I've never been hit in the liver or kicked in the balls. I hope that by saying this I don't incur the wrath of the ball-kicker god....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've been hit in the balls, and it isn't just painful, but debilitating. Your body is suffused with a deep, hard, spreading nausea that seems to radiate out from your kidneys, whilst you lay there in a gelid gibbering state.

Frank, I'm feeling the same way. And I like hot. This is just getting....uhg. Mainly because I don't have good cool-down options. I don't even want to know how hot my apartment will be when I get home. It was 75 when I left. The a/c ran all night.
The birds outside my window right now? Are panting. That's not right.

Huh.
Well it seems that I've lacked one or two quintessentially male experiences, but I think I'll survive without this one.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It is 96 degrees out there. It's supposed to be 76 tomorrow. I'm not buying it. It's so hazy, the sky looks white, but I'm not seeing anything in the way of clouds that would indicate a major change in temprature is coming.
It's real. We're a day or two ahead of you in this, and it is pleasant and almost cool today after topping 100 on Sunday.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
People to the east of me: I promise, it's going to cool off. Between yesterday and today, the temperature has dropped 20 degrees. And the weather system is moving east. Hang in there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been hit in the balls, and it isn't just painful, but debilitating
That's a distinction I've tried to draw to guys who rank it with being hit in the breasts -- that's just pain, and varies a LOT. The whole "I'm down! I'm getting up! I'm falling over..." thing is bigger than just localised pain.
The liver -- well, I don't know if it's like the groin, but it's certainly a radiating and highly distracting pain that flushes right through you and does things like encourage you to vomit or pee right there.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Your body is suffused with a deep, hard, spreading nausea that seems to radiate out from your kidneys, whilst you lay there in a gelid gibbering state.
Yup, and it takes a second for the pain to actually register. You're first thought is usually "Whoa, that wasn't too... YEOWWWWWWWWWWWW"
It hadn't occurred to me that men would wince at bras.
True. More likely to jot down a few notes for future reference...

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My karate instructure used to say that getting kicked in the balls wasn't all that big a deal
I'll have to disagree on that point. Even a grazing shot can leave you feeling sick to your stomach for several minutes.
I mean, I guess one could become adapted to it over time if they worked at it, I mean the Shaolin monks intentionally hit themselves in the head with bags of rocks and whatnot, but I personally don't feel like trying to find out.

I can't even.
it isn't just painful, but debilitating.
You can get used to it, sort of, depending on how crushy the effect was. Not that I advocate this behaviour, but it does happen. I think there's a double-bonus for surprise effect. If you know it is coming, it isn't quite as bad.
One of my favourite testicular injury stories was at the Pennsic war when a buddy of mine got hit so hard in the groin that his cup split almost in two, opened for a second, then closed again on his squishy bits. This is the same guy who was bitten by a snake on said parts too.
He's definitely a pain magnet.
