Testicles ..... the weak point of any man, no matter how physically strong they are. Touched, exposed, or maltreated in any way, and any giant man will fold into a fetal position and whimper like a little girl. Violently struck and man will gladly go unconscious or die rather than endure this pain.

Testicular torsion is no joke. If they get tangled even the manliest of men can be in for a very rough time.

Even the Guild of Calamitous Intent recognizes this.

Easily the worst pain I've ever experienced, with no close comparison. Broken bones, bicycle accidents, road rash, surgery, sprains, flu, covid, I don't care. Torsion felt like death

When I went to the hospital, I was acting normal, because yeah. Trying not to overreact and stay calm. They made me wait in the ER for a few hours until I finally told the nurse how bad my pain was. She didn't believe me, then took my blood pressure. Once she saw how high it was, she immediately audibly gasped, and immediately sent me to see a doctor, where I received immediate surgery to save my testicle.

No one believed how bad my pain was until I said to the nurse "I think I'm dying can you please do something" simply because I wasn't "exhibiting symptoms" badly enough. This shit is absolutely real.

you can actually build a tolerance to it to where you dont feel any pain

mark hoppus of blink-182 would hit himself in the nuts over and over on the tour bus so he can hit himself in the nuts without pain

Yeah, but......there's like a whole fetish out there where guys get kicked in the balls by women wearing steel plated boots. And they're like "yeeeeaaaahhhhh, that's the stuff!"
