i have to say i did play this groin hitting thing when i was 12 in HK.  
when i went to the uk, i realise they have the "tennis racket" treatment.

i think it is just a practical joke, like putting an egg in someone's locker.
or pouring cold water in someone's shower.  

but i think, it is just something stupid and i think most people would stop when they get older.  

Among the few who voted yes in your poll, the cuttoff age for this "fun" behavior of yours seems to be somewhere around puberty, if not earlier. (How old did you say you were sexpert? ) So, let's put our thinking caps on here shall we bro - what does puberty do to a straight guy to make him think that maybe dick-groping is not so cool after all?

Well for me I just don't understand why putting someone you consider a friend in pain would be fun...

It just seems silly right??

by groin hit, i dont think he actually means 'hit'

more like a tap! i remember on the way to a brothel with my friend, i did jokingly tap his

I see. So more of a softer, sustained kind of contact... like a caress?

An old faggot tried this on me in a bar in Toronto once. I grapped him by the throat an pushed him through a door. Maybe some Asians do this, I don't know, but don't try it in the West.

Actually, quite the opposite ....

I don't think Chinese males do that ... under whatever cirsumstances ... just not in the genes ...
but North American males are more likely to do it as bro sexpert has indicated.

You actually ever been to North America? Where I come from (upper Midwest), you NEVER touch another guy's dick.

  The love that dare not speak its name.

I actually lived in the upper midwest for many years !
I'm not saying that its prevalent there and it certainly is not in HK ...
but we have an American bro that's telling us its quite normal there ...
so, do Americans have more tendency to do this - between relatives and friends ????

yes! sitting in the car outside the brothel, i noticed he had an erection! so i just tapped it and ran inside the brothel

some think its ok, some dont! watch the video

For me this poll does bring back a couple of sad memories..

When I was in grade 6....I think that should put me at 12-14 age...I once got hit with a baseball while playing 3rd Base...
It hit me right in my left nut.....
I cried....I was in tremendous pain, and most of all I was worried my dick won't work properly!

Then in High School, the boys were fooling around after school in the hallways, and then two of my friends got into an agrument, and the skinny friend was totally dominating the fat one, then the fat one tried to kick, the skinny on the knee so he claims, but instead he hit him right in the balls!  This was in the winter, so the fat friend had on heavy working style boots!..my skinny friend didn't come to school for two days....=\

Just thought I would say with those who think its fun to hit people in the balls!!!

I understand a light tap from a hit, but still..be careful, its best not to do it!

Once you are out of your teens and early twenty's (frat boy style male posturing) this kinda shit becomes an invasion of personal space.

If a close mate was to do that I'd probably laugh it off. But you need to be pretty comfortable with someone to trust their motives.

A stranger would just be told to back up or else

It's an immature way of getting a reaction from someone.

But hey depends on the circleof friends. Each to their own

ok... this may not sound relevant to some guys but if you speak Cantonese and was educated in HK in the late 80s to 90s. then you'd know what YEEEEEM means.
and that's exactly a hide and seek for guys at school.  

anyway, the "attackers" do get the bond for "victimising" the guy being YEEEEEEEMed. and the YEEEEEMed guy would not want to be YEEEEEMed so they wanna bond with the attackers.  

does it make sense to you all?

So to yeeeeem is to what - hit someone in the balls?
Were you regularly yeeeeemed at school, Jason, or were you a yeeeeemer yourself?
Do you do any yeeeeeming these days?

to yeeeem is to hit someone's balls.
oh i was a yeeeemer. was never yeeeemed. fortunately.  

the word yeeeem actually means, "to steal someone's balls"
derived from the Ching dynasty where the empress had the ladyboys serving her.  

these days.  no way i yeeeeem someone.

its good to know that you will no longer yeeeeem someone....

I don't think its good to yeeeeem anyone actually....but same males yeeeeem themselves after having kids....

I see a whole new discussion coming to life.....

It sounds like being someone's bitch in jail.

guys, thanks to my poor english now i know what yEEEEEM means in english....
it means CASTRATED...
yeah i remember i used that word a lot ....
