It's stupid. (what I do with my time). but I wanted to write my answer to these closed questions in a fair way after reading all the responses.
I am a woman so I wouldn't exactly know the experiences of what it is like being kicked in the balls, but nor did I ever give birth to compare anything to, so I am using my imagination.
First off, the experience of pain depends on the person.
There was an account of a woman who laughed all throughout her delivery and there was a video of a skater dude slam his balls on the end of a rail thereby breaking his ball sac, but then smile at his girl friend as he cupped his balls.
In alphabetical order if you must.
For "men":
Why it is:
The penis is full of nerve endings, so a kick to the balls hits all the nerve endings. Simply it.
The "del" or "dol" system seems inaccurate in many ways, but birthing pain has been often described in terms of the pain scale(1-10). 0-3 means that you can ignore the pain and do any activities without it in mind. 4-6 means that pain is constantly in your mind but you can still do virtually any activity. 7-9 means that you only think about the pain and you can't do anything else. 10 is included but inconceivable in all human experiences unless you are maybe dead. A doctor who hears a "10" won't respect your opinion. For men, I would assume the pain to be around 7-9 because of the "throwing up" responses I often here as responses and because I could imagine some men fainting at 9. In rare cases it might cause death.
men were not made to be kicked in the balls.
Why it doesn't seem like it is
A man only experiences this pain for a much shorter period of time than women do for pregnancy.
He wears a cup during sports but not while he is walking around on the streets thereby allowing a vulnerable EXTREMELY, 10+, painful spot be exposed like he doesn't care. Some men say they don't want to wax like women do because going so will be painful. Men do support and such even knowing that doing so will produce a greater chance of injury over there. There was a tv special about a man who had his penis surgically removed (with pain medications of course) and there must also be transgenders also from men to women (but in all honesty I don't know how transgender surgery happens).
inaccuracies/bias in statements.
1. When a man asks this question on YA!, he often chooses another man's response that often supports his thoughts on getting kicked in the balls as worse as the best answer despite all the other responses by women or men saying giving birth is worse. the Same goes for women who ask this question.
2. The dol or del experiment is inaccurate in supporting men's views because it produces a lot of unanswered questions: How did they test it? Who volunteered to test it? What is a tangible measurement of "dol?" (besides that it comes from dolor). How many subjects did they have? Who tested it? Why would someone volunteer to test it? and if they did it on an animal, how did they measure their responses? Why wouldn't hitting an animal's balls be caught as animal cruelty? and Why are all the top sites listed for this experiment listed in comments or forums? In fact, I looked up "dol experiment," and it was corrected to "doll experiment" (for black and whites choosing black or white dolls). I also looked up "del experiment" in the google search engine and found nothing related such as "lana del rey." Another problem with this experiment is that, when it is referenced, there are different results listed with the "del" listed. I've heard 9000 and 3000 and over 9000 for the del or dol listed for men, and 47 or near there for people in general, and I heard 97 or a number a little over 50 for giving birth for women. Also the sheer fact that some people say "dol" and others say "del" discredits this experiment as even existing. Also, the dol experiment doesn't make any sheer sense in numbers? why is the maximum experience listed at "40-something" but the pain that men experience is in the thousands. even the fact that women's numbers are higher than 40-something means that the maximum pain experienced by people in general is wrong. Some people wrongly put it as men experience it as 47 out of 9000 each time until 9000 is up. If that is the case, how can 9000 be a conceivable experience?
3. Anyone who asks this question never specifies how hard it was hit: to the asker who was probably a man: was a rope simply pulled under you? Did you fall on your balls? did you fall from skateboarding, did somebody come at you there with a knife? Was a 9000lb weight dropped on it? Did somebody kick you lightly there by accident while you as a little boy stood in front of your father while he kicked to get up? Did you get lightly kicked there during sex? Did somebody do a full frontal attack on you in your balls out of anger? How many times was the man hit?
4. Some men report to be hit all the time, in that case, that's unfortunate for that person and would be a major flaw in that body if he were to experience so much pain in his life and not adjust. If the a pain of that specific person was that high, then maybe he should just wear a cup.
For "women":
Giving birth
Why it seems like it is.
A woman in labor has often been around 7-9 (where some women faint at 9).
