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.  |

| 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. | |

| Ah, yes, the old "Cup or No Cup" question...
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...

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

Does that satisfy your daily "macho" requirement?
