Very true Arbiter. My mom was in labour for 6 hours, and said it wasn't that bad, very tolerable. Some other women on the other hand have very painful and hard births. Complications and what not. Depending on the pregnancy itself usually decides how the labor will be.

I knew a hippy chick who was born to make babies. She told me that when it came time to deliver her 2nd kid it was coming out too fast. The doctor wasn't there yet and so the stoopid nurse was trying to hold the baby in by putting her legs together. When the girl finally got her legs open the babe came shootin out and the doctor barely caught the little ******.

Yeah, there are quite a few factors that influence how much pain (if any) a woman will experience during childbirth. Obviously when there are complications it's the worst scenario. One of the big causes is just stress and tension - sadly the anticipation of pain can often be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

actually, there have been studies that show that the amount of pain is about the same. the difference is that women have to endure it for longer

True. Another preventable factor is that modern sedentary bodies are often not "up to snuff."

in that case, women still win.

Women have monthly menstrual cycles, pregnancy, child birth, motherhood, menopause, and then saggy tits.

We have it worse.

But you live longer!

You guys do have it worse, so mass points to you!

However, there's nothing quite liked getting cock-knocked five times over a period of two hours to the point where whenever you touch your boys the next couple of days they're sensitive and painful. Fucking felt like they were up in my chest.

For all the shit we go through, we deserve to live longer,.

I'm glad I don't get the mumflee.

Are you on crack dude?

I will give it to you that there are some women who have less painful births than others, but you cannot say that they are totally painless, and "in their heads".

Have you ever WATCHED a pregnancy? Even watching it is fricken painful.

Hell, in a lot of cases they have to use scissors and physically cut the vagina open, or it just rips open on its own.

Before we had all of this medical advancement, it was common for women to DIE during birth, so wherever you get this idea that it is painless is beyond me.
