well that's easy, how much is the value of someone kicking you very hard in the balls without them being permanently damaged?

if you live another 50 years, this amounts to roughly $9000 per kick in the balls. even factoring the randomness of the kick (its more hurtful since you can't really prepare yourself against it), i think many people would take $9000 for a kick in the balls, provided they know there won't be permanent damage.

and that's if EACH KICK gives you $9000. If you get the $500million up front, it's a really easy decision, because the rest of your life you can spend having so much fun that it easily outweighs the inconvenience of the ball-kicking, which you would probably get used to after a few years.


No. The marginal usefulness of 9000$ is falling in the amount of money you have. Say you have 1.000.000 $ would you still let yourself be kicked in the balls for 9k? No.

It's called marginal utility in economics. And yes your are correct after you had enough to live on getting kicked in the nuts for $9000 would lose appeal, after a few mill you wouldnt do it for 1000000 a kick

But I think this is an all or nothing deal.

Not sure if it was already posted.

Over time, one gets desensitized to the pain of the kicks, not to mention would become more resilient to them as well. Without training these hypothetical would blast a person's balls off, but considering the hypothetical situation doesn't deal any damage, that's not an issue.

Wow I love this question haha, I'm assuming there is no way to get out of the pain of being kicked out of the balls or dampering the feel what so ever. At first I thought there is no way get away witht his because you have responsibilites and personal presentation. But if you have an unlimited amount of funds, who cares about those things.

The only disadvantage I can see is if you were focusing really hard on something you care about and then getting kicked in the balls lol. Like getting kicked in the gsl finals!

I get kicked in the balls 3 times a day
I get paid 500 M to get kicked in the balls (a one time payment i assume)
My balls will never be 'permanently damaged'

Therefore, My nuts might hurt and get damaged temporarily.
Therefore, Yes I would accept this deal!

I think that I would get used to the pain... and just because there wouldn't be any permanent damage, just pain.

People keep saying that you can easily train to reduce pain (or get used to it). These shaolin monks and martial artists trained for many many years while using a ton of concentration and more importantly, KNOW the kick is coming, it is much easier to use a ton of focus and concentration to reduce the pain.

These kicks are coming at you randomly in the day, you're not going to be able to train yourself and reduce your pain significantly because you simply don't know when they are coming. And a surprise kick to the balls vs. a kick you know is coming is a world of difference.. Even if you do know the kick is coming, it's going to take A LOT more time for you to train. I'm pretty sure these shaolin monks and martial artists train physically a ton more than I'm sure every single person in this topic. So don't say in 5-10 years, you won't even feel the pain, you sure bet you will. If someone randomly stabs me in the back every day without me knowing but not killing me, it's probably gonna fucking hurt for a VERY long time before it stops hurting.

And once again like I said earlier, a lifetime of anxiety. If you're already decently well off financially, this isn't worth it.

Seems like many keyboard heroes and e-thugs seem to forget that physical pain will only be a minor factor in this deal, compared to the mental pressure. What people forget is that even after a few times of less painful torture people litterally do anything to make it stop.

If I'd only get kicked in the balls I'd let some surgeons cut my balls of and therefore I wont get kicked anymore (as long as I can keep my penis I think I an fine with this).
