if someone slaps you in the nuts, the pain isn’t the same at all. It’s a different kind of pain. Why?

if I slap someone on the cheek, on the butt or if one brokes his leg, the pain has different intensity but it’s the same “kind” of pain. Same if I’m burned with hot water or have appendicitis. I experienced all of these. But if someone slaps you in the nuts, the pain isn’t the same at all. It’s a different kind of pain. Why?

The nerves in your testicle sacks are incredibly sensitive and hyperspecialised. They don’t just give you generic “somethings happening” pain signals, they give you “somethings happening and it needs to stop IMMEDIATLY” signals. This is because the entire purpose of life is to make more of itself and getting the organs dedicated to that damaged is effectively an evolutionarily death sentence.
