In high school, I saw a girl take a direct hit to the crotch
when a wallyball bounced off the floor and went straight up.
Her reaction was not dissimilar to the reaction of the guys
I've seen take a hit.
I also saw a woman who'd given birth a couple of months ago
get kicked in the groin during a sparring session. Her
reaction was worse than those of guys I've seen take a hit.
I would say that it takes extreme precision (or extreme
vulnerability), but can be done.
And then there's that other type of hit -- when something
goes way too deep during what should be pleasurable
activities. Believe me, be glad that you can never
experience that pain.
