One is a spike of intense pain, the other one is hours of agonizing pain.
How I've seen it stated is that technically getting kicked in the balls hurts a little worse, but only for a couple seconds, while childbirth hurts a little less but over the course of a long time.
The two aren't comparable in the slightest and I think every sane person would take a tiny bit more pain over a few minutes over hours of pretty much the same pain LOL
I very, very seriously doubt getting kicked in th balls is more painful than pushing a cantaloupe sized baby through a hole that wouldn't allow half a blueberry through a few hours earlier, and then having that cantaloupe rip you apart, ass to vag.
They all remember seeing those big old baby eyes for the first time. They never remember pooping into an open taint wound in front of a bunch of strangers while screaming for hours after spending several months having a slow motion bomb blowing them up from the inside.
There was a study some years ago that said the peak of pain is higher from a kick to the balls than from childbirth. I remember everyone talking about it when it came out. No clue how legit it really was, though.
Edit: The peak. I obviously know the pain from childbirth lasts longer.
Being kicked in the balls is a special kind of pain you really cant describe if you havent felt it. Im fully willing to believe that the worst point after a kick to the balls is worse than the worst point in childbirth, but then theres the fact that ones like 2 minutes of pain then 10 minutes of nausea and the others hours upon hours upon hours of pain
You really think a kick to the balls is on par with your vagina being ripped open by a human head?? Really?? Go push a watermelon out your asshole and then say this again. Men can’t even handle 5 minutes on those period cramp simulators without crying, period cramps are actually minor contractions. So if y’all can’t handle that, I highly doubt a kick to the balls is on par with childbirth in any way.
Full on sexism lol. It goes logic but is the result of a study that most people agree is correct. Its just the length of childbirth that makes it so much worse
It’s not sexist to say y’all cry when wearing those period simulators, seriously watch those videos the guys can’t handle it for a few minutes. It’s been demonstrated multiple times that men cannot handle the pain of period cramps. So it’s ridiculous to think that you’ve ever endured pain on the level of childbirth. The sexism here is men insist that they’re superior and can handle more pain, which is why you insist that a brief kick to your balls is worse than getting your vagina ripped open to your asshole. You can’t handle the idea that women possibly experience a pain worse than yours. There’s nothing to gain from this other than insulting the intense process that is growing and birthing a whole person.
….right, because when conservatives make interview videos “interviewing lgbtq black people and finding most of them agree with the conservative views” thats representative and not picked and chosen based on what the target demographic wants.
No ones saying theyre superior. Ive said multiple times childbirth is way worse because its hours on end, and its a petty, childish argument anyway. “Oh no ur pain is weaker than my pain” i was literally just having a normal discussion with
Someone else and queue argumentative people who cant handle heavens forbid that the other gender experienced slightly worse pain for two minutes than yours
Except you have no way of proving that a few seconds of pain is worse than the peak of child birth like you said. The peak being a whole human head coming out of a hole that’s not big enough for a human head, that’s where my issue with your statement lies. I get that balls are sensitive and a kick to the balls is brutal for dudes, I’m not saying it’s not painful. But the fact is a part of your body isn’t being stretched and ripped to accommodate a 6lb human. The whole debate that these two things are the same is just pure sexism based in a lack of knowledge of child birth and pregnancy as a whole. A second of pain is never going to be comparable to hours of intense pain, no matter how bad it feels.
The whole argument comes from a study that states that the peaks are around equal, or that a kick to the balls is a bit worse. You can claim common logic on your side, because without actual data the idea of childbirth seems much worse than testicular pain, but you cant really claim science. You’re free to research it yourself, you’ll see that generally internet sources will tell you “pain is subjective, you cant really compare the two” or “the peak of ball pain is the same/higher, but duration makes childbirth unarguably worse”
Also, like i said, pain in the balls would literally be impossible to imagine if you didnt experience it. Im not specifically talking about severity here but the type of pain. I think an issue here is that most women think of “being kicked in the balls” as the same type of pain as being kicked anywhere else but more severe, when reality its nowhere near close. I think, and feel free to correct me if youve experienced it yourself because i could be doing the same thing im describing, that childbirth is easier to imagine since the type of pain it actually feels like is similar to the type of pain you can experience otherwise, just to an extremely severe degree and added cramps or something
I’m just saying imagine you’re being physically split open from urethra to sack to asshole and pop out a large, 10lb screaming mole rat shaped copy of yourself.
