"It's just gotten way out of control," said Wheeler, who now performs "three to four surgeries a year" on boys with ruptured testicles and other complications of being groin punched - with dozens more coming in with less severe injuries. "It's high school, junior high, elementary school," said Wheeler.

Dubbed "sack tapping" by some students, the practice is now featured in dozens of homemade videos on YouTube.

That used to happen in school all the time.

I guess the Scottish have bigger/harder balls than our transatlantic cousins ;)
 
We went through about 2 months of this at college, some people even started wearing groin guards as it got more extreme.

We had to agree to a cease fire eventually.
 
How gay do you have to be to decide "you know what, today I'm going to punch that dude over there in his balls"
 
Never heard of this before, if someone attempted to do this to me, i'd do more than hit them where it hurts.
 
I can't say it was part of school life when I was there, but occasionally someone got hit in the nuts during a game of footy when the teacher wasn't looking.

It's called competitive edge :p
 
It used to go on a bit at our school - people flicking folk in the balls. It died off pretty quickly after everyone realised that a) it was impossible to protect yourself all the time and b) it was just fair too painful.

In saying that a pal slapped me in the balls a month or so ago in a club so I punched him in his - a bit of mutual excrutiating pain reminded us why we stopped doing it at school years ago.
