I get upset if I have a physical and my favorite underwear isn't clean. If doctors are going to invade my privacy, I might as well look good while it's going on.

Am I the only one that has a mortal fear that I will get a hard on during one of those physicals?

Haha I have more of a mortal hope that I'm going to get a hottt nurse one day.

I've gotten one during physicals. My doctor's attractive.

I don't have the hard-on fear because I don't have the body parts necessary for it. Hallelujah for being female.

We may have external plumbing, but we have an enormous advantage when it comes to nasty school/public restrooms.

And we can spontaneously cahnge by on average 2-3 times our side with a flick of thought.


Then again, girls do get to have the babies...so really, guys lose.

Wait, why would having babies be considered a plus?
Silly.

Babies are not a plus. Babies are pain when they're being born. Pure pain. After they've been born, they're pure joy. But the father can enjoy that part. The father can't suffer the pain for the mother.

The fact that you don't understand why babies are good just goes to the problem with society.


You do realize in a society where we prove everything through science, everything can be accomplished through technology, that the ability to give birth is the last miracle that exists for humans? Creating life inside your body without any help required in most circumstances.

PLUS, having birth increases your pain tolerance like whoa, stuff guys have to get into countless fights to get close to, you probably have a closer connection to the joy as it came from you and he's just sort of a collaborator.

MOREOVER, being a father cuts our sex drive to almost zero so that we stop our risky behaviors and don't go procreate with everything animate object. WE LOSE OUR SEX DRIVE.

now who wins?

Umm...don't want to sound obnoxious, but don't the statements of the above poster seem a little contradictory?

First he (I apologize if the poster is female, but I'm working off the diction in the last paragraph) wants to know how others can be negative about childbirth, but then cites its negative effect on the father.

And I don't think that anyone is having problems understanding why babies are good. We were all babies once, so I hope everyone appreciates babys for what they are. But I would guess that there are times, during the multiple hours of labor andthe painful delivery (that is assuming you are doing it the old-fashioned way, without drugs), that a woman wonders why in the hell she ever decided to have a child. I absolutely believe that the years of joy and love that follow are more than worth it, but in those first few hours, I think that I might regret for an instant or two that I decided to have a baby.

Alas, but I will never truly know whether that regret would surface, seeing as I'm a male and not capable of the miracle of conception.

With that said, I'd like to share an analogy I once heard about childbirth (not at all related to my first mini-rant):

"It's like trying to squeeze something the size of a watermelon out a hole the size of a lemon."

Sorry, just thought that was really funny and appropriate at the same time.

"The father can't suffer the pain for the mother."

Another interesting anecdote: Did you know that in Ireland, for every hour of labor a woman goes through, the doctors add weight equalling approximately 1 stone (ie. about 20 lbs.) to a sack around the father's neck?

Don't know if they do that anymore, but I once read about that particular method of letting the father experience the pain along with his wife.

I was saying that girls get the better part of the stick when it comes to babies. People cited pain, I cited men losing their sex drive.

Not very contradictory.


PLUS, vagina's are made to expand, so it's really like squeezing a watermelon out of a lemon that can expand to the size of a watermelon.

I think you guys all forgot about the nine months of pregnancy.
A few hours of discomfort? Right.

umm, guys. seriously. UNDERWEAR. not babies.

this relates to both babies and underwear:
having your period sucks! you spend almost 25% or your life bleeding on things, then you have to go through labor.

about that expanding vagina thing:
sometimes it doesn't expand enough and they have to cut it to make it bigger. eww.

about the sex drive thing:
i'm pretty sure women lose a lot of their sex drive after menopause. which sucks anyway. hot flashes = no fun.
