What hurts more? - childbirth or getting kicked in the balls?

[Anonymous]

[SinghSong]

Depends. In the vast majority of cases, it'd obviously be childbirth. Seeing as how women actually die in childbirth, even today. But there are a few cases which could be considered exceptions, because contrary to what most women believe, we can actually die from being kicked in the balls too. A few examples:

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2438311/
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../?page=1
news.vice.com/.../the-deadly-science-behind-testicle-squeezing
www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...eads-murder-charge.html

And in these cases, I'd wager that getting kicked in the balls was far, FAR more painful than the average woman's experience of childbirth could ever be.

[Asker]

Well damn you've really given this some thought

[SinghSong]

Perhaps a bit too much thought. I need something to take my mind off the mental images I created for myself- any suggestions?

[Asker]

It's interesting to read though. Hmmm go for a run, read a book, watch a show, get laid? Lol

[SinghSong]

Already done that, already done that, already done that, and if only. Sigh...

[Asker]

Aw your time will come just don't hesitate to put yourself out there

[ADFSDF1996]

It all depends on the individual woman, some women say childbirth isn't too bad others say its excruciating. Now, it's possible that we'll never know which one hurts more in general since women don't know what getting a low blow feels like and men don't know how childbirth feels like but here is the thing. The female body is designed to give birth, the male body isn't designed to get kicked down there, so it's not really a fair comparison although that indicates a possibility that getting kicked down there is way more painful or about the same.

[mistixs]

the female body isn't "designed" to do anything. nothing is designed to do anything. evolution isn't a sentient entity.

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/.../abstract
"Over 80% of all parturients described their pain as very severe to intolerable, only 4% of the multiparous had low pain scores (0–2). After pain treatment 50% of multiparous women still had pain scores from 8 to 10."

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/.../abstract
"Women usually experienced severe pain and various degrees of anxiety, and most were seized with panic for a short time or some part of their labor."

www.ejog.org/.../abstract?cc=y=
"For most women, childbirth is associated with very severe pain often exceeding all expectations."

[ADFSDF1996]

@mistixs when I say design, I'm using a metaphor.

[samhradh_leannan]

Nobody has the ability to make that comparison, because nobody will ever experience both. But it probably varies a little from person to person anyway. Childbirth is definitely a more prolonged and harrowing experience overall, but as far as the level of pain, who can say.

[AskAlthea]

Childbirth. Also if you're curious, check out the try guys video on simulating the pain of childbirth on youtube.

[SinghSong]

Well, that video had virtually nothing to do with simulating the pain of actual childbirth. To actually simulate the pain of childbirth, a man would have to have a small balloon inserted up his urethra (roughly at the base of his dick to begin with), then have it inflated a little bit more every 5 to 20 minutes over the course of roughly 20 hours or so, up until it's roughly 1.2-1.5" wide (3.5" to 5" in girth). Then, use the muscles in his dick to push it down through his penis, 'pushing' once every one to three minutes, for however long it takes for him to force the balloon down (/up) until it becomes visible, poking out of the head of his penis. Then, have to stop pushing until it comes out of its own accord, ignoring the overwhelming urge to do so, while waiting for his glans to stretch out enough to reduce the risk of it permanently tearing apart. Tell me, guys (and OP); does that sound like it'd be more or less painful than getting kicked in the balls?

[AskAlthea]

@SinghSong I think they said in the video that childbirth hurts much more, but it's the closest a guy will come to the pain of childbirth in real life without inflicting potentially bodily harm onto them

[SinghSong]

But that video didn't replicate the 'pain' of contractions, any more than hooking up electrodes to a person's muscles and running thousands of volts of electricity through them would replicate the 'pain' of muscle cramps. It greatly exaggerated that element of the pain.

[AskAlthea]

@SinghSong I've never given birth to a child nor tried the simulation, so I can't compare it. That said, Eugene did say it felt like his anus and his balls were being ripped apart, which probably helps to somewhat simulate the tearing between the vagina and the anus during childbirth. It's a simulation, it's not perfect, and it's the closest guy will get to feeling a bit of the pain of childbirth. Does it need to be perfect? If a guy chooses to try the simulation, it gives him a small appreciation of trying to imagine what it might feel like for his SO to give birth, does it need to be a perfect simulation for him to understand it's worse than anything he's ever experienced? A guy won't have a vagina, he can't feel the pain of 'actual childbirth' unless you're somehow planning on giving him a vagina. But the contractions is something he can experience and it gives him a glimpse of what his SO might be feeling and better sympathize with her.

[Anonymous]

Who is in a position to be able to compare the two?

[Asker]

I'm pretty sure childbirth is the worst, the pain lasts way longer, i'm just curious to see what other people believe.

[SinghSong]

Well, the female equivalent to being kicked in the balls would be being kicked in the ovaries. If the ovaries were externalized, as opposed to being buried deep behind a a couple of inches' padding in the abdominal cavity. So if there were such a woman, with such exposed and vulnerable 'ovary sacs' bulging out on either side of her abdomen in the same way as guys' balls, then she would be would be able to experience both types of pain, and be in a position to compare the two.

I'm thinking WAY too much about this, aren't I?

