Helping a guy after he's been hit in the groin?

[laraWM]

It happened to a friend and I was surprised that none of the guys knew how to help him. For some reason, they rather laughed.

We tried to help with another girl but sadly it seems we weren't very helpful.

Thanks for the tips

There's not much you can do to help a guy who's already writhing in pain. The natural response to that kind of pain is going to the fetal position... and any deviation to that will make it more uncomfortable. Being hit in that region is extremely painful... not to mention embarrassing.

Trying to help him won't work because his pain will likely make him more irritable. Think of a woman having her cramps. I would imagine she would prefer being left alone.

Don't resent him too much if he gets upset. I just hope you understand his dilemma.

[laraWM]

Thank you, really helpful. It makes sense I guess.
He was indeed in some sort of fetal position and was not really nice when we tried to help. I understand but I felt bad leaving him alone because it looked really painful

[Wise4myage]

Ice can help.

[laraWM]

Thanks, unfortunately we had no ice at the time

[Wise4myage]

Yeah that sucks but guys can usually shake it off.

[laraWM]

Yes he did after a while, but I felt bad for him

[Wise4myage]

Well that’s nice.😊

[laraWM]

Thank you

[Wise4myage]

Your welcome, I got kicked in the balls once and it hurt for quite a while.

[laraWM]

I'm sorry to read that, I hope someone brought you some ice
To be honest I knew it hurt, but I didn't expect my friend to be stuck on the floor

[Wise4myage]

No I shook it off till I got home.

[laraWM]

Oh good, you look strong

[Wise4myage]

Thanks lol.😊

I help with the guy wrestlers sometimes and bjj no cups in wrestling or bjj so accidental groin strikes happen. Not much you can do really. Plus there are some moves where pressure on the groin is allowed so accidents and pain there is inevitable. Most Guys are fine after a few minutes.


What I do try to do the is if I’m sort of refereeing and it’s like a practice match or something I’ll immediately call time out when I see a strike there bc some guys are in lots of pain but try to tank it and let their egos get the best of them.


We had a guy who was more well endowed and I saw him take a heel when doing a practice match with a girl. He was on top and his junk bounced from it and she got him really accurately accident or not (I could tell bc singlets are so revealing) but the person who was officiating or sort of watching over the match never blew the whistle and the guy had too big of an ego and didn’t wanna give up. He rolled off massaging himself on the ground but kept trying to get up every 30 seconds and collapsing. It was really pitiful to watch the girl sort of tried to follow up but even she was going easy bc she felt bad eventually after in my opinion way too long the person watching stopped the match and he got a long recovery period. He was pretty strong and a good wrestler I think guys like that just don’t wanna stop even if it hurts but the suffering from him was completely unnecessary. I later learned lots of guys will try to power through so during practice I’ll always call time even if the hit looks lighter or medium bc sometimes after I call time the guy will collapse.

[laraWM]

Omg the poor guy. I don't know why but I thought the cup was mandatory for such sports
Yes exactly what happened to our friend, except he didn't try to get up. He was in the fetal position as a guy said here. But fortunately he was fine in the end.
Maybe you could try some ice. I think a guy mentionned it as helpful

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah most of the time it’s not as bad as you think as my guy friends have told me it rarely causes permanent injuries. It sort of just makes them collapse and go away. How did he get hit was he doing a sport what haperend exactly? Yeah I don’t know why they don’t wear cups but barely any do. It was so sad bc I sort of have a crush on the guy too 😅😭

[laraWM]

Yes he was kneed while we were playing basketball

[Opinion Owner]

To be honest wrestling makes me the most nervous when guys don’t wear cups because the singlets are so revealing. My crush was in this position when he took the heel and he had bigger balls than the guy in the gif. I cringed and felt bad bc his backside was facing me and I saw the impact happen in so much detail and so has junk compress and bounce and swing. You don’t really get that in any other sports

Also positions like this are pretty normal:

The view is nice and everything dont get me wrong but they just look so sensitive? I don’t know why some of them don’t wear underwear or support either. What do you think?

[Opinion Owner]

At least Im basketball there are lots of foul rules protecting them more and they wear those lose gym shorts so if anyone has true malintent it’s harder to aim. I still think they should wear cups though..

