Does punching somoene in the arm hard enough that there were knocked back(they asked for it...), even with me only sitting down count?

Depends on which circle you ran in. Some of the more hardcore skater kids, who were more used to the pain, would pull stunts like that.

Hey I dare you to touch my penis while I massage your balls. Don't worry bro it's totally not gay. Touching each other's balls is what straight men do

The culture's just different... it's not so much about getting to flick or punch a man's balls because you want to feel him up... it's more about getting hit in the most sensitive area on a man's body. Hit 'em where it hurts most. Getting slugged in the balls, and surviving said ball nad sluggage, is much more extreme than surviving a slug to the arm and so on.

Thus, this current retard culture of testicular bashing will develop an even more retarded culture of absolute pussies. They will all be born with flat balls, no hair on their bodies, and will hope to win American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and be a multi-tard-talented Disney fucking performer.

NO, THERE IS NOTHING FUCKING OKAY WITH SOMEONE GETTING HIT IN THE BALLS! I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CURRENT CULTURE THINKS IS OKAY, ITS FUCKING RETARDED, PERIOD.

It hurts for a damned reason and is not to be played around with. I mean, damn, cavemen learned long ago that if it hurts, don't fucking do it. Yet, this "modern" culture is okay with slapping each other in the balls?! WTF?!?!!
 
You can't have it both ways. Either modern culture with its delicate daisy flower tendencies about bullying, tolerance of fairies and girl-boys, aversion to contact or dangerous sports, and hurting people's feelings produces pussies, or neanderthal culture where its acceptable for guys to engage in combat, contact sports, and pain-inducing hazing rituals produces...well...neanderthals.

But you can't argue that the latter produces pussies...unless you're talking about the guys who fail or wash-out at them.

All the elite military and commando units have some kind of pain-inducing hazing ritual. e.g. the Russians are probably the worst, their hazing rituals are just sadistic.

Yeah balls are for making sperm and maybe your girl if she likes a good tea bagging. The point of socking someone in the arm is that it's not going to affect them for the rest of their life. The balls should be reserved for terrorists. High school fucks just keep trying to outdo the previous generation because they're so dumb and have no fucking idea what life is about. Everyone grows out of high school, so why not do it FIRST. Try to outdo them in an actually smart way like making money or being a rock star... that's what you're gonna have to do if you want to survive after high school. I'm fine with someone cutting off their own balls, I guess, but don't fuck with my sperm kitchen. Pouring vodka in your own eyes is fine too. Do whatever you want with your OWN dumb ass.
 
hahah sack tap.

this was all over my school fresh+sohomore year

and in 8th grade, we had the ball game. we'd sit in a classroom, usually shop class, about 10 feet apart. we'd throw a ball (think batting cage ball) at each others nuts. first to give in to the pain lost.

no, im not gay nor have i ever been. just young and stupid

im still pretty young, but this kinda thing was common in high school. it's part of the same "hardcore" shit like playing bloody knuckles or punching each other in the arm until someone gives.

it's not like it's completely random either -- it was usually a select set of people that played this game... and generally half the "fun" was just being damn paranoid for your nads all the time.

Dead frickin' exactly. I'll be a junior in college this year--but I was doing this with my group of friends for sophomore through senior years of high school. We called it, "cup check" (or foreign-language variants of that) or "casual ball tap" for great irony. I dunno, it was always pretty funny. I got it really bad a couple of times, but I just congratulated my buds on the good hit after writhing on the ground for a few minutes.

If you did that to me I would probably stab you.
 
"It's just gotten way out of control," said Dr. Scott Wheeler, a urologist in Brainerd, Minn. who says he performs three to four surgeries a year on boys with ruptured testicles and other complications as a result of “sack tapping.”

OMG, getting kicked in the nuts game is an epidemic of biblical proportions. 😀
 
Between this thread and the other "hilarious" prank of shitting in a classmate's coke I am never going anywhere fucking near an American high school. Your youth has problems, America.

IMO, just one ruptured testicle is a sign that this "game" needs to stop.

people die doing more trivial things.

Seriously? You're saying golf is more trivial than hitting someone in their genitals?

As lame as golf is, at least it doesn't involve inflicting pain on someone for fun.

Golf is an actual sport - punching someone in the balls is not. At least not here in NZ anyway.

This modern male society is "faggish" to say the least. It's disturbing to me. You worry about what you wear to school, how clean your hair and fingernails are, etc.

I'm 16 years out of high school at this point and at no point would this have been tolerated. First person that smacked another guy in the balls in the hallway, or anywhere else for that matter, would have had the shit kicked out of him and the guy the did the ass kicking would have been hailed as a hero. The kid that slapped balls would have been ridiculed as gay for the rest of his high school tenure, provided he didn't end up leaving the school altogether. No, I'm not exaggerating. No, I did not attend some redneck, white trash school.

Also, to those who say that wrestling is akin to homo-eroticism, well, that's your tendencies showing through. You probably condone or watch MMA, which is barely different.

I grew up in the same era...and I totally agree...there were stupid things we did as guys in our school but sack 'tapping' would have gotten your ass whooped in a heart beat regardless of your 'status' in the group (jock, nerd, dirtbag)
 
WTF... who does this? Went through public school my entire life and never heard of this. Closest I eve came was when the soccer coach was pissed at us so we stood in a line in front of the goal, forced to keep our hands at our sides, while he kicked a laser at us. TMK no one ever got hit there (although there were a few hard headshots), but you were legitimately afraid. 😛
