What's worse: Giving birth, or getting kicked in the balls?

I've never Experienced giving birth but I've heard it is extremely painful. I have how ever experienced a kick in the pants. I'd say about 75% of a kick to the nuts is drama and an act to get attention. And usually the penis obsorbes most of the blow. So I would have to say giving birth is more painful.

Getting kicked in the balls, I'm sure. Childbirth is a beautiful thing with a prize in the end.
The pain is so intense you're in delerium but you have a job to do, pushing, and then it's over. Being pregnant doesn't hurt! It's exciting!

I think it would be amazing to give birth, I am jealous ladies!

Ah, mirza. Ever the deep philosopher. I've been kicked in the testes, once so hard it cracked my cup and still made them swell up twice their size. I have watched my wife give birth 3 times, twice with no anaesthetic. Child birth is far more painful, and lasts longer, imho. No contest. On the other hand, I have also passed a kidney stone, and while it didn't last as long, I think the level of pain might be equal. I also would love to experience childbirth, for about 5 minutes, and then I'd rather be kicked in the balls.

I have watched people give birth and I have been kicked. Hands down giving birth is worse. I mean when you get kicked your body does not have to release hormones to compensate for the pain.

As others have mentioned, giving birth is a far more lengthy process. And for some there are pains experienced during pregnancy. In my last trimester, my son must have enjoyed kicking my sciatic nerve because I frequently got these electrical jolts of pain shooting down my left leg.

Even if you've had a textbook pregnancy, labor and delivery are no walk in the park. The average duration of a woman's first labor is 24 hours! And evan after delivery, there is the cramping that occurs as the uterus returns to its normal size.

I would not trade having had the experience of childbirth for ANYTHING; but I would bet that it is overall more painful than a kick in the nuts. I know a woman who had 3 kids and also had kidney stones, and she said that passing the stones was a sharper pain.

I'd assume a human being tearing its way out of your body would hurt more than a shot to the nuts, unless you were kicked in the nuts by a flame thrower.

I am glad I had the opportunity to give birth, although it hurt a lot, than to be kicked in the balls anyday. The pain during childbirth is worse...I think...but pregnancy is so exciting and my prize...my daughter....made EVERY PAIN worthwhile!

Well I don't know of any person who can answer this question, having experienced both.

I'd assume birth is more painful.

I suppose it is part of God's design, that no one ever has to experience both. Evidently, he is merciful.

Oops, before I get flamed, I meant He.

My daughter called me on her birthday yesterday leaving this message, "If you could manage pushing me out of your body, 23 years ago, why can't you pick up the phone?" She is hilarious. I'll take childbirth over the nut kick anyday!

Having experienced neither (I got my kids the easy way, by pirating them from missing-in-action other mothers) I'd say God had given me a good deal, and I thank Her
for it.

since the question is “what’s worse” and not “what hurts more”, the answer is definitely kicked in the balls. after you get kicked in the balls, all you have is pain. but after childbirth, you have a baby! plus, the number of childbirths where the mother is in favor of the event occurring far outweighs the number of times someone is kicked in the balls according to their own wishes.

And thus, we arrive at the great universal question: If men could give birth by having big bellies (or bigger than we already have) and urinating frequently for 9 months, followed by 10 hours or so of being repeatedly kicked in the cojones, would it result in any children? I’m thinking not.

you know definitley its getting kicked in the balls.I mean come on. Getting kicked hurts much much worse. ladies you have no idea

I think the only way to get a correct answer to this question is to ask a hermaphrodite!

Average duration of first-birth labor: 24 hours. If you could get kicked in the balls once a minute for 24 hours, it might be equivalent. But a one-time kick versus 24 hours of labor? I’d take a kick in the balls anyday.

(And for women who get a cesarean, they experience less pain at the time but it takes about a month to fully recover. I don’t personally know any men who need a whole month to recover from getting kicked in the balls)

definitely not. worst ever for me was about an hour. maybe two hours.

Okay…at this point I’m glad I don’t have balls. I would take child birth any day!

To all the other mothers out there, I apologize in advance for sharing my unfair experiences with labor. My first was 4 hours, second was 3.5. I know, I know…it must be the child-bearing hips or something. It’s just not right! And did I mention…there’s never been an episiotomy involved? No sits-baths…ever. :) Amazingly, after my last child, I was on my knees in front of the tub washing my daughter’s hair the same night I got home. I just find the human body SO amazing…and especially mine when it comes to giving birth. Of course, I’m not thrilled about the extra 25lbs…but what can I say? I guess it’s a fair trade, weight can be lost.

