Getting kicked in the testicles is very painful and some people compare it to the pain associated with childbirth.
Getting kicked in the testicles is really uncomfortable. When you are undergoing development the testicles are located in the upper part of the abdomen near your kidneys. They descend or go down into the scrotum but you still have nervous connections that go all the way up to the abdomen.
