Men experiencing labor pains
Sorry to upload another video but I found this online and thought it applied to our class. The video shows men getting labor pains through a muscle simulator that replicates contractions. Initially the guys don't take it seriously, and one of the women comments that if they can joke about it, the pain isn't strong enough. If you watch the entire video (under 10 mins), you see them in some pretty serious pain. One of the guys even says he's unsure if he is willing to put his wife through this to have kids. It's an interesting experiment and I thought you guys would enjoy seeing it- I recommend watching it in its entirety.
I actually watched a similar video with my mom over break, and she was stunned. Her first reaction was "Oh my god! Men can't handle it!" Later, when he just started to get uncomfortable, she started thinking about anatomy (which, I must tell you, is not your forte). "Well, men don't have uteruses, so they don't have the same abdominal structure we do." "Mom, there's a baby in there. Those muscles are stretched beyond oblivion". I just thought it was funny.
