Getting hit in the balls vs Giving birth

While true, I am willing to bet far more women have died in childbirth than men have died by getting their nuts whacked/smashed/thumped/etc.

Considering that it's pretty much impossible for one person to get kicked in the balls and give birth, this issue is pretty difficult to debate. It's also difficult to debate because of the constant instinct to bring your hands protectively to the crotch.

I can almost feel the pain

There was a thread a while back about a scientist whose balls got burned by a hot laptop. Can't remember it though...

What does it matter which one is more painful?
Either way, your sex life will be over.

Wonders if Skanky has a brother.

I think the women have us beat on this one.

From most of the men's comments, they have never truely been hit hard in the nuts if they think the pain passes quickly.

But women have labor even before the birth. My wife's lasted for about 8 hours before they decided to snip.
Even if they get an epidural during a c-section (my wife didn't feel anything during the actual delivery), the recovery is long and painful.

Exactly. Just thinking about that puck gets me numb.

Spec.

Spec: you say it took you 6 hours to recoer fully: my bet is that while still painful, the pain at 6 hours was nothign like the pain at H hour+1 minute. Labor, as it has bennpointed out, can take many hours: imagine 8 hours of the same level of pain (on average)...

No, I think giving birth wins..followed by Kidney stones..

And a Spinal fluid tap.

Getting hit in the balls doesn't come close. Yeah, it hurts and it aches, but the bulk of the pain is over very quickly. Labour can last for hours on end, all the stretching and tearing and exertion must be sheer agony, and it doesn't end after the first push - oh no...hours and hours...damn.

Actually, mother nature in all her benevolence has made labor a tad easier than it sounds. It still is tremendous pain, but the nerve ending in the vaginal area are not intended to transmit pain, and the nervous system on the whole tries to sooth that pain as much as possible.

The testicles region is the complete opposite. It is intended to transmit pain in rediculously exaggerated amounts, in order to create a very strong protection mechanism of that area(You can hardly argue with that, THAT WORKS). just try slapping yourselves on the wrist and then on the balls, if you are a fan of applied science.

All in all, I would also nominate dental surgery without anesthetics, or an advanced dental desease.

[Fitz]

Spectator, after that Hockey Puck comment I started sympathy pangs.

As to giving birth ... well there aren't many things that make me say this, but this is the one that makes me glad I'm a guy.

Not that I would otherwise prefer to be a woman.

Ok........no wait........ Ok.

May I ask on behalf of all women everywhere who have given birth, myself included with three children, may I ask just exactly how many watermelons you have tried to pass through one nostril in your life time? Because I can assure you that might begin to give you the tip of the iceberg for pain level. As well has having your vaginal area ripped if you don't get an epesiotmy in time. Not to mention as has been above the hours in labor.

Ahhhhh yes labor. My favorite thing to do on a Monday night. Your point about the vaginal area not having many nerves may be able to be proven scientifically but that isn't the problem. It doesn't get to the vaginal area until it has kicked your a$$ with searing pain in your back that makes you feel like you are going to split open for all the hours of labor. So now class do describe a labor pain..............take your bottom lip and pull it over the top of your head. That would be a labor pain. Me persoanlly I had two washclothes on my beside table that I ripped in half when a contraction hit. But NOOOOOOoooooOOOOOo there was no pain there because mother nature provided for it

If she did then I want a refund on my drugs from the hospital!! But wait......that would be the final point. You don't get them. No. It's a conspiracy. They tell you you will get them, your crawling on the table grabbing the nurse by the shirt screaming at her to get you drugs and they tell you there coming then......they hit you with. you can't have anything for the pain you're to far dialated. Yeah Good Times But there is no pain.........

And I'm not saying getting hit in the balls doesn't hurt and isn't horribly painful....but really. Equal? I think not.

Watermelons through your nostril? A baby's head is not that big, and the vaginal aread is not that small. Try to use something realistic next time.

Like Carol Brunett said, "Take your bottom lip, and pull it over your head."

Now that is realistic.

ACK!

I'm so sorry....do accept my apologies Let me put it for you in terms you may understand.

Disclaimer ~ Men if you love your penis and are faint at heart do not continue to read.

You take a cantalope and push that through the head of your penis... through the little teeny tiny hole at the top of your penis which is now expanding (hopefully so that they don't have to split it open with a scapel) and push that cantalope through that little teeny tiny hole.

There is that better? That should be closer to a baby's head. Can you understand and picture that