Even though women's vaginas were made to give birth and take the pain of it, sometimes it tears during delivery, sometimes but rarely it causes death, and sometimes a c-section is necessary.
When the pain medication wears off there is only pain for recovery.
A decision to have a second child doesn't discount the pain felt at one point.
A woman experiences the pain for a longer period of time. First, 9 months, then delivery, then recovery. During recovery and 9 months pregnancy she probably experiences less than 7 because she can still move around and read.
Why it seems like it isn't:
Women were made to give children and take both the delivery and 9-months without going to the hospital.
There are often pain medications available, for the unfortunate ones: its hard labor. For the many countries with no medication, there is only birthing pain for women.
Some women will still go through that pain again for another child.

conclusion:
I would say they are about the same. For a pregnancy that runs smoothly and for a man who had a ball kicked there. The man may initially feel a little more pain at first, but it dies down quickly unless there is a lasting injury. the woman in pregnancy feels a lot of pain for a longer period of time. For the men who have a ninja kick there and the woman who undergoes a complicated (and without pain medications) for pregnancy and both faint would experience like a 9. I was measuring the pain at one time, a man should recover faster because it was a one shot pain at one time without being too serious an injury (unless there is that's another problem), and a woman just experiences it for longer. A women needs to stay at a hospital for delivery and follow ups, but a man doesn't need to be hospitalized if it wasn't too serious. Maybe cancer is more serious than both even if the pain may be less the entire time because there is hospitalization for that "serious" problem.
And then there's this guy:
You know after watching videos like
I just spent the last hour calling bs on a kid who posted this to his facebook page. Ive been there for 3 child births and there is no way any man would chose to spit a medium sized water melon out his bum over a ball kick. Another point of view could be how is the pain being measured? Obviously by the persons tolerance right? So obviously the man has little tolerance for pain so its 9000 to him where a woman has way more tolerance for pain so its a mere 57? Sounds logical to me, and i'm a man btw.
ReplyDeleteSounds reasonable, but the 9000 pain research sounds like a Dragon Ball Z joke that was posted by a troller. Pain research might not be reliable at all.
Delete"Pain is inherently subjective," says Graham.
"research into pain response has produced variable results"
also
"Human studies more reliably show that men have higher pain thresholds than women, and some show that men have a higher pain tolerance as well,"
all quotes from:
http://news.psu.edu/story/141291/2008/11/10/research/probing-question-do-women-have-higher-pain-threshold-men
If a female continues having children, the pain is obviously bearable. and yes I'm sure most guys would use to be kicked in the balls, children are for life
Deletehow we resond to pain isn't a factor in the the measurement of del and I would choose getting kicked in the nuts over child birth because our pain goes away quickly and again you have the equipment to do so men are not ment to be kicked in the nuts and the chances of dieing in child birth now are alot less then a man being kick full on as hard as possible in the nuts it could cause all kinds of medical issues
DeleteThere is no such thing as a del unit of pain, it's something people made up so that they can have this pointless arguement. There is a dol unit of pain that was invented in the 1950s and subsequently abandoned because it wasn't useful at all. Dol units of pain only went from 0-10 by the way. Anyone who posts some stupid hocum about women,childbirth,ballkicking, and del units should be subsequently ignored.

After reviewing the facts and going over a countless number of these arguments to distribute the facts the general consensus among most men and all women who aren't stubborn idiots is that getting kicked in the balls HARD, is just as painful as giving childbirth, but for a much more brief time. Men have a higher pain threshold than women overall, it's how it is. Women only deal with childbirth because they HAVE TO. Theyre the same thing, and neither of them is something people want to do by choice, so leave it alone.
would a woman like to have another child delivered after experiencing the pain that she had while giving birth to the others? most of the time right.
ReplyDeletewould a guy like to be kicked in the balls again after being kicked in the balls? I do not think so lol.
It is hard to tell about pain thresholds, I have a really high pain tolerance regarding anything except being hit in that area, the pain doesnt go away after being hit, it lingers for minutes for me, it takes away all the air I have and it pulses and the pulses go through all your body not, it doesnt feel like pain though i cannot really explain how it actually feels, but its nothing like regular pain its weird...
Um she has another child because she wants another child not because the pain is tolerable. If someone were to offer you $5,000 for getting kicked in the balls once you wouldn't tale it?
