        Ehh my dick isn’t sensitive at all. Too much abuse in my teens… and 20s… and 30s

            Nah, it’s a real thing, often called death grip syndrome. You can definitely lose sensitivity if you masturbate too frequently over a long period of time.

              I wouldn’t know as circumcision at birth has meant I never had much sensitivity. It takes a lot of stimulation to get me off - and honestly it’s almost always more mental stimulation than physical. It’s not entirely unusual that I don’t “finish” if I’m not so mentally into it, or just plain run out of energy. I guess I’m glad I can last a long time for my partner’s benefit, but it can be frustrating. My spouse gets the emotional reinforcement when I do finish quickly, however, since it indicates just how excited I am.

          For science (and alcohol), I had a dude kick me in the nuts. I have not tested vagina kicking on a willing participant yet, so I don’t really have any data.

    I can’t claim to know what went through the mind of the person who originally coined it, probably some flint-carving ancestor of ours, but- I think that’s the point, at least from the way I hear it being used in french. In the sense that, given the balls are extremely sensitive, it takes courage to put them out on the table. Or on the cutting board, or anywhere they’re not supposed to be.

    Dan Savage has made this point, IIRC he specifically said “pussy should not be a term for a weak person. Pussies are strong. They eat cum and spit out babies.”
