Women always say that giving birth is 'way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.
Here's proof they may be wrong.
A year or so after giving birth a woman will say "It might be nice to have another child".
Didja ever hear a guy say " Think I'd like another kick in the nuts".
I rest my case!
Possibly the woman finds the act leading up to becoming pregnant more pleasant than the lead up to a kick in the nuts.
It's a given that kegging kicked in the nuts is going to hurt a lot.
I'm told not necessarily so by my daughter, who is a natural childbirth instructor and has had three children almost pain free with no anesthesia. Her first two went so smoothly at a birthing center that she didn't bother to go there for the third, and had the baby at home.
Two evenings later was Halloween, and we all went trick-or-treating on foot with mom carrying our new grandaughter.
How can passing something the size of a watermelon not be painful?
Watermelons are a lot smaller in Lousiana, or babies are a lot bigger!
Ask a mother that's had a kidney stone which is more painful. Passing the stone or child birth.
I haven't asked my daughter about it, but I assume they carefully check out every woman's situation before encouraging her to go with natural childbirth. Obviously, it's not for all women.
When I had a kidney stone about 30 years ago, the ER nurse said that she'd had one, and it was more painful than childbirth in her opinion...but she could only compare her childbirth experience, and maybe she was one of the lucky women who it comes more easily to.
