I don&#x27;t know the first thing about fencing. But that image doesn&#x27;t look like a stab to me. It doesn&#x27;t look like it&#x27;s aimed at the penis in particular either. (But again I know nothing of the sport.) (Edit: I agree that if I had a sword, the crotch could be considered for an attack, but I&#x27;d go for the hip joints mostly.)<p>What I do know is that if I have a sharp stick, I will not aim it at your penis. The main goal in a fight is to incapacitate. So an attack on the penis even if successful would be rather wasted. Bleeding from the crotch doesn&#x27;t make you any less dangerous in the short term.
