[Serious] Kind of a stupid question, but: which hurts worse, getting hit in the testicles or hit in the breast?
file:///C:/Users/jondo/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png
People have debated this question for ages. Anyone comfortable weighing in on this, your input is appreciated.
Also, sorry if I offend anyone by asking. If this post bothers you you can just ignore it, or even downvote I suppose, but I'm asking in good faith, ie not trying to be offensive.

Getting hit in the boobs feels like being hit in a bruise.
Getting hit in the balls robs you of all air, and curls you up involuntarily into a fetals position.
The balls hurt way more!

Agree. I can't wait until I can get rid of mine! (Balls)

Testicles 100%. The pain is entirely unique. It's almost like ghostly. I can't describe it but you basically want to die.

I've found something similar. If you push one of your fingers into your (closed) eye the pain is similar to getting hit in the balls. Although you'd have to multiply it by a large number to get to the same intensity.

Holy shit at first I was convinced you were trolling me lol. But you're right that's pretty damn close minus the excruciating part.

You tried it to confirm? O.o So not trying this. Balls hurts enough. I don't need that pain on my face too. Lol

I pushed lightly, it's the same kind of sensation I described without the pain. Prob because they're both squishy and the eyeball is pressurized.

Yeah, I spent a long time trying to figure out some way to demonstrate how being hit in the balls feels to people who don't have them :P

My boobs are still growing and are super sensitive, but getting hit in my bits still hurts worse.
Touching down there can feel fine though, while touching my chest at all is painful :P

Balls by a lot in my experience.

I say breasts. The first time I slammed the boob into an edge of a door, I verbally cried out in pain and teared up.
Being kicked in the Jenny's usually just had me feel sick for a few minutes.

When I was about 12 and couldn't figure out what was going on with me just that I wasn't happy about down there, I slammed that thing in the door a few times. Hurt like hell, but there was something satisfying about hurting it.

Balls, definitely. It's the lasting ache from getting hit down there that's the worst. The initial hit to a boob might be more painful, but the pain subsides quickly.

They both hurt on impact, but the balls do that thing where they make your stomach/gut hurt too which takes a while to go away. Thats the worst of the two.

testicles.
"And the pain doesn’t just stay down there in the scrotum. It insists on radiating throughout the groin and up into the abdomen (and, psychically, out to every other dude standing within a few feet), leading to a weird stomach ache. This is the work of a phenomenon known as referred pain, which is when a sensation originating at one spot travels along a nerve root to other parts of the body and is perceived as happening there, too. It’s the same thing that’s going when you get an ice cream headache. In this case, the pain starts in your balls and travels up the perineal and pudendal nerves and the spermatic plexus, which cover real estate in the groin and abdomen, around the spine and even a little ways down into the anus, to make it feel like death has come for most of your lower body."

Balls. Getting smacked in the hooters child's play in comparison.

I had a friend who was shot in the balls at close range with a paintball gun and that was one of the most pain I've ever see someone be in. Guy was a firefighter and a karate black belt, he knew about pain, but this had him physically sick, stunned and barely cognisant for hours.

Testicles in my experience. Although I was surprised at how much the boobs came close when they were growing, but after all the fat works it's way on there they get a lot less sensitive.

I'm going with breasts. Running into things hurts like hell. My balls were never very sensitive and could take a hit without much pain.

Balls... But it's more complicated. My boobs are sore from slight impacts (my kids seem to constantly bang their heads into them when reading stories to them... ugh).
Much harder to get hit in the balls cos they're a smaller target and more tucked away, and a light blow isn't that painful. But a big hit in the balls definitely hurts more than any hit in the boobs.

My boobs are super sensitive, so it hurts worse to get hit there, but getting hit in the testes hurts for longer.

Thank you all for the answers. More answers are still appreciated.
My takeaway so far is, it varies from person to person how much an impact would hurt. Many in this thread are saying that the balls hurt worse. A significant, smaller group disagrees based on personal experiences. It really does vary, I gather.
Particularly boobs seem to be more or less painful and sensitive from person to person.
So "It depends, but mostly getting hit in the testicle(s) would hurt worse than getting hit in the breast(s), with some exceptions."
(Not that this is a scientific study or anything. I hope some science ethicists can design an experiment for this that would be alright, and we could get some actual data on this obviously very [not] important matter. Looking forward to that Ig Nobel Prize.)

Got hit in the balls by a softballtaking a bad bounce. That hurt for more than 24 hours. Hits in the breasts hurts on impsct however the pain is usually gone in a hour. Nevertheless. I would not want to be hit in the chest with baseball or softball.

I have only one ball but it hurt a lot. Also boobs hurt too. Guys would sneak up behind me at school and reach around to squeeze my tits then run away laughing. Such fun!

So the logical follow in question... How does getting kicked in the vajay compare? Obviously ours (post surgery) is a little different from cis models. But still a heckuva lot of nerve endings there.
