Ballbusting acceptance

[Willie]

I recently read a comment someone made about ballbusting that rings so true to me. Basically they said that ballbusting (I think that word is fine, by the way) is pretty much universally accepted by the public, as can be attested by the amount of times you see it it movies, TV, and funny videos. Pretty much everyone laughs when someone gets hit in the balls, especially out in the public.

What is stigmatized, however, is consensual ballbusting. That is considered weird and unaccepted. Even though everyone thinks it's funny when they see it happen; if someone actually enjoys it, then they are weird or crazy or a perv.

I wonder why there is such a dichotomy between the two?

Update: My opinion on the dichotomy stems from the fact that as soon as someone "enjoys" getting kicked, it becomes a sexual thing at best, a weird kink at worst, and is now no longer a funny act, but a sexual act. (It does involve sex organs, after all). This is mostly how the general public at large views it - not the people who frequent a site like this one.

That's why I believe in Jan 22nd being the first International Ballbusting Day. Where eveyrone who's into ballbusting, male or female comes out of the closet and can be not ashamed of who they are. You can see I posted about it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BallBusting/comments/ekta59/international_...

I am not sure but I think one reason might be that people find it strange if guys like to get kicked in the balls. If you see a non-consensual kick then it is funny for many people, especially females, because of the reaction of the guy. It is mean to laugh about it, but it has some sort of "normality". It is regarded as normal if someone hurts another one and feels strong and powerful about it. That's the way of human nature. 

But if a guy WANTS to get kicked in the balls then it is regarded as "unnormal". The desire to hurt others is part of the human nature because it is a prerequisite for survival. You have to hurt prey and enemies to survive. 

But WANTING to get hurt yourself is something that usually is not good for survival, thus against nature. 

Maybe that's a reason why lots of people find it funny and socially acceptable if groinkicks are shown in movies or when females answer to bullying or harrassment with a kick to the groin, but deem it inappropriate when guys want to get kicked there.

That's how it is with masochism and violence in general not just ballbusting, and it's directed at both men and women who are into masochism with varying degrees of severity.

Read up on Operation Spanner, the worst of it I guess, where it's totally ok for the state to violently arrest and assault gay men just because they like consensual spanx. In our scene J+V get pulled from patreon for "promoting sexual violence" when they are like affectionate and laughing, but if I was to make a goryass movie/comic with a bit of ballbusting in it, or post an MMA match it would be fine. People shooting each other on TV is PG, people engaging in consensual love making is R. Women get kicked off of Tumblr for posting photos that the vice squad doesn't like.

Sexphobic puritans want to control everyone's sexualities+bodies.

I actually think it is getting much more accepted.  As time goes on you see an explosion in this material.  The number of websites and clips sites is just staggering.  They must be in the thousands.  Years ago you would be lucky to find 3 - 5 of them anywhere.  It was very hard to find.  This activity has more interest and is more accepted.  It's just taboo in some ways and people don't talk about it if they are into it.

It's illegal hit to it anywhere ever without the other person's consent.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't know if I would phrase it the same way.

Oh and the same patriarchy that tells little girls to keep both feet on the ground and that unspoken rule and the actual rules of any sport that makes men wear cups and how its illegal to hit below the belt EVER!!! These are seriously hard ingrained life lessons that really fuck up how women see and view balls 

Oh and the same patriarchy that scares us into believing that one hit will cause cancer or sterility. This is one of the hardest kinks to convince others because of all these ingrained reasons.

There are a range of reasons but here's something I wrote about recently. 

BALLBUSTING & THE PATRIARCHY…

Males… please never be offended when I use this term, I am after-all male myself. I’m not aiming to appease women or cater to some kind of male inferiority complex, I’m merely stating the reality that we live in. ALL human beings are brainwashed by patriarchy taboos and myths about “the almighty balls” – about how we must protect, cherish and be gentle with balls ALWAYS – yet at the same time we are told that balls are the ultimate in toughness and balls make you strong and significant as a male. I feel that societal views on balls is overrated, misinformed and sadly misplaced. Don't get me wrong, there are very real and scary dangers associated with rough ball activities, but social norms and values put balls on an oddly unique pedestal which warps the human perspective and puts BB on the far bizarre fringes beyond other more dangerous, questionable and unsanitary kinks partly because of this patriarchy view… We need an intervention!!!
