on his side but she moved his hands with one of her hands and punched him a few

Was in a heated discussion with a woman who was in a very bad mood who I was
trying to calm down and who misinterpreted my intentions. After saying some
indescreet things I was surprised when  she kneed me twice--  the first which
missed but the second which hit me squarely in my groin.  I was in agony,
moaning and in extreme pain for what seemed to be five or ten minutes???.  She
has since apologized but I hope this kind of thing never happens again. If you
need more feedback you can contact me.

One day some of us were hanging around when she was walking home from her
gymnastics practice. She was wearing her leotard and a pair of sweatpants. She
looked really great.  I called out to her and she came over. Well, I grabed her
from behind. She tucked her hip into me and flipped me over her. Then she kicked
me right in the crotch. I stayed on ground for a few minutes. She helped me back
up, told me to never do that again, blew me a kiss and walked home.

Jenifer,

I would be interested in the results of your study.  I'm also writing a paper
for my MA in Women's Study on self-defense for women.  I can tell you first hand
that I've had to use physical force on a man to protect myself.  I once used
every ounce of energy to subdue a guy who initially tried to run me over with
his car.  I choked him as well as hit him three times in his groin with my knee. 
It took three very, powerful shots to finally get him to buckle.  He still
fought with me even as he was going down.  So, in essence the old knee to the
balls doesn't always work even from a woman who has been trained extensively.  I
recommend hitting the guy in his eyes because if he can't see you, he can't hurt
you.  At the time of this incident, I was a cop and couldn't justify using this
method.  However  if I wasn't wearing a uniform, I would have really hurt him. 
I was just trying to subdue him and take him into custody at the time with the
least amount of injury to both of us.

I hope I've helped!  Email me if you have any further questions.

Ok ppl. this is a rare case. I am a male.  I respect women only God knows how
much.
So, I wouldn't do anything to hurt one.
It happened during practice. she was my partner. so by mistake (I think) she got
me with a front
kick. I did feel the pain. but yet it was immediately turned into anger. the
pain was gone immediately.
I didn't do anything to her, and walked away. but I was so tempered, my friend
came up to me to ask me if I was ok, 
well as much as it is my fault. he turned up with a fractured bones in the
hospital.
As said, this is a rare case...I also got a couple more blows by soccer balls
etc. and the result has always been the same.
I recommend though to all women, that a hit to the groin region is the 
most natural and effective spot to get an attacker down. and in my opinion, guys
who can't respect themselves and women. should get
a good beating and show him the right way.
ok enough with the lesson :-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(sorry for my grammar, it's not my mother tongue)
I stood in a waiting line in the cafeteria in the university. 
I wasn't in my best mood, cause it was a rainy and a little bit depressing day.
She stood in front of me seeming to be undecided which food to take. 
It took a bit to long an I passed her and reached for a cup of food.
Just in this moment she started moving and we bumbed in eachother, but not very
hard.
Automatic I said I'm sorry while she simoultaneously reacted very unfriendly in
words, 
can't remember what she said exaclty.
At this moment we stood facing each other not standing very far.
Then her eyes went down to the height of my hip, not looking very friendly.
I forsee what was coming, but was not fast enough to prevent contact to my balls
completly.
She rammed her right knee upwards, but most energy got me at the inside of my
right thigh,
cause I turned my hip to the right.
I was distracted for about two seconds, like you loose control of your leg, when
you get a light
slap shortly under you kneecap by a doctor. Natural reflex. 
But it was enought time shoot adreneline into my blood and I went really angry
(or you can say mad)
about her overreaction. I'm very calm and normaly you even can't provoke me by
any words to get me physical. Only thing getting me mad is unjustice, to others
and naturally especally to me. 
And her reaction was not suitable. Back to action. 
I focused her (probably) upset and she looked as if it was right was she did.
This all went very fast and I still my waist was twisted, 
so the power from there was additional my arms and my fist landed on her nose
was really
forcefull. She staggered against the counter. If she had shown any sign of be
willing to continue
I immediatly had placed something after it. But she was not interested anymore.
Her nose was bleeding and she held it. I know myself how it hurts. 
(This wasn't mentioned yet, but the nose is also very sensitive. 
Good place for defence. To hit by head or fist. But I heard the bone 
in the nose can go into the brain, and this can be mortal. Didn't thought about
it at this moment)
All people around were looking, but I didn't mind. One said "He must be nuts".
My friend said afterwards, that I really looked in rage and I felt like it. 
Comprehensible I wasn't hungry anymore and went out still excited. Nobody
engaged me for hitting a girl,
what could have happend by people that only saw the last part. 
But I also woudn't cross the way voluntary of someone in rage. 
I don't like this condition, loosing common sense, but you can't do anything
against it if it happens.

Concluding: If she had hit her aim, I had been disabled.
But I think her reaction was not suitable.
You only should go physical if you are attacked physical.
In such a situation going for the balls is an effectiv taktic.
But I can't understand, that good friends or couples do hurt by this way, as I
read here.
To stop an unwanted things you have other means if he does not hear to your
words. 
A light punch to the rips and shouting should teach enough that you mean it
serious to stop.
If he doesn't he has not enough respect and from her point of view I would ask
me if he is the right one.
I always would offense at ball-attacks, and I would ask me if SHE is the right
one.
It's also a question of respect.
In case of defense in a dangerous situation don't forget other parts of the
body,
if your chance is higher to land a distracting hit there.
Best tip someone else also made: Go to a self-defence course, that has a good
reputation
and also teaches how to avoid conflicts. It should not be only one time.
To develop a selfassured behave (so that the wrong guys don't really think of
(it doesn't come to there mind) pissing you) you have to train frequent. 
But do not overdo your selfassuered defence-behaveiour to everyone
you meet. :-) I heard there are also a few kind people around somewhere :-))
For your future I wish by heart you only would be surrounded by them...

