    Funny how often childbirth is brought up to describe how much more painful something else is, usually by people who have never given births themselves.

    that’s because they asked to get kicked in the nuts by saying shit like “getting kicked in the nuts is more painful then giving birth”

    Kidney stones > kicked in the nuts.

    I have heard kidney stones is more in the vein of child birthing.

    I mean now when we all talk about things we really don’t know much stuff about.

      If you’ve never had a kidney stone — imagine that lingering post testicle injury pain. The one where your insides hurt in a way that doesn’t even make sense (it does actually, but that is a separate tale) and you almost want to throw up. Or maybe you actually do. Good. Now imagine cranking the dial up on that feeling until it hits the same blinding intensity of the pain in your testicles during the moment of the injury. Now that you have the picture of the degree in your head, stretch that feeling from the minutes to maybe hours of a really nasty ball shot to the days and even weeks it can take to pass a kidney stone.

      (Worst guided meditation ever)

        There are worse pains than kidney stones, it’s the longevity of it that makes it hard to endure IMO.

    Woman want another child is called productive.

    Man want their nut to be kicked again is called masochist.

    Where’s the equality in that? Finding pleasure in pain shouldn’t be shunned, get your nut kicked today!

      The thing that having a child and jackass have in common is that both led to net positives for the people involved. Jackass guys got rich, mothers that like having kids get another kid. The only way it doesn’t make sense is for people who don’t understand that having kids is rewarding for some people.

    The woman who birthed my child didn’t remember anything of the actual process, the pain is so bad the brain just kinda blocks it out after the fact apparently. I’ve read this is fairly common. One thing I do remember is how bad my hand hurt after all that squeezing, I needed like a whole two ibuprofen to fix it, talk about killer.

      I believe it’s a hormone thing because otherwise nobody would have a second kid. Apparently the hormones kick in and make you forget the pain while also giving you a big hit of dopamine so that you connect having a kid to being happy.

        Oxytocin is a big one, but I’m struggling to remember the others. I remember that one cuz of a psych class where the professor brought it up as an event that mothers would associate as having some of the highest levels of it. Its considered the bonding hormone, so makes sense we’d bond with our babies so drastically to keep us motivated to care for them after they ripped our lower body apart lol

      I do think that in a truly just world, anyone who preaches Quiverful child baring should be kicked in the nuts at least once for every child they claim they want to have.

        Fucking Quiverfull. Eugenics bad, but I really hate those fucks.

        Hell, line em up, tell them to grab ankles, and I’ll take care of it with a pair of pruning shears.
