I've done it as a method of defense against my abusive ex. I've accidentally hit my husband, if we are play fighting or wrestling and I'm trying to escape. I wouldn't hesitate to nail him or anyone else if I honestly feared for my safety.
lol, what's with the roller blades and kicks to the balls?
In my case, dude was playing roller hockey and smacked me in the arm with a hockey stick as he rolled by after I specifically told him that if he hit me, I'd put the hurting on his junk.
I've actually tried to kick/punch DH in the balls, but not for those reasons. DH teaches self defense (the joint lock section) and he claims that regardless of how often it's used in movies/tv, a kick/punch to the balls is one of the least effective defense moves because the actual move is so predictive that it lends itself to instant defense from the man. So naturally i tried to disprove his theory by trying to get an effective hit to his genitals in a simulated fight scene. He was right, I couldn't get one clean shot no matter how i tried. Damn it.
I was at a party once and someone spiked my drink. I woke up with some dude on top of me. I kicked him in the balls and punched him in the head and basically fought my way out of the room I was in. I made it out and called the cops.
Once a guy threw a hot piece of pizza in my face and I retaliated. It was a reaction, not "hmmm, how can I hurt him the most". I've never reacted like that before or since. Maybe it was the face burns that did it.

Not since third grade. My stepfather taught me how to defend myself in case of Stranger Danger, with the main move being a swift kick to the gents. I decided that danger lurked within most all of the boys in my class. It was a brief phase.
I only ever kicked a guy on purpose once. I was too young to remember the exact age now, and it was my brother. He beat the shit out of me and I learned to never, ever kick a guy in the balls on purpose.
Now, I'm clumsy and H and I jokingly wrestle around a lot so it happens by complete accident on occasion, but never on purpose.

Definitely good reason for kicking him in the balls. I wish I could kick him for you too.
I don't think I've ever gotten to that point, but I would if I needed to escape.
If you need to escape, poke them in the eyes and/or hit them in the nose with the palm of your hand. Also, kicking their knees is effective.
This is what I learned in a self defense class taught by police officers who train other police officers and soldiers in hand to hand combat.
I took a self defense class after my encounter and I learned these techniques. As well as something called a "v strike". You make a v with your thumb and fingers and then hit them with the "v" in the throat. Nothing like cutting of an attackers air supply to stop them in their tracks.
Never on purpose. I trained in martial arts, though, and one of the techniques I was practicing with a fellow student was a defense against groin kicks. I was supposed aim for the groin and he was supposed to turn his leg in to protect it. He kept getting mad at me for pulling my kicks (not trying hard enough) so I stopped pulling them.
His defense turned out to be ineffective. He didn't complain again when I went back to pulling my kicks.
The same guy punched me in the throat while sparring some time later, so I'm not sure if he held a grudge or was just really really bad at martial arts. I never practiced with him again. Jerk.
