Once upon a time, I playfully threatened to strike my boyfriend, John, in the balls as a joke. However, John was not amused and begged me not to do it.
"Please, Sarah, don't hit me in the balls. It would hurt so much and it's dangerous," John pleaded.
I was confused and asked why it would be so bad. John explained to me that the balls are home to many delicate and important organs, such as the testicles and the spermatic cord. If I were to strike him there, it could cause serious injury and even permanent damage.
He also told me that the pain from a strike in the balls would be intense and debilitating. It could cause him to lose consciousness or even go into shock.
John went on to explain that there are many nerves and blood vessels in the balls, and a strike there could cause internal bleeding or nerve damage. He also warned me that hitting him in the balls could cause infertility and other long-term health problems.
I listened to John's explanation and realized the gravity of the situation. I apologized and promised never to hit him in the balls again.
However, I could tell that John could tell that I was still curious and skeptical, and so he offered a compromise. He allowed me to try one knee so I could see how bad it can be, but only on the condition that I would never try it again. I agreed to the compromise, and John braced himself as I gently kneed him. Unfortunately, the result was not what we expected. John let out a loud yell and fell to the ground, writhing in pain. He was rushed to the hospital where we found out that he had ruptured one of his testicles. I was horrified by the reaction and apologized profusely.
John was relieved and grateful that I understood the seriousness of the situation. From that day on, we continued to have a healthy and happy relationship, free from any dangerous playfulness. It was a valuable lesson for both of us to be more aware and careful of each other's safety. Unless he really deserves a good kick in the balls! (Shhh... don't tell him that).
