I suppose it depends, fortunately I haven't been hit in the balls since I was 18, and then he only winged me with a football.
When is it okay for a grown man to cry?

I swear I'm not stalking you today, Mark
But yes, I agree, I broke my collarbone a few months ago and the pain was so intense that I felt too sick to cry. When you hurt yourself that bad, your body is too busy trying to figure out what just got messed up and how to deal with it to bawl...
With that said, a few days later, once I realized I'd have to relearn how to LIVE, I cried. A lot. Thank God for parents and telephones.
Oooo... Football to the nuts is probably the worst way to get nailed in the jewels. It's the tip, and the spinning, and the velocity. Yep. Ouch.
I've had both and a rugby ball which is much the same but usually with less velocity, but referring to an English soccer football, more likely to wing you. Yes it hurt though, and my eyes did water, not sure it counted as crying though.
Embarrassingly I got nadded by an American football, because I mistimed the catch, ouch!
I cried my blessed little eyes out when getting hit with a soccer football from a corner kick at the age of 8; I was walking like a cowboy for some considerable time afterwards, when it's that hard it bloody hurts.

I realized after I had posted that you were English.
But it sounds like you've had quite the time getting drilled in the nuts with various balls (pun most certainly intended), Sidhe. I'm not sure if I should salute or pity you, oh pioneer of nut-crushing athletic activities.
Nah I just remember the only times it happened, frankly everyone get's nadded at one time or another if you spend your entire childhood playing lots of sport. No need for pity it's an occupational hazard. That said it's probably why I've not been nadded since 18, I now have an almost supernatural ability to guard my balls. Evolution in action.

I wonder if that's when Darwin REALLY got the idea for Origin of Species: he got nailed in the nuts with a cricket bat.

Well sometimes they are based on a true story which would make it sadder.
The only song I ever cried for was Charles Mingus' Theme For Lester Young. It's a slow, mournful instrumental jazz piece. At the time I felt very alone and was angry at a lot of things and I related to the song in a deep way. It wasn't sobbing, more like Indian-sees-people-littering tears.

Music can make me get misty-eyed now and then. It involves a combination of the song itself and the circumstances surrounding myself when I listen to it.
I think it's just because music is a more intimate medium than movies...not to say I don't love movies though.

I don't cry for songs. Not even Adagio for Strings. I just feel extremely dead on the inside.
Those commercials were the epitome of great advertising.

I actually almost cried at the end of Marley and Me. Wish I could have.

It sucks, but I seem to cry at a lot of things. I voted for Ol' Yeller's death.
I also cried in the scene from the disney movie, Fox and the Hound, when the old lady tried to set the fox loose. I also cried at the end of a Futurama episode, "Jurassic Bark"
A weird time I cried, was from exhaustion...it happened after a particularly strenuous wrestling practice back in high school.

I cried when I paid 10 dollars to see The Spirit.

Honestly, cry anywhere any time you want. It's no big deal unless you like being a product of social conditioning. omg deep