[truthbeknown]

I heard this before at seems to make sense to me. Getting kicked in the balls is worse. Why? Because if you take a guy and kick him as hard as possible in the nuts, and then ask him if he would like to be kicked again about 2 or 3 years later he will say NO every time! If you ask a woman who has given birth about 2 or 3 years later if she would have another one, most women say yes!

[Asker]

Yes but women choose to do it because that's the only way to get a baby. I'm thinking about the physical pain, not so much the emotional part.

[mistixs]

Many men choose to go to war a second time. Does that mean that getting kicked in the balls is worse than war?

[truthbeknown]

@mistixs No offense, but that is sort of a stupid comparison. Lot of guys like to shoot, and blow shit up. Many guys are patriotic and feel it is their duty. Solders are a different breed of man so you really cannot compare them to the general public.

[mistixs]

Regardless, women go through childbirth a second time because they want a child. Something good comes out of it.

If men got to have sex with a 10/10 hot chick whenever they got kicked in the balls, or got an expensive car, many of them would be more than willing to get kicked in the balls a second time.

[truthbeknown]

@mistixs Not this guy!

[AleDeEurope]

Childbirth. But I'd say with the epidural it hurts less.
I know my mom always facepalmed when she saw a woman giving birth on TV, because she said childbirth isn't that painful. Also my aunt who is a doctor and helped deliver thousands of babies, says women don't feel that much pain if there's no complications.

But still, if childbirth was done 100% natural, with no epidural and all that, then it is more painful.

[Carley99]

Some women feel more pain than some depending on their hormones

[AleDeEurope]

@Carley99 True, the pain varies, but it's very rare that a woman suffers like in the movies if she has the epidural.

[oboeyoudidnt]

Epidurals are also a last resort option in most cases. It can interfere with a woman's ability to push so many doctors don't like women to have it unless absolutely necessary.

& maybe for your mom, childbirth wasn't as bad as expected, but for most women, it's worse.

"The studies included largely show that women underestimate the intensity of the pain they will experience…
In most studies [31, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38] women found the pain worse than anticipated; in only one study

[mistixs]

did women report the pain to be better than expected…

[dolemite68]

childburth just cuz the labor lasts longer, if that initial horrific pain of getting kicked in the balls lasted for hours i would need morphine to get through that. i knew a lady that had kidney stones and had kids before and she said she would way rather have a baby over passing a stone. and passing stones is supposed to be more painful for men cuz it has a longer distance to travel through our urethra

[Aizou]

Childbirth easily, but giving birth has purpose, nut shots doesn't.

[madhatters4]

never birthed a child but i can't imagine getting hit in the balls hurts as much

[Carley99]

How can you compare two when one person can't experience both pain.

[SinghSong]

Well, the female equivalent to being kicked in the balls would be being kicked in the ovaries. If the ovaries were externalized, as opposed to being buried deep behind a a couple of inches' padding in the abdominal cavity.

[Anonymous]

Child birth is the number 1 painfulness thing in the world, wisdom teeth comes 2nd.

[JuliaHarris]

I agree with childbirth being number 1, but I would put balls at number 2.

[Anonymous]

Childbirth I would guess. Balls would hurt for a few seconds, then be sore for a few mins. Assuming just a normal hit.

[Maxemeister]

Childbirth lasts way longer. As for level of pain, neither of us has ever experienced that other pain

[Anonymous]

You can't compare something that the opposite sex could never experience.

Childbirth probably as it lasts longer and all the processes.

[Jrossetti]

A child can bring some joy and meaning into your life, a kick to the balls can't

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Kicked i the balls, I don't know why women are so self righteous about this.

Does the worst of the pain of getting hit in the balls last 16+ hours?
Does being hit in the balls cause 90% of men’s genitals to tear open?[1]
Does being hit in the balls leave men sore, cramping, & bleeding from their genitals for weeks afterward?
Does being hit in the balls leave 77% of men with persistent back pain, & half of men with urinary incontinence, ONE YEAR after the incident?[2]
Does being hit in the balls affect men's genitals to the point that they are unable to have sex for 6 weeks after, & leave 24% of men with painful sex SIXTEEN MONTHS after the incident?[3]

[OrdinaryGentleman]

@mistixs Lol maybe women are just weak and feel more pain then men?
When women give birth they can almost understand what a guy with a cold feels.

[Farts12345]

Childbirth and I would prefer to get kicked in the balls with high heels

[writing_essays]

Are you a real woman? I don't think you are. A real woman would never ask this question.

[Asker]

I am🙄 I'm not asking bc I don't know the answer, I'm asking because I want to know what other people think

[dogfish]

getting kicked in the balls. childbirth is painless cause women get the most care

[underratedm]

"childbirth is painless" and you say that based on what? Your personal delivery experience?

[Nightinggale]

You aren't going to change my opinion so you should quit trying.

[mistixs]

why not?

[Nightinggale]

Because I believe what I stated and see no reason to believe otherwise.

[mistixs]

I literally gave scientific evidence otherwise.

[Nightinggale]

Okay. Just because something is labeled as science doesn't mean that the conducters of the experiments were unbiased. I rely on my internal reasoning not on supposed "evidence." Just because something is claimed to be a fact doesn't make it so.

[mistixs]

have you ever seen a childbirth happen?

[willwhitez]

Childbirth easy

[BeastRB]

Definitely getting kicked in the balls

the men who say this are morons.
