The physical pain of child birth is one of those things that men are mercifully exempt from having to experience. But have you ever wondered just how a man would cope with having to give birth? Well as you can see from the hilarious video below, the answer to that question is “not very well.”
The man writhing in agony is Johnny Wade, a Lincoln Memorial University Student who bravely volunteered to be hooked up to a machine that emulates the pain experienced by women during childbirth. With his friends filming him and another friend holding him, Johnny, who’s training to be a nurse anesthetist, managed a mere 20 seconds before tapping out. Still, it looks like they were quite possibly the most traumatic 20 seconds of his life. It’s just a good job the survival of the human race isn’t dependent on men giving birth, because if it was, it looks like we’d soon be extinct.

Hope this helps making the option for epidural available to all. Unfortunately the culture according to which "a woman SHOULD suffer" in order to give birth "naturally" is still very much resistant in many countries. Painless birth is possible and should become a right for all those who request it, not just a privilege.

I do believe that this pain simulator maybe be able to simulate the physical pain a woman experiences during labor (and I'm glad that men are able to get a slight idea of what it's like to give birth). But add to that the emotional turmoil a woman is feeling during labor – fear about her baby's and her own health; fear of the future (which is magnified enormously during those few, or not, hours); fear of the pain itself, which doesn't last a few seconds, or even minutes, it can last for hours when you add the contractions; being torn between absolute happiness and absolute panic... No man will ever even come close to understanding what giving birth means.

You think that men don’t fear the baby’s and mother’s health during labor, and by extension, the happiness and panic? I know it’s not the same as what you’re saying, but it’s not exactly mutually exclusive, either.