DeleteIm not a man so i cant say anything about whether a mans pain hurts worse or not, but i went thru over 24 hours of labor, and then had to have a c- section. I have a high pain tolerance and that was the worst thing I have ever been thru in my life. I had a epidural, I had a morphine pump, and I had a dilaudid pump all at the same time and I still felt like I was in hell. would I do it again and go thru all that? yes! I have the most beautiful daughter in the world and she was worth every second of pain.
DeleteNO I WILL NOT. Why? Simple as this. Back when I was much younger we decided to plays soccer with basketballs just because.... well.... youth.
DeleteThe ball got kicked so hard you could hear that boingggggggggggggggggg sound and went straight face first full frontal to my balls.
Result? Pain that is not worth 5000$ not even 50k not even 500k. I'm not afraid of pain but I do not want to feel that same feeling ever again.
"Pain Threshold" is completely subjective, you can't expect a skinny un-athletic guy to resist a punch in the face as a professional Kickboxer...
ReplyDeleteBut going to the point: As a man, I've been hit in the "noble area" plenty of times, with many different things: tennis balls, footballs, golf balls, kicks, knee-kicks, etc. If something can describe it precisely: It feels like being pinched with a red-hot needle and keeping it there for a couple of minutes... After 10 minutes you start to feel how it calms dowm, but if you sit down in a hard surface (floor or wooden chair) you feel pressure again, and using tight pants or underwear isn't helpful either.
But, I do understand how painful can it be to give birth. I can't even imagine how hard it is, and I'm not planning to think about it. But look at it in this way:
With giving birth comes a new life, a new member of your family, a precious thing called "Children", and watching your kid's smile could worth it... On the other hand: You don't get any happiness from a nut-cracker, you just receive some minutes of laying on the floor with friends laughing, then a bit more of pain when you stand up, and more pain when you sit
Ufc fights are not stopped when a man gets kneed in the face. But it is paused when a man gets tapped in the balls. So, maybe take a Ufc fighter, have him punch a lady in the face a bunch, then inform her that getting kicked in the balls hurts much worse.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading my post it seemed like i was intentionally being insensitive. Keep in mind I was intending to come across as sarcastic, with a hint of inquisitiveness. I too believe it all depends on the person.
DeleteI think it might be fair to say that pain is never fun. Not a single guy I know has said, "Yes please, I would love a kick in the nuts today!!" On the other hand, plenty of woman make the choice to have children, frequently more than once.
ReplyDeleteComparing the pain between the two though? The way I personally see it is neither sex knows the intolerable part of the pain of the otherwise so it is completely unjustified to argue about it.
When a man gets canned, he is down for the count, anywhere from 5 seconds to hours depending on the force of the hit. I would NEVER want to experience that after seeing a reaction to it. It looks overly unbearable. Not only that, but there are some potential children in there, to be treated nicely or that could change :S
As for women, of course pregnancy is optional, but keep in mind, regardless of the fact that we make the choice and understand what's about to happen, that doesn't make it hurt less. Every mother deserves respect as none of you would be here without one, so a woman's choice to endure that pain is not a selfish one. I believe fully that pain is way more tolerable when you are doing it for love and life. Still, it does hurt, and just a small piece of info, after a woman gives birth and she tears down there, you cannot numb the whole area and the stitches are felt being done.
I don't think it's fair to compare pain threshold between the sexes, considering it all happens for different reasons.
Each sex hurts, each sex has different pain thresholds.
Try to come back in a next life as the opposite sex, THEN we have something to go on :)
What about the men that like having their balls stomped on? I know it is few and far between, but yes some men do choose to take abuse to their balls!
DeleteTo the whole question, I think it's ridiculous to try to compare any sort of pain between people. it's all down to the person, and the situation.
Just so you understand, the pain from getting kicked in the balls has nothing to do with nerves in the penis. It is TOTALLY different and unrelated to what the tip feels like. Thus, it's not even remotely the same as, say, being kicked in the clitoris.
ReplyDeleteThe testicles are a critically important organ for perpetuating the species, and very fragile. But unlike all other such organs, they are OUTSIDE THE BODY (probably to help keep them at a cooler temperature) and thus poorly protected. So, to make damn sure that men do everything they can to protect them, nature has made the balls INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE TO ANY PRESSURE which manifests PURELY AS EXTREME PAIN. There is no other real sensation in the balls, ANY SLIGHT PRESSURE will cause significant pain. Getting kicked in them is almost inconceivable. THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO TAKE ABUSE OF ANY KIND, AND THE PAIN IS NATURE'S WAY OF MAKING SURE THAT MEN KEEP THEM SAFE.
