Any doctor types care to clear that up? Thanks.

And Pattimus, if it hurts that much, you're doing it wrong.

Seriously.
Sorry I worded it kinda funny.
Not that the nerves are different, but the pain is.
Theoretically if you were punched in the stomach and you hit an important organ, it'll hurt differently (internal pain) than getting kicked in the shin or something.
Testicles are internal organs, they just have to be external in order for the sperm cells to survive. :] Thus making the pain more intense and similar to internal damage pain whereas it effects more than just the actual point of originating pain.. :]

This is just what we were taught in health, I would assume that my teacher was right, but there could be another contributing factor or she just could have been wrong. Makes sense to me though.

Transmitting pain? I don't comply. I do know that one thing can affect another though, how I couldn't explain.
That's how it's been described to me, when a man gets kicked 'there' it feels as if his entire side (depending on which one) aches and almost is paralyzed, sending them to their knees most of the time.