Vengalo

My sisters friend was spending the night and we were 
all watching a movie in the den. My parents were out
and i was in charge of watching them. It got late and
when the movie was over i told them they had to go to
sleep cause i was going to.My sis wouldn't budge off
the couch so i started to lift her when she started to fight. I dropped her and
stepped back but her friend 
had gotten on her kneees and tripped me. As i fell
my sis jumped  on my chest and pinned me down. Just as
I threw her off, her friend pushed my knees open and 
came down with her knee right between my legs. My knees clampped shut as i
doubled up..I felt the air rush out
of my lungs but not pain for about 2 seconds. Her knee 
had pinned my balls to the floor and she held them,
grinding with all her weight(all 100lbs). I pushed
her off with what little strength I had  and crawled 
to the couch. They both went upstairs giggling as I
layed there in pain. I played it down later but she 
really did nail me good.  I told my sis to do that to
any guy bothering her cause it really works.

I don't like to tell this story because I am very ashamed of it. Back in my
junior year off college, I saw the most beautiful girl. I asked her out numerous
times. Everytime the answer was no. She lived in the dorms across the campus. 
One day I decided that I would ask her out again. She of course said no and told
me to leave her the hell alone. This time something just clicked in me. That
night I followed her home from one of her late classes. When we got to the dark
part of the sidwalk, I decided to make my move. i ran up behind her and grabbed
her. I threw her to the ground and got on top of her. I then ripped her shirt
off. I had a hold of her arms with my arms. When I went to unzip my pants I
accidentally let one of her arms go. She immediatly reached out and grabbed my
balls. Sh squeezed so hard that I thought taht I was going to die. When she
finally let go she ran off to her dorm. I just layed there on the ground crying
holding my balls. 
The next day I approached her, with a limp of course, and appologized. She was
very pissed, but luckily she didn't turn me in. As I started to limp away she
said "Hey, how about we go out tonight." Low and behold we went out that night
and are still together today. She still teases me about that night!

say him standing there talking to another girl. His back was facing me. I walked
up behind him and kicked him as hard as I could right in the balls. He fell to
the ground and clutched his injured testicles.I never apologized for doing it.

I was swiming in a wave pool that was extremly crowded
because it was 100 degrees that day. Because of the 
wave action and the amount of people in the pool, I 
became trapped in a cluster of about 10 people, all of
whom were bouncing into each other. I think the girl 
thought I was intentionaly pressing againgst her. She 
was trying to get back on her raft, and in doing so she
kicked backwards very hard with her leg. Her heel 
caught me strategically right in the balls. I was 
stunned and had extreme pain. I couldnt swim and 
sucked in some water. I managed to get out of the pool,
but was incapacitated for about 20 min.

I was at a party dancing with this really hot girl.  Anyway, we started to get
kinda freaky and I kind of touched her breast.  She didn't seem to mind, so I
sort of kept going (by the way, at that point I was dancing with her from
behind).  After a little while, she turned to face me, looked me in the eye, put
her hands on my hips and kneed me pretty hard in the balls.  My knees were bent
('cuz I was still dancing) and she was pretty upright, and she kind of pulled my
waist into her thigh as she crunched my nuts with it.  I figure with her
position and leverage, she probably could have got me a lot harder, but
apparently she had some degree of mercy.  I swear, I feel like she could have
killed me!  I wanted to just drop to the ground right there but in an effort to
save face, I managed to make it to the wall to recuperate.  I just have to say
that that REALLY hurt.

Actually, I saw the same girl at a party a few weeks later.  I didn't think she
saw me but when she and her friends pushed by me in the crowd she gave me a sort
of backhand flick to my nuts.  It hurt and had me walking a little funny for a
couple of minutes, but it was nothing like the knee shot.

I've had a nice man tell me about how well attacks
work on a man's testicles, so I was prepared. I was
in an elevator when a drunk man exposed his penis to
me. I remembered what I had been told by this other
man and decided to give myself the best chance. I
asked him if I could get a better look. So believe 
it or not he opened his pants completely and hung 
them open. I then grabbed one of his testicles and
just started squeezing and pulling. He came right off
his feet and started moaning loudly. I just kept it
up and put as much twist and pressure as I could.
He fell down and after a minute, I let go. He was
hunched up holding his crotch and I could see his
nuts peeking out behind so I gave him a couple of 
good hard kicks right in the bag. I could take my
time and made sure that I struck the testicles with
each kick. There is nothing that is so easy to 
injure on a man as his nuts, I recommend all women
to make sure they use that advantage.

We have discussed, how many kicks into the balls were needed, to get a man
disabled, and I offered the two girls (good friends of me) to try and test it.
So I kneed down and closed my eyes and the girls begin to Kick between my legs.
First 4 times they do it very carefully and nothing happened. Then one girl put
on other shoes with steel caps(Doc Martens) and she try it again. But now she
was kicking very very hard and I went down on the ground. Both girl were
laughing and enjoyed, so they continued with kicking. At last they grapped my
balls and they had very much fun. 
My nuts were swelled both and very hurt for many hours. three days they were red
and a little bit blue.
