Mr. Happy Not so happy.....

[Westley]

Yes, it is what you think. I was fencing (epee) and my opponents sword flung upward right into my crotch. Unprotected. My god, I have never felt so much pain in my life. Not only does it hurt then, but you can't stand, you can't sit, you can't lie down, you can't change pants, you can't eat, breathe and barely can even post on fencing.net. I tell you one, thing, I'm wearing a cup from now on. Cornflower, get the lotion.

Once a guy at my club tried to hit me from low line to high line, his foil get caught on my breeches and his blade kept going, the tip was forced out of the fold it caught on straight into my .... well you get the idea. Think a flick to the groin. ouch!

[cornflower]

I'm not going to act all dumb and go - "Geez, just WHY does my name keep getting mentioned in these kind of threads?". Hehehehehe! Getting hit in the crotch while epee fencing isn't pretty, it's happened to me before although I'm sure it wouldn't have been the same if I had a dick and balls.

[Westley]

What did you do afterwards? I mean, besides roll up in a ball and cry for two hours?

[cornflower]

I just breathed in really quickly and tried to not cry. Hahahah!

[Sarah]

Yeah... Cups are your friends.

Did it go into your vagina or something?

[Sarah]

RL, how did you come up with that?

[lochinvar]

This has been debated/discussed periodically on the boards, and probably will be again...and again...and again...

Long story short: I wear a cup. Only takes one good shot to the 'nads to convince.

Anecdote: I directed a bout where--if you'll believe it--the two fencers simultaneously hit each other in the stones. Both fell to the strip moaning, and I had to call the next bout while they composed themselves. (They finished their bout after.) I'm sure it was painful, but it was hard not to burst out laughing...

One word-ICE!

[Westley]

Ice is our friend.

[geezer]

(sigh)...won't you kids ever learn?

Evicerated Nads love Emerald Nuts....oh wait, that's a different thread.

[latenight]

ps- It is an excellent opportunity to see if you can find someone to "kiss it and make it better"

Think of it as Evolution In Action

Or as the saying goes, "Experience keeps a dear school, but a fool will learn in no other."

I await the flood of macho "I never wear a cup 'cause it don't hurt a real man" posts...

Unless you stand right back up and fence like nothing happened you're a weak fencer who does not deserve to be in this sport.

Does that satisfy your daily "macho" requirement?

[Soldier]

Oh, no. I would think the more man you are, the worse it would hurt!

[Westley]

I've proved that today! (No matter the pain, never back out of a chance to flant the size of your mini-me. Or biggie-me.

[cornflower]

Well, make it happy again, buy a porno and lube up.
