Really our body temp sterilises guys?
Well you were put together shite!
Yeah, that's why our genitals are external, sperm denatures and is useless unless it's a few degrees lower than our body temperature. It also doesn't work if it's too cold so that's why they adjust proximity to the body (to keep it vague) depending on the temperature.
A quick tap should hurt a lot but not damage them, a full on kick will propel them back into the pelvis and crush or rupture them. Also, regardless of how much it hurts, most guys double over to protect the area instinctively so it still does the job.
I don't have a problem with someone doing that if they have to, it's just people kind of going for the anime-visual-comedy hit that really piss me off. I mean, nature has made it so that we effectively wear an internal organ on the outside, it's not funny to try and break it. But no, I'm not going to insist that no one goes for there in a serious fight, by all means go nuts!