The closest organ I can think of that feels like that when you put pressure on it is the EYES, and the balls are about as fragile. It actually feels very much the same. So think of being kicked in the balls as being just like getting kicked in the EYEBALLS (if you could get sufficiently past the skull to actually kick them directly).
Actually the eyeball has no pain sensors in it. anytime you feel pain in your eye it's because you are feeling the irritation on the inside of your eyelid.
DeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteSo I read this too online a lot recently
In all respect to everyone online.
If you look hard enough there are a lot of videos which claim literal and empirical evidence to support a swift nut kick hurts more.
Personally I'd not want to be split for e'er to e'er (lol) and being male I can't speak on it. However I have been kicked in the junk my a soccer player. What I can say for sure.
1) Its true nature of pain is subjective. I'm covered in scars and brands (artistically) sure it hurt but I've seen people breakdown and I was fine
2) now you say the pain is much shorter? And cannot be compared? I'd disagree... There are cases of people who've died from the trauma of a good nut kick. And personally when that girl kicked me (soccer player) I was in the hospital and it stayed with me for a good 2 days. Every movement hurt even breathing.
I'd pretty much just say believe what you want. Take it with a grain of salt.
Or not , your choice
yeah people die from both. I still hold to the fact that the resulting pain from getting kicked is overall shorter in length of time than 9 months of pregnancy (still depending on the person).
DeleteBut if pain felt was correlated to # of deaths that occurred afterwards, then euthanasia must hurt a shitload.
and pain research is so subjective and hard to legit-ly quantify that arguments in comments are reduced to accounts of experiences.
Anyways, I will give it to your experiences that getting kicked in the balls hurt no doubt. If I could, I would choose to be reborn a man to have an additional perspective, but this argument will forever remain inconclusive.
so basically giving birth is similar to having your balls kicked for 1-20 hours, or at least having the initail pain last for that many hours. Around the same level of pain but for a much longer period.
ReplyDeleteI gave birth 4.5 months ago, and the pain is still in my mind. Basically here's what it was like:
ReplyDeleteHours 1-4 on contractions, 4 minutes a part: pain ratio was a 4-6. I could still move during SOME of the contractions, however, there were times where I was crippled and had to haunch over because of the pain.
Hours 5-13 , 2-3 minutes a part: pain was definitely a 7-9. I was completely immobilized and was bed ridden.
Hour 14, 1 minute a part: pain was elevated to 8-9. Only screams, heavy breathing, tears, and hand breaking were all I could do.
Now, for those who do not know, one contraction can last anywhere between 15 seconds (early labour) to 1-2 minutes long (mid-late labour.) So, having a contraction in mid to late labour is like experiencing a 6-9 pain for 1-2 minutes, with a brief minute or so of uterine relaxation, followed by another contraction. The average woman's labour lasts from 14-18 hours (for her first birth.)
Let's calculate:
For early labor (hours 1-4) let's say the woman experiences 15 seconds of a contraction every 4 minutes. She experiences 15 contractions in one hour, each lasting 15 seconds long. The total time spent feeling pain for the first hour is 2 minutes and 25 seconds/an hour. Total time in four hours spent in pain: 9 minutes/every 4 (pain being from a 4-6 advancing to 7-9)
For mid labor (hours 4-13) let's say the woman experiences 1 minute of a contraction every 2 minutes. She will experience 20 contractions in one hour, lasting 1 minute. The total time spent feeling pain in one hour: 20 minutes/an hour. Total time in 9 hours spent in pain: 180 minutes--3 hours (pain being a 7-9.)
For late labour (hours 14-18) let's say the woman experiences 1 minute of a contraction every minute. She will experience 30 contractions in one hour, lasting one minute. The total time spent feeling pain in one hour: 30 minutes/an hour. Total time in spent feeling pain in one hour: 30 minutes/an hour. Total time in 4 hours spent in pain: 120 minutes--2 hours (pain being 7-9).
