Schwindelfreude 

that peculiar satisfaction which arises from an understanding of the (often ludicrously simple) mechanisms by which others are scammed, defrauded and swindled.

Schwindelfreude unlike schadenfreude entails no absolute failure of empathy or compassion for one's fellow man.

The experience now called schadenfreude has been with us a long time and Aristotle uses the the term "epikhairekakia" for the pleasure derived from witnessing the dismal fortune of another.

The experience now called schwindelfreude appears to have passed unnoted by Aristotle. But as swindle and rip-off are an inevitable feature of human relationships that curious satisfaction which settles upon us as we process an account of the latest scam was probably just as well known to our ancestors.

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.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
