I know that when guys are hit between the legs, it hurts a lot more than getting hit in any other part of the body. But when a girl gets hit in between the legs, does it hurt significantly more than getting hit on another part of the body? I mean, obviously getting hit anywhere on the body hurts, but does it hurt more when getting hit in between the legs for girls too?

I have accidentally hit my girlfriend between her legs and she just about cried. It wasn't even very hard, just an accidental knee to the crouch. She doesn't let me forget it either. I asked her afterwards if she felt like throwing up (like most guys tell me they feel like afterwards) and she said "yes, but only for a quick second".

I've checked several times and she doesn't have a secret penis.

I hear that a good punch to the boob hurts quite a bit.

I seriously doubt it hurts as much as a guy getting hit, but it does hurt a lot. A lot of is has to do with the flesh being up against bone, not like getting hit in the stomach where there's just those unimportant organs.

Sensitive flesh up against bone... yup, definite potential for pain.

ETA: Yeah, a punch to the boob will hurt. A nice firm finger-stab to the boob will hurt a lot too.

Obviously I seem quite biased, but I doubt there is any equivalent pain on a woman to a man getting nut-kicked. Sure a good poke to the boob is quite painful according to my wife, but it takes an very small amount of pressure to a testicle to cause discomfort. Anything beyond very slight pressure is gut wrenching and being kicked there will incapacitate you for an extended period of time as the pain reaches up through your stomach almost pulling at your lungs.

There's simply nothing else like it. I'm sure there's a solid evolutionary reason for this considering from the evolutionary perspective nothing is more important than passing on those genes.

I'm pretty sure the evolutionary reason is that our dangly bits are on the outside so we need incentive to not mash them with a rock. :D

A friend of mine whipped a tennis ball at me from a few feet away once and hit me square in the nads. I couldn't even get up for the first five-ten minutes, and I couldn't even walk without excrutiating pain for about an hour.

I have to agree, I don't think there's anything comparable on a woman's body. I know there are some sensitive parts like the breasts (among others), but I've never seen a woman completely incapacitated because someone elbowed her in the boob.

Um, yes, I do know that. My nephew tries to punch me in the testicles because he knows that works well on his brothers. It does not work well on me because I do not have testicles. He does not understand that girls do not have testicles. That is why he tries to hit me in them.

Alternatively, no, I do not know that. Your queer UK slang is foreign to me. Nads means gonads means genitalia. Bollocks might be some sort of cattle. idk

Male testes dropped to be kept at room temperature, because better insulated, internal reproductive organs would be at 98.6. I'm not entirely sure about precisely why that's beneficial, but I am pretty sure that's the main reason it happened.

Too hot = sterility, apparently. I think that's why chicken pox are dangerous for an adult man to catch; the fever it brings is severe and lasts for a while, which can result in inflammation and sterility. Or so I've read!

Because to make proper, viable non-deformed sperm, your testes have to be at the right temperature. Slight change either way will make them turn out deformed. If I recall correctly, nearly half of male sperm are deformed, however it serves a reproductive utility. The deformed sperm acts like a buffer in the acidic environment of the vagina, thus protecting the viable sperm from being destroyed, giving it more of a chance to successfully create a zygote.

Raistlin
02-24-2010, 07:57 PM
Well duh, our system requires room temperature; I just said that. :p What I meant was that reproductive organs used to be entirely internal, so there is likely some beneficial reason for sperm to have evolved that way, to require room temperature, to begin with. Which is what I don't know.

EDIT: Actually, TSoL, that might be the answer: this evolution would allow for having a system which produces both viable sperm and the deformed "buffer" sperm, which would (presumably) increase the likelihood of fertilization.

I Get You now Alie!

bollocks is an old word for them, older than testicles.

The word has a long and distinguished history, with the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) giving examples of its usage dating back to the 13th century. One of the early references is John Wycliffe's Bible (1382), Leviticus xxii, 24: "Al beeste, that ... kitt and taken a wey the ballokes is, ye shulen not offre to the Lord..." (any beast that is cut and taken away the bollocks, you shall not offer to the Lord, i.e. castrated animals are not suitable as religious sacrifices).

The OED states (with abbreviations expanded): "Probably a derivative of Teutonic ball-, of which the Old English representative would be inferred as beall-u, -a, or -e".

The Teutonic ball- in turn probably derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *bhel-, to inflate or swell. This base also forms the root of many other words, including "phallus".

From the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, bollocks or ballocks was allegedly used as a slang term for a clergyman, although this meaning is not mentioned by the OED's 1989 edition. For example, in 1864, the Commanding Officer of the Straits Fleet regularly referred to his chaplain as "Ballocks". It has been suggested that bollocks came to have its modern meaning of "nonsense" because clergymen were notorious for talking nonsense during their sermons.

In 1977, Professor James Kingsley, a famous linguistics professor at the University of Nottingham, had accredited the word to be used in the early eighteenth century with the Roman Catholic Church priests. His studies show that the actual word "bollocks" means either a 'priest', or 'rubbish spoken by the priest'. Often, there were priests in the early eighteenth century who generally spoke rubbish, which is how the term "bollocks" became associated with verbal diarrhoea. The conviction came from the fact that Professor James Kingsley himself was a reverend and had been doing linguistic history research all his life

I wonder if it has to do with mammals being warm blooded. Reptiles use internal fertilization but have a much lower body temperature. It doesn't explain about birds, unless it's an evolutionary divergance.

I would imagine a knee to the groin would be painful to either sex, considering how many nerve endings are there. The diagram on the right details the proportion of brain tissue that processes sensory information from each body part. This also explains why a paper cut is so painful, since you damage a lot of nerve endings that are close together.

Yeah gonads start out as the same mass of undifferentiated tissue and then depending on hormone levels they become testes or ovaries. Testes start out in the same general position as ovaries then descend into the scrotum later.

I'd also go with this, though not because of the pain. I think being smacked in the goolies is worse by far, but I have an absolutely deathly fear of getting my skull cracked. Something about the concept of that injury scares the absolute bejeezus out of me.

I don't presume to speak for any women here but from what little I've witnessed, a solid knee in the vajayjay is going to incapacitate a woman about as well as it will a guy, but she'll recover a good deal faster. We, on the other hand, will probably feel breathless, nauseous, and have a hell of a lot of kidney pain to go along with it. Boobie punches seem to hurt a hell of a lot lot as well but they don't seem to have that incapacitating power that gynies do. Again, just speaking anecdotally from my limited data pool.
