I had to get my appendix removed after getting a football in the balls when I was a young lad.
So I feel, , if anything, more qualified than someone who has given birth to discuss this topic.
impact to the ball region is far worse than giving birth.

Newsflash - that wasn't your appendix they removed, which might explain the nickname you had in school & also why you never understood why they always called you "Johnny One Ball".

As a young chap I asked something similar of my sister. The reply:

It's like shlttlng a baby out of your arse

There you go.

Nobody ever thinks of the child, it's supposed to be very painful for the child, birth is nearly on a par with death in terms of horrible experiences for us all in life. We do not remember how painful it was so it cannot be proven.

The same women who wash dishes with gloves or do the gardening with dainty spades?

Yeah. G'wan, lecture us menfolk about pain.

No, they have proven that women making out during childbirth eases the pain

Read an article that was linked from here before talking about how many women orgasm during birth.. Bit freaky I thought.

a girl i went out with years ago told me that i should try pushing a bowling ball out of my japs eye if i wanted to experience the 'pain' of childbirth

I want to go back to my dad's era when you were shunted over to the boozer to "kill time" before the landlord got the call to tell you that the deed was done and to buy a packet of mints before heading over...

It depends on the labour..... some are worse than others - all of them are very painful.

I think in many ways Brown is even worse than Blair.

When Women Get a kick to the testicles, then they can start giving out about pain.

Without wanting to be too graphic, some of us have had a knock to the ovaries , dear. It's not good.

I think he'd be able to tell if he had a testicle removed.

Stepping, barefooted, on an upturned plug is the worst pain the human body can take without going into shock.
FACT!

Upturned lego brick is even worse!

Well with my first, I was induced and over 32 hours I was given the maximum amount of pitocin allowed to cause unnatural, long and frequent contractions. The pain was unbearable.
With my second it was a natural labour and compared to the first, the contractions were annoying cramps in my tummy, which progressed worse, but I was still able to cope. That labour was only 2 hours.

Exactly. Though I didn't have to endure 32 hours of pitocin, thankfully! (6 was more than enough for my taste!) Every labour is different - in my experience, anyway.

It doesn't scratch standing on an upturned plug with your bare feet.

pickarooney · 27-04-2010 10:37AM

Anyone been shot in the stomach and left to die for a week? That's pain.

Bonito · 27-04-2010 10:39AM

It depends on the woman TBH. Their ability to stand pain and how easy they give birth etc. I was the biggest born in my family and my mam said I wasn't even the most difficult. We were all born within a couple hours of her getting to hospital. My oldest sister is a different story, though. We shant go in to details. :cool:

Mr. Presentable · 27-04-2010 10:40AM

I'm sure it's very painful, but, hello! it is what they are designed to do, so I am equally sure that women are victims of their own propaganda. Higher pain threshold my apse - that has long been demonstrated to be a myth. Like the multitasking one - if they are so good at it why can women not look and steer at the same time?
