The actual initial kick doesn't even hurt too bad. The real pain doesn't hit till 15-30 seconds later.

Trust me my ex gf hit me in the nads with a hammer.

In the end doesn't the argument always turn to its worse for men because women (tend to) want to have children, while men don't want to be hit in the balls?

I suppose we could just stop having children. We are already dooming the planet (and ourselves). Or be able to make fully test tube babies quickly.

I can't afford a doctor to follow me around and put penicillin in my dick all day, I don't get why woman complain about child birth when they can choose not to feel the pain.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pain meds don't stop all of the pain, and labour without the pain meds still lasts hours. Many woman can't choose to not have children either.

I'll correct you by saying that doctors can induce comas to alleviate woman who have trouble dealing with pain, as did my mother.
And a womans prime responsibility is to decide when they have children.
Also, a man cannot always choose when someone decides to hit them in the groin.

Ack, who keeps thumbing me down?
This is a reasonable debate, I'd never try and "rate" someones opinions

So then its what I posted over 30 mins ago to Maiden, that the argument always goes back to women seem to want kids and accept the pain, while men just don't want to be kicked in the balls. I'm sure women who are raped/sexually assaulted, and women who cannot have abortions, or women who are refused medicine for whatever reason, would disagree >.>

Though this attitude of people hitting men in the nuts because we know it hurts them and we laugh at their pain is uncool.

Getting kicked in the testicles can ruin a man forever.
But turning this into a pissing contest on which sex has it worse isn't the correct way to debate this.
Its like comparing cats to dogs, sure dogs are loyal and cats make great company but there are key differences that make them difficult to compare.

Giving birth can kill the woman and child. I wouldn't doubt someone kicking a guy in the nuts hard enough to leave permanent damage for the lulz though... I actually don't like arguing this because pain is relative and although sexism is wide-spread but more hidden, I don't understand why one sex has to have it better/worse than the other.

Agreed, I'd propose to make sweet love to you but I'm totally queer baby.

No problem, just got a new boyfriend myself xP

He's studying, that's why I'm online >.>

I just moved to another state so I lost all my buddies, still have my puppy.

*Women

Hello there, fellow Grammar Nazi.

yes, however, more than 50% of the women on the earth do not have access to this luxury. in some countries, doctors cut the cartilage between the anus and the vagina so birthing can be done quicker. women can and do bleed to death from this. this can also happen on its own when the birthing process is being done, epidural or not.

Haha, I watched a documentary in High school about that, very popular in places still thinking female circumcision is a good thing.
Sad for the women who don't have a choice but I'd like to remind you that almost NO man goes getting himself kicked in the nuts when NOTHING benefits from it.
Child birth = Child
Groin kick = Absolute pain.

i agree. that's why women give birth, to have child. that's why we are all here, because of our mothers. it's a beautiful thing, seeing something be born. and, on average, women do have a higher threshold than men, but, however, men are better at hiding their emotions, causing them to look stoic when they are in complete pain. women, while not being in much pain, still will cry as if they are. get what i'm saian?

Average threshold is impossible, all people have different emotions.
I for one have a moderate tolerance to pain but I have a younger brother who stupidly pulls stunts to get attention and I have a sister who will bottle up her emotions until something sends her over the edge and she explodes into crying in the middle of something with almost no cause, might be because shes bipolar but I'm not a psychiatrist.

i am also bipolar

They have fairly cheap medication that keeps you calm most of the time but my sister will refuse to take hers unless shes going somewhere important.

i take a medication that can cause seizures if i do not take them.. so i pretty much have to take them. i am also on a severe suicide watch, but i do not think i am suicidal. however, my psychiatrist thinks otherwise. i am quite miserable half of the time, but i don't think suicidal is how i would describe it.

I was forced by a school I went to in the sixth grade to take Concerta, which was an anti ADD and ADHD drug, or else I would be failed a grade because my teacher though I couldn't focus in his class.
I was just bored so I would read a lot instead of listening to him lecture on about things I had already learned two grades before, thing is I was already getting very good grades without the drug.
Even when I was on my chill pills I felt distracted now that everything was so clear, it was like everything was in focus, my peripheral vision was clear and I every detail stood out. Not what I expected, But the pills were to expensive for my dad to pay for each month so when I was out of his classes I had to stop taking them.
Tl;dr I'm a lot like you, *Hugs*

-hugs- ^^
even for a random e-hug, it made my evening

I think the average for first-time mothers is 16 hours of labor, and the epidurals, the pain meds that is, make it even longer lasting.

yes, on average, for a woman's first birth, contractions can last up to 20 hours. that is muscle spasms in your lower abdomen lasting up to 60 seconds, every 40 seconds. for twenty hours. then you have to push something the size of a football out something the size of a quarter. usually the cartilage between the vagina and the anus gets ripped, and has to be surgically corrected. yea, totally not as bad as being kicked in the balls.

OH WOW, SO SORRY I CAN'T OPT OUT THE PAIN WITH AN ANESTHETIC EVERY TIME I GET HIT IN THE BALLS.

I hate i'm just chilling in an MRI machine and someone kicks me in the balls. Ruins my day.

Or when I tunr into a girl and a child pops out of my vagina, but then an MRI???

I think that may be depended on the person, and their pain threshold.

eg. The brain may 'light up' (so to speak on an mri scan) more for someone who has a low pain threshold, who just stubbed their toe, than somebody with a higher threshold.


I may be wrong

That's probably another factor that has to be accounted for in doing the pain measurement.

Then again you have to figure out how pain tolerance works, whether it's the signals will still go through and be picked up in the MRI, and the sensory just doesn't react, or the sensory decides how the signals appear.

There is, but it is rarely used. OP spelled it wrong. It's a Dolor or Dol for short (latin for pain).
There are two scales I know of; The Schmidt Sting Pain Index and the Starr Sting Pain Scale.

there is.

After reading the comments, I've read people saying there is and people saying there isn't. I'm unsure which to believe, and I don't care enough to research it.

www.wikipedia.com

A measurement isn't even mentioned on wikipedia

yea. Cause wikipedia has all the answers. am I right?

I'm not the one who linked it

i assumed it would hhmmm i know there is one, but i dont think the one in the comic is the correct name