For active labour (about an hour or so of pushing), pain is felt at an 8-9. Possibility of tearing is approx 32%. Should the woman tear she will experience pain (4-6) for the first month or so prior to giving birth.
Let's recount: 9 minutes + 180 minutes + 120 minutes = 309 minutes of pain (hours 3-18 will be a pain of 7-9). Any questions?
Ah, and as a side note, I did not experience any pain in months 1-6 of my pregnancy. The majority of my pain was back in months 6-9. I also had sciatic pain which did leave me immobilized in pain momentarily.
DeleteIt's hard to compare two different types of pains. For one, a woman experiences uterine pain during pregnancy and labour. She will experience vaginal pain during delivery and the month following labour.
Here's a very (funny for the women who've given birth) video revealing what it's like for a man to experience giving birth. You can also go to a doctor and ask to be given the "treatment" in which electric pulses causes the tensing up of muscles to simulate a woman's contraction.
Enjoy!

what an angry discussion. but I guess this is one for the battle of the sexes. If the pain scale that doctors use for patients is between 0 and 10, then I'd like to just say that all types of people have the ability to experience a 9 or 10.
ReplyDeleteI pity the person that says s/he feels a lot of pain for being his/her gender.
ReplyDeleteespecially if you feel it every day or for long periods of time.
Here is the best analogy I know on this topic:
ReplyDeleteA couple of years after giving birth to a child a woman may ponder, "I think I'll like to have another baby." The same cannot be true about a man getting kicked in the groin.
how stupid are you?^ men get kicked in the balls all they get is pain, women go through the process of giving birth and they have something to show for it, they are bringing a life into the world. I know how bad labor is, I went through over 24 hours of it 4 months ago. it was HELL!
DeletePain is merely a mental thing. It can be measured on the suggested scale but women have 9 months to prepare for the pain therefore they know what's coming whereas men have a split second to prepare for the intense pain. Giving birth isnt the same for every women but being hit in the area isnt the same for every guy either.
ReplyDeleteFor example; going into surgery you know that you will have some sort of pain afterwards so once your out of the operation you feel pain but it doesnt really hurt because you have been ready for it.
In conclusion both situations might be able to reach a 7-9. Men it will always be in that general vicinity of pain but it shouldnt reach that level for women because thy have had plenty of time to prepare for the pain. If you are a women and you have failed to prepare yourself for that kind of pain then it is your fault.
let's not point any fingers on blame. Similarly, it's a man's fault for choosing not to wear a cup when he should've been.
DeleteNo, definitely not even slightly similar. A man shouldn't expect to need to wear a cup in everyday life in anticipation for a nut shot, but a woman should expect to have pain from childbirth. Those two things aren't even slightly related. But on a different point, that is a bad point to make about being ready for pain, because just being aware of something definitely doesn't mean your body can prepare for it properly and it is kind of silly to assume that it would be able to.
DeleteJust because a woman knows the approximate time that they will go into labour and have childbirth doesn't mean they'll be prepared for the pain. Nothing in daily life can compare to the pain of childbirth OR getting hit in the nuts. Nobody can be prepared for any of those things. Nobody will know what might go wrong during childbirth.
DeleteAlso it's not like some random person off the street will run up to you and kick you in the balls for no reason. You either incited the action or it was an accident of some sort. If the latter happens.. you'd be a very unfortunate man. These accidents, however, will usually happen during sports, in which a male should wear a cup, especially during ball games. [pun not intended..]
NO girl will be prepared to give birth. Yes they're pregnant for nine months, but that doesn't mean they will be prepared. During those nine months there's vomiting, body aches, dizziness, headaches, even fainting. Where in that is there time for her to get prepared? Also, no girl gives birth on the exact date that was given to her throughout her pregnancy. Sometimes she goes into labor a few days/weeks early or a few days/weeks late. So NO girl is ever prepared for labor. A guy on the other hand can be prepared for a nut hit. 95% of the time, nut shots are done in sports, but every sport makes guys wear cups.
DeleteGetting kicked in the balls is obviously worse. After giving birth, women sometimes say they want another kid. But I have yet to hear a man say he wants another kick in the balls
ReplyDeleteYou do realise that many women are given anaesthetics during childbirth, yes? That and also you do usually end up with a 'bundle of joy' as many call it, even men. I acknowledge that getting hit in the balls is extremely painful, but you can't use this statement as justification for your argument.