@all the men…this comment was not intended to serve as your free ticket to Wow, We Have It Way Worse Land. :)

And so the controversey continues: “which is worse – getting lowblowed, or giving birth?” Well anyone with common sense knows that giving birth is NATURAL. Having your private area injured (kicked, kneed, punched, grabbed, etc) is an injury (not natural). Women cannot sense what a man feels when his groin is injured, since women do not have testicles. Also having injured testes can result into extreme aggonizing pain (obviously), teh inability to impreagnate a female, and TESTICULAR CANCER! I don’t recall the same side effects in regard to giving birth.

Before my conclusion, I will explain to you the functions of muscles. The first is to promote force to move joints (obvious), 2nd to maintain the body’s temp (98.6), and the final obligation of muscles are to PROTECT ORAGANS. Besidses the skin (the largest organ of the body), only the eyes and testicles (for males) are not protected. Just imagine when someone hits you in the kidney area. Can you imagine the pain you’d endure if they weren’t being protected?! So it is with the testicles (unprotected).

So it should be understood that giving birth is natural and a lowblow isn’t. I’ve never had my groin injured (the advantages of being a gentleman. It just doesn’t happen), so I couldn’t tell you. I’m obviously not a female who’s given birth, so I definately can’t tell you about that. BUT, My only suggestion for telling a female who’s curious of what it’s like to get kicked in the balls… Is to tell them “THAT WOULD BE LIKE YOU GETTING KICKED IN THE OVARIES!!!” After telling them that (check out the expression on her face. I’m sure it would be priceless), ask them which is worse, giving birth, or having your ovaries brutally kicked?!!!

Almost forgot; childbirth wouldn’t be as painfull – as it is now – if adam and eve didn’t eat the forbidden fruit. You can thank eve for that one.

@namtih…lol, last time I checked, the following were also “natural”:
aneurism, stroke, heart-attack, kidney stones, torn Achilles/ACL/etc., hernia, etc.

Thank goodness none of those hurt as much as a blow to the Go-Nads. :)

Giving birth was no problem for me personally and I’d choose a lowblow any day of the week. But I’d also probably rather get a kick in the groin 20 years from now when it’s time for a mammogram. Getting your boobs squashed isn’t exactly natural either. I’m having a little bit of trouble with your reasoning on this one…

@occ: There are far more nerve endings exposed in the testes, not to mention that the birth canal is to some extent designed to allow a baby to pass through (not advocating intelligent design). Balls aren’t supposed to be kicked.

The balls is worse because a. There is no positive outcome (unless you are going to get a vasectomy) and b. You can’t be prepared for it, childbirth can be planned and they can do something for the pain.

Ok. I understand this is an old question but I can’t believe no body mentioned this. Childbirth is supposed to be like a man passing an Orange out of his penis. Try that on for size boys.

Bluemukaki- people have the misconception that the pain of childbirth is from squeezing an 8-pound baby through the vagina, or birth canal. Stretching the vagina is, I’m sure, quite painful – but the real pain of childbirth is from the dilation of the cervix, which separates the uterus from the vagina. The cervix is a tiny hole at the back of the vagina – smaller than the nostril on your nose – similar to the size of the male urethra on the penis. this teeny tiny hole has to go through contractions that stretch it out until it is larger than a babies’ head. AAAAHH! Seriously, seriously painful. And in terms of doing something for the pain – you’re right, if you have an epidural you barely feel anything. But I have a feeling whoever asked this meant the pain of natural childbirth versus the pain of getting kicked in the balls.

samkusnetz said: “since the question is “what’s worse” and not “what hurts more”, the answer is definitely kicked in the balls. after you get kicked in the balls, all you have is pain. but after childbirth, you have a baby!”

haha! That’s EXACTLY why I say childbirth is worse.

Ask a shemale!

I’m with Perchik and Scamp; afraid we’ll never have a common frame of reference. I’ve experienced one, never want to again. It hurt.

Well I think Kick in the balls is worse because if youv had a baby before youd may go “lets have another baby” But no1 on earth would go ” I think i`ll have another kick in the balls”

Just because there’s a payoff, doesn’t mean the pain is less.
I wouldn’t ask for another splinter either, but the two just can’t compare.
Haha…I just called a baby a payoff.

yes but the question is what is worse.

Worse in pointlessness?
Or worse in general pain?

