I had watched a show like America’s got Talent the night before school. The episode featured some guy who’s skill was taking hits to the groin and not being incapacitated by pain.

I knew where my older sister kept condoms in her room. So I went to school the next day. I got prepared in the toilet and walked up to a girl in my group on the playground. I announced proudly that I have a special ability and she should knee me in the balls here in front of everyone. She shrugged and put her hands on my shoulders, looked into my face questioningly and asked, “This is going to really hurt you. Are you sure?”

“I’ll be OK. Trust me”

“Well, they’re your balls”

Her knee hammered into my crotch with a thud. And the pain exploded in my groin and abdomen. I shrieked out but she dropped her leg back and I watched it rocket forward again up into my damaged and angry testicles.

I fell to the ground and sobbed for some time. People crowded around at first. Offering sympathies. Confused on what I had expected to happen. Or just laughing at my plight.

I later skunked back to the toilets and removed the condom I had stolen from my sisters drawer. I had put it on earlier, covering my entire package in my underwear. I knew boys wear condoms down there and had been told they should wear condoms for protection. But I misunderstood the meaning.

Tl;dr: Wore a condom over scrotum thinking it worked like a cup. Asked girl to knee me in the balls – thinking I’d impress her when the condom stopped it hurting me. It hurt me.
