Quote:"In eastern China, a hospital has offered fathers-to-be the chance to understand just what their partners are going through when they give birth. After several new mothers complained that they got little sympathy from their partners, the hospital decided to offer dads a chance to feel the same level of pain that women experience in childbirth, with the intensity ranging from 1 to 10.
The free sessions are held twice a week at the Aima maternity hospital in Shandong, and surprisingly over 100 men have signed up! So why are these men so interested in experiencing this? Perhaps it’s because unlike in the West, Chinese men are often not in the room when their partners or wives give birth, so the idea of childbirth holds some mystery to them and they want to get closer to the experience.
To simulate birth for these dads, pads are attached to a device that is then placed on the man’s stomach and electric shocks are sent through to imitate contractions. A participant described the pain as feeling “like my heart and lungs were being ripped apart.” He only made it to level 7 on the pain threshold.
One woman believes that it serves a purpose, stating, “If men can experience this pain, then they’ll be more loving and caring to their wives.”
I’m sorry but even with all of this simulated pain, it still doesn’t come close to the actual experience of passing something the size of a watermelon out of your nether regions. It’s a good idea in theory, but it’s missing the anxiety leading up to the actual birth. It doesn’t capture the fear of the baby getting stuck in the birth canal or having to have an emergency C-section because the cervix isn’t dilating enough or any of the other things that can go wrong during childbirth."
