How Do I Get My Sister To Stop Hitting My Testes?

The original question is much longer than the title. Here’s the whole question:

How do I get my sister to stop hitting my testes?
I'm 16 and my sister is 13. We're living on our own for the first time as my parents are traveling. During an argument my sister and I got into a fight and she kneed me right in the testicles. The pain was unimaginably bad and as I was down on the ground she got this look like a lightbulb went on in her head when she discovered my weakspot. Any time there's a dispute for something in the house, she goes for my nutsack each time. I try to protect them, but each time she kicks or knees or squeezes my balls and I fall down in tears. In the most recent fight I got a kick in on her groin first but she didn't have a reaction, then she kneed me back and I was in pain for nearly two hours and had to go throw up.
Now every time she wants something in the house all she has to do is threaten my testicles like "I'm going to kick them into your throat if you don't give me the remote."
I'm too embarrassed to call my parents or tell anyone. I always assumed I was bigger and stronger than my sister but I guess the fact that I have two dangling balls says otherwise. How can I get her to stop? I once tried to express to her how fragile and important they are but all it did was made her laugh.

 First of all, I’m sorry you’re going through this. No one should have to live with being assaulted on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to deal with physical abuse when someone doesn’t get what they want. And in that same ideal world, you’d be able to have a conversation with her about how painful this is and that you want her to stop.

And in that same ideal world, she would respect what you’re telling her.

But in the real world, it’s obviously not that easy.

I need you to keep in mind that you’re dealing with a 13-year-old, and that her brain isn’t as developed as yours. So rationalizing with her may not work that well.

I would definitely not recommend hitting her. That isn’t going to help the situation. And as you’ve already learned, it just makes her retaliate.

I know you said they’re traveling, but have you talked to your parents about this? Are there any other adults in your life who are close by that you can talk to who might be able to step in and help?

I know you’re embarrassed to tell someone. You may also be afraid to tell someone because you fear they may not take it seriously. But this needs to be dealt with. You know all too well that this hurts and being hit like that can cause real damage.

I spoke to a few male friends of mine about this. They agreed with all the things I already said. And they had some other suggestions.

One was to wear a cup. Though you don’t want to wear one all day every day. Doing so can lead to skin irritation, and from the guys I asked, it’s not all that comfortable.

The upside is that if you’re wearing one when she hits you, it’s not going to hurt you. Though you will feel some pressure, she’s not going to be able to drop you to your knees. And if she doesn’t get the effect she wants, that might cause her to stop.

A suggestion that I got from a friend who told me he had something similar happen to him as a kid, is to learn some self-defense moves. There are some things you can do that can help block a blow to your nut sack. But that’s assuming you see it coming.

I want to say again that I think getting an adult involved is really important. You shouldn’t have to live in a situation where you’re being hurt. And you shouldn’t have to figure this out on your own.

And I need to point out that what you experienced after being hit in the nut sack, can be a sign of a serious injury. Any time a man tells me that he felt pain in his testicles for more than an hour after they get hit, I always advise they go see a health care provider. That can be a sign of an injury, like your testicle rupturing.

If this happens again and the pain lasts more than an hour, or there’s bruising or swelling of your nut sack, or it hurts when you pee, or there’s blood in the urine, please go see a health care provider.

For the person who asked this, I really hope you can get this resolved.

Until next time everyone, be safe, and have fun!
