This man went through an experiment of simulated labor pains to test the theory that men have a higher pain threshold. To his credit (he turns out to be a bit of a wimp) there is no real baby to keep him motivated. But it's fun to watch anyway.
I am not intending to argue that one gender is better than the other, I don't believe that. But I must admit this video left me feeling totally deserving of all the sympathy and admiration we women get after going through childbirth. It must be said that I have had an epidural with all three of my children, so more power to those who do it naturally. BUT I am 100% confident that before receiving an epidural or during windows of time when the epidural didn't work I endured more than this brave fellow. If you have the 10 minutes it takes to watch, let me know what you think.

A bit of a wimp? Yes! Especially since those were only contractions. He didn't have to get a baby out! Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Oh, those Aussies, such crazy blokes. What I want to know is why I haven't been offered "happy gas" during any of MY labor experiences. You know, just a little something to tide me over until I can get the epidural...
Very interesting experiment. The only thing lacking was the pain and pressure in the pelvic floor, not being able to push when you want to, etc. I laughed out loud many times - it was great. He's a great sport.
My husband told me that a woman once told him that an ingrown toenail was more painful than childbirth. I wonder if he watched this video if it would change his mind??
Thanks for sharing. Needed the laugh tonight. :)