[laraWM]

I have no idea why they don't wear cups especially when they know well how much it hurts
In our case we were just playing for fun with some friends, and it was an accident

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah same even though I found the view hot before the hit I didn’t really like seeing his junk get beat up in such detail I’d much rather his man bits be protected. I heard your boyfriend got hit once too. I feel protective over guys almost bc of it in some ways it’s just such a sensitive area 😅😭😂. Like I want my guy to protect me and be good at sports and fighting but I also don’t want to see his junk get hurt it’s such a conflict! 🥲

[Opinion Owner]

To be completely honest if there were no rules against groin strikes and people didn’t care for some reason I think girls would win most of the matches against guys if they fought dirty every time. It seems like it would he too hard to dodge and guys are sensitive and the singlets reveal too much

[laraWM]

Yes it looks like it is easy place to be hit in.
It makes sense but I don't know because if the guy expects it he'd be more careful

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah that’s true but guys are pretty not used to defending themselves in wrestling and are pretty bad it seems hard to defend especially for the bigger guys but I’m sure they could learn.

Do you find the view of the singlets hot or does it just make you nervous? I like the view on my crush honestly even though he looks sensitive he still looks strong and masculine to me but I do get nervous sometimes

[laraWM]

Yes exactly it has been forbidden for so long, everyone forgets how to work on it.
If it was my boyfriend maybe it could be but a random guy I don't care seeing it

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah guys defense for that area is really bad luckily they have rules to help them though. I saw the story from that one girl allowed groin strikes in her gym in wrestling and nearly every guy lost bc he wasn’t expecting it or left his legs spread wide yikes. Even I feel like I could beat up a guy that way in a match. I might even be able to take my strong crush…do you think you could take your boyfriend in a wrestling match with groin moves allowed? Guys should really wear cups I still don’t know how to prevent them from collapsing whenever I see a guys balls bounce from a hit in his singlet I just KNOW he is going to go down

[laraWM]

I don't know I'm not a well trained like you. But you're right the reactions show that such kicks cannot be handled well

[MrMighty]

It’s pretty embarrassing to know that a girl can beat you so easily by aiming there. I don’t do wrestling but in my tae kwon do class I’ve been downed by girls as young as 7 because they kicked my there during sparring. Even with a cup it still hurts

[laraWM]

@MrMighty I hope you were not injured. Good you wear the cup, but you still go down with it?
I can understand you could feel embarrassed but accidents are part of each sport. Everyone can understand it is painful, no need to be embarrrassed about it

[MrMighty]

When a girl half my size takes me down with one kick and then giggles about it. It’s hard not to feel embarrassed. It’s emasculating

[laraWM]

@MrMighty I think I understand but you shouldn't overthink it.
Take the opportunity when it happens to tell her that it hurts a lot because she might not understand that if she's very young

[AviatorTom]

The best help you can give is to get the guy to lie down and stay calm, and maybe try to distract him from the pain. It will eventually go away in most cases. If it doesn't, he needs medical help.

[laraWM]

Thank you. Yes he was finally fine, although it looked really painful

[justEric]

Honestly I wouldn't know, but when soccer players get hit they usually lie in the ground and move their legs up and down

[laraWM]

Thank you, but not sure how to implement that. I don't really watch soccer but I'll look at it

[Red_Arrow]

Fall back on the old kiss it and make it better.

[laraWM]

True, thanks

[Anonymous]

That's how most men are. They complain about feminism benefiting women and being treated unfairly, but when people try to help they treat those people like shit.

[laraWM]

I guess you're right in some way. He was not really nice with us

[Opinion Owner]

I don't mean the guy I meant his asshole guy friends. And he might've been acting like that because he felt embarrassed.

[laraWM]

Oh yes of course. You're right for the guys. I thought they'd be first to help, like male solidarity.
Maybe he was embarrassed I don't know, we thought he was not nice because our help was useless

[exitseven]

Not much you can do. The pain will pass in a few minutes.

[laraWM]

Yes true, thank you

[Anonymous]

Not much you can do. He just has to tough it out. It can be extremely painful but it shouldn't last too long. He'll be alright. Just don't laugh at him or anything like that.

[laraWM]

Yes thank you. As I said some guys laughed at him but fortunately he was finally fine, although we were not really helpful

[userxvi]

I mean unless they are actually hurt normally guys just walk it off

[laraWM]

True, thank you. But I didn't expect so bad reaction

[CubaPirate]

Kiss it better
