally

[spartan55]

Just attempting to make a comparison we can both relate to.

[Ckendrick06]

Yes it does

[In_Trance]

Of course it does

[Asgard356]

[zombiewoof]
