I'll never experience either but I'll have to go with childbirth, just for the length of it. Some women are in labour for 36 hours, who's getting kicked in the nuts for 36 hours straight?0

I say getting kicked in the nuts. Even just talking about it hurts...0

I've met many women who want more children but I've never seen a man who wanted to be kicked in the balls more often.
Guess if you really wanted to find out you could ask a hermaphrodite.0 -
I can't say for sure, but from how childbirth has been described i'd probably go with that.
I've taken some nasty kicks, and they can be pretty bad, but it's not as much pain as other things. If you got knocked really good, your wind gets knocked out. Your stomach hurts something terrible; the pain isn't necessarily in your crotch. It always seemed to me that getting kicked is kind of a dull, take your breath away pain.
Childbirth, meanwhile, looks like it's a sharper pain. Though of course i could never tell for sure. I imagine it as how it feels when you're pooping when you REALLY had to poo, and you get that kinda sharp pain in your butt/stomach. Like REALLY had to poo.
To me, contractions were extremely uncomfortable, but I wouldn't call it PAIN. It's just that mine STARTED at two minutes apart and five of the six hours I was in labor (I know -- short) was transition, which is the most intense part of labor.
The actual pushing part didn't hurt at all. When the contractions started. I pushed through them and didn't feel them at all. And the process of the baby actually coming out felt a lot like having sex. I can't speak for anyone else, but that was my experience and I've known a few other women who would say the same.0 -

in responce to the question, probably kicked in the nuts, cos theres pain relief for labour pains0 -
Pretty sure I didn't say that it was fun or that I had sex with my baby. However, considering where the baby comes out and the particular nerve endings in that area, the physical sensations were similar. I am not the only woman who has experienced that, either. It's still bloody and difficult and there's a doctor down there with novacaine and a scalpal, so no, not like having sex with anyone.
I was just teasing you a bit.0 -
Child birth and being kicked in the balls are nowhere close to being on the same level. How about discussing Cluster head aches and child birth.0

Me don't know have nuts, and when I delivered my son, I didn't have the epidural and still get asked if I was crazy. Honestly, I really didn't have much pain, was tired more then anything.0

I've heard that... don't some women orgasm as they give birth?0 -
This officially has become ridiculous now...0

Definitely child birth. Any man who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
Getting kicked in the nuts. Any woman who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
See what I did there?0 -

Nicely done. No double standards here!0 -

Because male friends of mine are continually saying being kicked in the gonads is more difficult I wanted a broader opinion. Feel free to start a cluster headache/child birth thread if you'd like. :P0
