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?

That’s millions of years of evolution trying to convince you to protect the baby makers at all cost. As to why specifically it’s a spreading soulwrenching form of pain that spills over into several other nervous systems causing anything from nausea to headache that’s a complicated neuroscience question I’m not certain anyone can answer exactly.
