Well, I worry sometimes.

I dont wear a real cup, but I usually stuff an old sock down there for extra padding. If you wear loose pants though, the material would probably absorb most of the shots momentum before it did any damage to the family jewels, but then again Ive never had opportunity to test that theory.

It's never happened to me, but my pants are baggy enough to, as Enos said, absorb most of the impact. It's never a bad idea to wear a cup when you'll be doing something that may involve injuring your junk.

There's at least one instance in which a paintball hit caused a testicular rupture. Not common at all, obviously.

As for me, ol' righty has taken a couple for the team. I'm ok.

I wear a cup because I get scared and limit myself. I have had a couple of close calls and decided I would get hit there sooner or later so I bought a cup.

Meh - no biggie.  Getting shot in the throat hurts more (and is more likely).

Different "type" of pain, but neck shots hurt like a bugger as well. I got two in one day; one in the adams apple, and one in the "dimple" where the esophagus goes into the breast bone/rib cage. Neither broke.

Been shot there plenty of times. But your pants have more than enough baggy material in the crotch area to absorb most of the energy from the hit. Honestly, hurts way less than a finger or throat shot.

I've never really taken a ball shot, there was a close call a couple weeks ago, but im usually not to worried. If i get hit, no big deal, it probaly wont hurt at much as the slapshot i took there playing street hockey as a kid.

Yeah you wish you were that big!

I'm pretty sure getting bunkered in the balls would hurt though.

I've been shot both down south and in the neck, right on the jugular vein (which bled like a mother), and I must say they were both equal as far as pain level is concerned.

i wish i wasnt, honestly, it must be pretty unconeniant to cary aroundsomething that big.

the reason i hurt my knee is because i fell to the floor and groaned and although the ground was sand i managed to find a hard spot
5 minutes later my knee was as big as 2 walhnuts

getting bunkered and shot there still isn't bad as the bagginess of your pants still takes the energy out of the shot.
