"Feels like labor" doesn't hold up in a bunch of places. I met plenty of women going for 2nd, 3rd, 4th pregnancies. I ain't never heard a man say "Kick me in the balls again."

I heard women are wired to forget the experience, because otherwise we'd go extinct as nobody would ever want to go through it after the first time.

The brain dumps a shit load of hormones to take the edge off the (frankly, horrific) process of giving birth.

The sudden imbalance after pregnancy and labor is suspected to be a causative factor in post-partum mood disorders.

I think it's like moments after the birth that the body is flooded with feel-good hormones that do exactly that - make you forget how painful and horrible the whole thing was and only remember how great being a new mother feels.

I mean, I've seen videos of guys who pay good money for a nice girl to do all sorts of painful things to an unsuspecting testicle or two.

So, they do exist..

I always roll my eyes at this joke because a kick in the balls doesn't come with a built-in reward. It's apples and oranges.

What if I gave you ten dollars?
