There's a piece of age old wisdom shared amongst dudes that goes a little something like this: Getting kicked in the nuts ain't no joke. You might be thinking, "Amen Brother, it hurts like hell!" but we often don't realize just how sensitive and vulnerable the testicles are. Just twenty-two pounds of pressure applied with the intention of causing some damage and the testicles can play pop goes the weasel. The fists of many people, including angry ex-girlfriends, can easily apply that amount of pressure. Another disturbing fact to note is that it is entirely possible to die from getting kicked in the junk extremely hard.
