You would be surprised at how many men and women like body contact sports and how many take up boxing just so the can be hit in the stomach I have been boxing since I was 13 I have trained, worked iut and sparred with men and women who all liked being punches in the stomach. All of the were into conditioning to make their stomach strong. I know several women who are big into being hit and who are turned on just like my male friends
