Yes Im a female and i have been kicked in the groin and it was just the most EXCUCIATING pain!!!,Totally dibilitating!!! like unreal!!!Like i ever felt!!!Like i was going to die pain!!!VERY tramatic for me!And I had pain and swelling for 5 DAYS (vulva hematoma)is what i had! You guys are lucky you will not experence this!!! Now i wear protection,which may still hurt when kicked but it still help from receving possible damage that might show up later in life!!To females... you don't want to experence this So wear protection!!!![/b]
