Giving birth, or getting kicked in the balls?

*poll coming*

In 100 years, science will have allowed a single person to go through both of them at once.

I'm a guy. Since I can't give birth (I don't think I can, anyway), I'll go with "getting kicked in the balls."

Voted for giving birth, the pain there can last for over a full day. The pain from a kick in the 'nads wears off after a minute or so.

Not after 10 successive times. I got ball-kicked twice in a minute. Pain stayed for quite some time.

a lifetime of blows to the testicles is natures way of balancing the sexes so I’d say 10 blows to the nads is allot less

Though I must say one thing unites all peoples around the world and that is a swift blow to the testicles will make any man yearn to crawl in a hole and die

The pain of being kicked in the balls 10 times will be there for ages , if it was a hard kick than maybe days and if it damaged them (i.e artterys , blood vessels, the testes) then it could hurt like hell for weeks maybe months without medical attention.

Not always, you sometimes get a horrible pain in your bladder that lasts for hours :p

Yeah right , a mintue , what evidence is there for that unless you get kicked really weakly the pain from a moderate kick will be there for atleast 5 - 10 minutes

yes and the blood could collect in your scrotum eventually crushing your testicles under the weight.....

Unfortunately(or fortunately), nobody has ever experienced both.

Personally, I lean toward giving birth. But when it comes to giving birth, it's not a surprise. You usually have considerable warning before the event. Typically, you have doctors and nurses on the scene as well as a trusted family member to help you get through it. Finally, after the birth is over, you have a wonderful prize for your efforts.

Getting struck in the groin however, is usually a sudden unexpected act. Typically, other guys laugh as you writhe in agony on the ground and it can happen again fairly soon or even frequently. So while giving birth is probably more painful, getting kicked in the groin is certainly more awful. *nod*

But why does it have to be so funny? :(

hmmm lets see...what can last for 4 days, rip you open from urethra to anus, then kill you?

case closed.

Being kicked in the nuts , normally you don't have doctors there to help you or family and friends to help get over the god-awful pain , and what prize does it have ? it can cause you to become infertile or impotent.

case closed.

How would you like it if two of your organs with nerves all over them were squeezed so hard it felt like they were about to burst. :p

you really think that compares?

ive read that the closest thing to the pain of childbirth that a man can experience is passing a kidney stone.

being forced to watch lifetime of holliday slides from your maiden great-aunt.

Case closed.

What about being kicked in the balls 10 times while passing a kidney stone?

That would suck.

you read wrongly then

I think getting kicked in the balls is more painful then passing a kidney stone, its just the pain of passing a kidney stone lasts for much longer.

what about passing a kidney stone threw the uretha after you just being kicked there 7 times and got punched heavily in the gut and to top it off you had a headache to begin with

have either of you ever passed a kidney stone?

imagining it is not the same as experiencing it eh?

as a woman, i have never been kicked in the balls nor squeezed a stone through my penis.

I have passed about 4 kidney stones, and also been in labor twice (although both times I had to go the emergency C-section route) I can tell you that labor hurt more than the pain from the kidney stones, and that passing the kidney stones hurt less than being examined during labor.........but I have no testicles so for the OP's question.......can't answer.

My husband says getting kicked in the balls hurts for about 10 minutes, while my labor lasted 64 hours with one kid and 19 with the other, so I think the length of pain is really an important factor also labor hurts all over where hubby tells me his pain is pretty localized when he has been kicked.

How would you like it if two of your organs with nerves all over them were squeezed so hard it felt like they were about to burst. :p

Like in birth? No, wait, that's more than two organs.

"The amnesic effect of endorphins enables women to forget the worst aspects of labour providing an incentive to reproduce again."

That alone makes me realize that giving birth is much more painful. I mean, your body actually makes you forget about the pain you had gone through. Yeah, getting kicked in the balls is painful but would you rather get kicked in the balls ten times or pass a tonka truck through your rectum?

Depends. Dump truck or backhoe?

I have experienced neither, but remembering my mom's stories and my half-sister's experience with my nephew, I'd say giving birth.

Anyways, childbirth can be found to be more painful than getting kicked in the balls, because it can be compared to things both females and males can experience. I can attest to the fact that an appendectomy hurts more than getting kicked in the nuts. I know people who can attest that an appendectomy hurts less than childbirth.

Depends. Dump truck or backhoe?

Backhoe, 9 times out of 10. You get a years supply of free pampers if it is a dump truck, though.

You can, if the fetus is implanted in you.

The lack of a uterus makes that a bit of a problem.

But where would it go? :confused:

It's not like guys have uteruses....

Like in birth? No, wait, that's more than two organs.

theres also the fact the penis is infront of the scrotum , testicles so thats 3 organs and then behind its the perinium (if thats spelt right) and the anus all of those gt affected from being kciked "there" and sometimes your bladder can hurt asweell

I've been kicked there. And it's hurt far less than other things I've experienced.

But in birth we're talking a watermelon going through a straw, a contracting uterus, and the cervix, not to mention everything on the outside stretching too. Yeah....

i don't know what's more painfull, but i think giving birth is a lot more rewarding

This is an interesting topic.
I have talked about this to my male friends...

But I have to say...
Giving Birth...

Are we talking natural birth or C-Section here?

Natural birth, I presume.

My mom can easily tell you which is more painful, since she's gone through it twice :eek:

I think the labor part of birth probably hurts far more than the actual passing of the kid.......but then I had two C-sections and a 8 inch scar across my stomach with 39 staples was pretty painful.

Getting hit by a perfectly spiraled football in the nads hurts like a... *recollects memories of 7th Grade*

Oh God...oh....ohhhhh.....nurse....

Though I am not a woman, I feel I must sympathise with them, and state that giving birth is far more painful than a kick to family jewels, because even ten kicks wears off quickly. Birth pain never ends.

An Iron Maiden concert? ;)

Giving birth probably hurts more. Though I imagine they're different kinds of pain. Giving birth, well you've got about 9 months of warning and medical professionals on hand to make sure it doesn't hurt as much as it could and to pump you full of pain killers if it does. Getting kicked in the balls, well few guys are stupid or insane enough not to get the hell out of dodge if they see a kick to the sac coming.

Wait...

Where's "Getting foot shoved up anus" in the poll. That must hurt a whole lot more than getting kicked in the sack.
