Comment on Is passing a kidney stone as a man the real equivalent of a woman giving birth? Where do they register on the pain index/scale?

There is a lot that is more painful than giving birth.

How would I, as a man, know this to be absolutely true?

Because many women, even after the most painful of childbirths possible, go “let’s try for another one!!”

Meanwhile, everyone who has had a kidney stone - or, to be traditional with this metaphor, a man who has been bodily kicked in the nuts - NEVER wants to go through that kind of pain ever again. And invariably not for any kind of benefit, even if it’s millions of dollars of tax-free cash.

You know there’s men that pay money to get bodily kicked in the nuts?

  I know, it’s called marriage. Because it’s followed by divorce, which the great Robin Williams characterized it as “ripping a man’s genitals out through his wallet.”
  
  And yet, men will eagerly climb back into the saddle again to be with another woman.

There are endorphins and other chemicals created by the body during/after childbirth, to essentially make the woman forget about the pain and remember all the good parts.
