I'm guessing the ratio might be wildly different.

I’ve seen a video of a guy putting his nuts between 2 glass plates held together but 4 screws, 1 in each corner. The women proceeded to tighten the screws with a ratchet until the guys nuts were basically blue and he had to tap out.

Don’t ask me why I watched the whole thing.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

But, why did you watch the whole thing?

women's brains literally give them amnesia regarding the pain of childbirth, so they want another because they aren't traumatized and don't really remember the negative side because it'd be evolutionarily disadvantagous to be averse to procreating

getting kicked in the nuts has so such evolutionary pressure, so male brains don't help out when it happens lol

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah people get played by their biological urges and evolutionary psychology throughout the entire process. Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested, and this is theorized to be to prevent the parents from producing another baby in quick succession who takes attention from baby #1.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested

As someone who has taken care of three newborns, that's not a requirement. If you put the infant on a regular two/three-hour feeding/changing cycle, they don't reflexively cry unless they're in some kind of physical distress.

The trick is to execute that schedule, which is itself extremely exhausting, especially if you're exclusively breast feeding. When you've got two or more people handling feedings (especially with formula) then the baby is chill and parents get more sleep and everyone is much happier.

Also, ffs, this is why both Mom and Dad need maternity leave. The job is 10x harder when one parent is working solo.

[–] pahlimur@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I agree with everything you said and I used to think all kids could be fixed by schedules. But our second child was the antithesis to any of these methods. She screamed for almost 2 years regardless of anything we did. I constantly changed our approach to her to try to find a solution and nothing worked for more than a week. She is only recently getting better now that she can understand us.

We are now the parents that discuss our shopping list while she screams on the floor in the grocery store. Some kids are kinda assholes. Fortunately she's extremely cute while being an asshole.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I guess maybe we got lucky, then.

I do know some kids have real legit physical issues (colic being a big one). And if you don't figure out how to mitigate their distress quickly, they simply learn to scream when they want to communicate.

But when I hear "some kids are just assholes", I tend to see some underlying problem (possibly something you just can't do anything about at this stage, but it exists) that they're responding to. It's not standard baby behavior to make parents miserable.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You sound like my brother after his first, who was a saint of a child.....the second however.....great kid but "not a sleeper" as they say.

None of my kids slept through until they were 3....10 years of broken sleep

Just entertaining the thought here -getting kicked in the nuts might be even more evolutionarily disadvantageous, which could help explain the absolutely ridiculous sensitivity. Then again, I'm not a biologist

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.

Because you don't gain anything from being kicked in the nuts.

[–] Outsider9042@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 16 hours ago

Yep. If you had to go through excruciating pain just to nut. You’d gladly take a kick or two.

That's because having a baby gets you a baby. Getting hit in the nuts doesn't suddenly make a baby. I mean, depending on how it happens I guess.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago

So one is painful for a few minutes, the other gives you a long lasting debuff. That's really not helping your case.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

You don't HAVE to get kicked in the nuts to make a baby any more than you "have to" kiss your partner. But it's called foreplay and it's pretty common?

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.

[–] suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 8 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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)

[–] rat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago

imagine that lingering post testicle injury pain

yeah, that's not really helpful for me :/

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 106 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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!

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 21 points 1 day ago

To be fair there are men who are into ball busting. They would actually legit be asking to be hit in the nuts again.

[–] Flickerby@lemm.ee 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

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