DeleteSo please don't just base your opinion on such a crude statement.
So does the lady writing this not know that the penis and balls are separate things? you arent allowed to use them interchangeably. The penis has one small nerve on either side of the shaft. The balls however have their own ductus plexus (lots of nerves). The balls have the great joy of being a nerve with a weighted end held in a sac.
ReplyDeleteok cool. however too lazy to change anything.
Deletethe actual pain stays for like 10 mins after the hit.......and i heard about guys who died from being hitted on the balls(from pain ofc)well the pain coz have been hit 1 or 2 times by accident was very big.......
ReplyDeleteLol. I approve of this message.
ReplyDeleteWow you have a sad veiw of women. Just cause some ho fucked you over doesn't make that women as a whole and doesn't make childbirth hurt less. But I truly wish you well with your situation and hope you meet a decent women
ReplyDeleteU can't compare the 2 if getting kicked in the balls brought a baby in the world I'm sure men would sign up for it more than once. And to the lady who said that men wouldn't agree to having a watermelon pushed out of his ass is completely out of her mind becbecause no woman would agree to that either u cannot even come close to comparing the two a womans vagina and birth canal is made to open and to push a child out and yes it hurts very badly I'm sure. I'm a man I don't know for sure but I would imagine it hurts very badly but I would imagine it hurts all hell of a lot worse getting a watermelon shoved out of your ass
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, either one leaves you in crippling pain. I mean, my sister once kneed me in the crotch as hard as she could because she was mad at me and I was down for the count bawling and cupping myself. It was one of the worst pains I ever felt. I am a woman. I have yet to have any kids, but I'm sure that what I will felt is only a fraction of what I will feel if I have children. The groin area (on both men and woman) is full of nothing but nerve endings. So anything violent happening down there is going to suck. Period. No one will ever know if one hurts worse than the other, and why should it matter? Unless you are being assaulted and you literally have no other choice but to kick the groin of someone else, then I believe you shouldn't even consider doing it. And one of the only things that make the pain of childbirth worth going through is the end result. No amount of preparation will make something hurt less. I prepared myself each time I went to get a piercing, and guess what? It still hurt like a bitch when that needle was going through. The female body prepares itself to push out the baby, yes. But it doesn't block out the pain. It moves the pelvis bone to accommodate the birth and the birth canal is specifically made to stretch so the baby can be birthed. And yes, depending on the baby you may or may not rip, but I do know that a doctor may cut the opening if the baby is too big that way it will be easier to stitch up later. Balls? They have no preparation. And they hang outside the body so that they are cooler than body temperature because sperm can't form right if your testicles are hot all the time. Also they are extremely sensitive, so much that most men cannot stand having them touched even in the bedroom. So yes, I don't doubt for a minute that being kicked in the balls can be about or even as painful as childbirth. Even if the pain duration is a lot less than that of a woman giving birth, does that make it any less of a problem? I don't think so. I hate when people argue about this particular topic because there is no winning. They both hurt incredibly bad. And I feel for the male population because they often experience that pain but woman only experience the pain of childbirth a couple of times. So I tip my hat to the men of the world who get hit in the balls and to the women of the world who decide to have children.
ReplyDeleteAlthough most childbirths take a few hours to half a day, when my mother gave birth to me, it took over 40 hours. In the end they had to use a tool to get me out. She was on minimal anaesthetics as it thinned her blood and she had already lost a lot during the first half of giving birth. Even so, she stayed concious throughout the whole thing. It was a miracle I hadn't died during that time. I have never had a child before, but I'd think that it was and would be extremely painful.
ReplyDeleteMen have pain receptors all over their balls. So of course it would hurt if they were kicked or hit in any way. Maybe even as much as childbirth, however, there is also the fact that a majority of women tolerate monthly cramps (felt in the abdominal area) during their periods and that can 'lessen' the pain of childbirth subjectively. Obviously men do not experience these and the pain of getting hit in the balls travels first to the stomach then to the brain, so since they don't feel this sort of pain in that area as much as women do, that can affect their perception of pain.
The worst kind of pain a person can experience is actually not childbirth of getting hit in the balls. It's a type of severe headache called a Cluster Headache. So whichever one is more painful between the argued two, none will be more painful than a Cluster Headache, which can be experienced by any gender.