Worse as in being that is being kicked in the balls is an unique pain like nothing else wheras childbirth is more like a tear or strain on the muscle also childbirth would apear worse as it lasts longer but getting kicked in the balls is more intense but doesnt last as long if it was to last as long as childbirth it would far surpass the pain of childbirth.

I’d say that childbirth is a unique pain.
I wouldn’t write it off as just a tear or strain.
It’s a human being coming out of your body, for Christ’s sake.

As for one singular moment of intense pain,
my vote would probably be for passing a large kidney stone.

good point on the kidney stones
but a man that has experienced kidney stones could then give an opinion on what is more painful (child birth or a kick in the balls) as i’m sure childbirth pretty similar (larger exit larger object smaller exit smaller object so close to the same ratio) so that would be closest way to get a good answer

I’m pretty sure any guy that has passed a large kidney stone
would happily vote for another swift kick to the nuts.

well i disagree

You’ve passed a large kidney stone?

hell yeh

namith: have you ever heard of vaginal tearing? These may require more than one surgery to fix as a result of childbirth. Can a kick in the nuts result in your death? Frankly, it may be more rare today, but it could still occur as a result to childbirth. So you catch a kick in downtown and one of your little guys twists up and dies off. At least you still have your life. Sometimes, women have to fight for their own lives as well as their child’s lives during Pregnancy, let alone some childbirth cases.

To others: They can do something for the pain….HAHAHAHA. Yea, they can do so much there. It really takes the edge off…There’s a pretty good argument that childbirth is more painful right there. If they offer you some pretty hefty drugs for it. Men, do you go to a doctor when you get kicked in the nuts and ask them to insert a foot long needle into your spine? I didn’t think so. And if your recovery is two hours, consider yourself lucky. And at least after that you can sit comfortably. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life and if my S.O. can safely say that he thinks childbirth would be a far worse experience bodily, I think you other guys could possibly see the light as well.

I can’t even handle how crazy this is. It’s safe to say I won’t be checking back here again.

P.S. Hermaphrodites are actually sterile, and are usually not 100% formed either way, so there would be no way for them to experience childbirth. Some of them aren’t even able to experience intercourse.

well all above anwsers are unlogical, you guys need to research this on a Medical website. In terms of worse over pain, it would be, being kicked in the Groin. As for Medical Results show which is worse.

Also, Its been said in some Medical notes that most guys can die if testicles are squeezed hard enouph for about 30 or more seconds. caueses can range from brain not being able to process the pain, can cause musles to lock up. explanation would be seeing a guy after being kicked in the sack, falling into a fetus position becuase of natural body defenses, thats what causes your body to lock up and not move. Body does so, so it can protect your groin from any more possible damage.

Besides your musles locking up to prevent movement, heart rate and breathing decreases, risking heart to stop, resulting in death.

The Male groin has Major Arteries, and many nerve endings. Reason why there are Major Arteries is because when a Male is excited Sexually, his Penus becomes filled with blood that causes it to rise and expand.

cannot start a debate intill you have real medical proof and causes on your finds.

Otherwis there Opinions and therefore based on no real truth. evey human’s pain Receptors are not 100% the same and therefore Varying from person to person on what will hurt the most.

I can’t believe how silly this is of course child birth i far more painful.
In some parts of the world 1 in 5 woman die during child birth.
It shows how ungrateful some men are, they think all the pain their mothers have endured to give birth to them isn’t as bad as getting kicked in the balls. Men get kicked in the balls all the time and it’s just selfish to think that that is more painful than giving birth. Women are built with vagina’s that are able to give birth and protect against death whilst giving birth. If being kicked in the balls hurt that much men would have evolved with padded balls to protect against damage and they haven’t so it makes sense that it is less painful than giving birth

WOW! I realize you men hurt for a little while when being hit in the testes. My guy said it feels like cramping in your back and stomache. Sure you have intense pain for a little while and I can say that their is no way to tell what “pain” is worse BUT I was in labor for 30 hours and pushing for 2 without drugs, I would never trade my experince for a fast kick in the testes but if I had to choose I would pick a kick in the testes because it is a shorter duration and almost ALL of the time men recover. Sure their is a risk but their ARE risks in everything we do. Most men have a lower tolerance for pain anyway. LOOK IT UP! and the reason most women want more children is because are bodies forget how bad it truely hurt, ask any women! sure we can say it hurt or it didnt but we can never explain it to you. Its are bodies way of reproducing. If a women could explain like a man can explain how a kick in the testes feel then we would not want to have more children!!!! IS ANYONE EDUCATED IN PSYCHOLOGY!!! CHRIST!!!!
