Silicophobia

Silicophobia: This follows the standard pattern for naming phobias (using the Greek word for silicon, "silicio" or a related form, combined with "phobia," meaning fear)

Silicophobia neatly encapsulates the fear related to the technological substrate (silicon) that underpins the intelligence (artificial or silicon-based)

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
