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.