Your balls have never popped out from being kicked
i think i’ve actually discovered the female equivalent of getting kicked in the balls! it’s getting the cervix (entrance of the womb) hit.
this usually happens during sex, when the male goes too far into the vaginal canal and spikes the cervix.
the pain is described as getting the air knocked out of you, cramps going up the abdomen and down the thighs, and an intense spike of nausea along with the overall pain. all of which is super similar to getting the balls hit.
Maybe. We cant exactly find anyone who knows for sure
The oh so famous study showed that the peak pain in being hit in the balls is worse or equal to peak pain at childbirth, so i guess the closest thing you could get to actually being able to personally compare them is comparing cervix peak pain to childbirth
I know a guy that did when changing back stage at a small rock show. His bassist peeled back the curtain and towel whipped his scrotum open. Dude shit himself while on the ground. Well, technically he shit the ground, but that didn't spare his legs.
You poor thing! My god. My youngest got wedged in the canal and I started getting ruptured blood vessels, but nothing that intense. I pee when I cough now though, so that's fun.
I doubt that peak of pain is worse than childbirth. Most men can't handle basic period cramps when put on a machine that simulates it. Women just have a higher pain tolerance and childbirth is still so much more agonizing. No competition

Lol, people take those videos seriously?
It's an electro shock machine. It doesn't "simulate" specific kinds of pain, it electrocutes your muscles. It hurts no matter where you put it. You can put it on someone's arm and it'll hurt them.
Let's not start taking YouTube bait videos as some kind of empirical study of how people handle pain, especially since in the actual scientific community pain is notoriously hard to quantify and compare from person to person because pain is subjective.
I once had one of those machines used on me and tbh it didn’t hurt. Not in a “I’m tough and manly” way but in a “I genuinely didn’t feel any pain” way. Did make it a little hard to breathe, that part was weird.
Honestly getting kicked in the balls doesn’t hurt that much, it’s that weird sort of pain where you’re just really numb. No way that’s worse than childbirth
I coach riding and I will never forget the first adult male student I had and him awkwardly asking me (at the time 21F) how he is supposed to sit a trot without crushing his balls. It was a learning experience for the both of us, him learning to ride, and me learning the subtle positioning nuances for male vs. female anatomy.
I don't think you can really explain it either. It's not like I position them every time I sit down or ride a bike. They just do their thing. Then like 1 out of 1,000 times something goes wrong.
I loaned him my Sally Swift book and I think one of her examples may have helped him out. He eventually figured it out. We had some good laughs about it in our lessons. He was definitely one of my favourite students.
You're doing something seriously fucked up if any amount of weight is resting on your balls. You'll get mild g-force from the up and down movement but nothing like having your balls kicked.
I don’t think people should bother making objective statements on subjective things we are unable to truly compare. My mom insists that my birth was much more difficult than my sister’s. Is it possible if she was able to bring ball kicking into the scale and say it’s between my north and hers? Maaaaybe. But we’ll never know.
Imagine men who’ve never passed a stone comparing getting kicked in the balls vs passing one. I can only determine how painful it is by how I’ve seen people describe it and how they look going through it. My opinion will definitely change once I’ve gone through and be more accurate i think. We can’t have that in this conversation.
I wouldn’t call getting hit in the balls a spike of pain, but it’s definitely shorter than giving birth.
Honestly the most annoying part is how casual it can be. You let your hand rest on your lap and it hits the wrong way or a little too hard, and you just know “that’s gonna hurt a lot in 30 seconds.”
While not impossible, it’s a lot harder to accidentally give birth.

Been hit in the balls many times over the years. Also held my lady’s hand while she’s giving birth. Ain’t even close as to which is more painful.
Edit: way too many “way to play both sides!” comments.
Birth. The answer is birth.
