Many years ago I was jumped by 3 people outside a bar/club. I didn't know why they were attacking me, and I was too drunk to run away so I just tucked my chin and took shots to my forehead / crown and periodically pushed them away. None of them were that much bigger than me, and since they were only punching, I figured they'd just stop after a bit and go away, which they eventually did.
But before they stopped, one guy took careful aim and kicked me straight in the balls. I thought I was in for a rough night, but to my surprise I felt no pain at all. Not even the day after, though my head hurt somewhat (a bag of ice to the head cleared me up in a couple hours).
I figure I avoided any injury since my balls were probably partway retracted into my body due to the stress of the situation. Which got me wondering - could this response be trained? Some light Googling showed that Kegel exercises strengthens the muscles involved (cremaster muscles), and the workout seems to be effective - easy to do and helpful against strikes and grabs.
Has anyone else had a similar experience / conclusion?
TLDR:
Got kicked in the balls, felt no pain, did research, found that Kegel exercises strengthen the cremaster muscles which pull the testicles upward when activated.
