For a bizarre, uncomfortable approach to this Dutch blog today's post is about the pain of childbirth. In the news a few months past, were the Dutch duo Dennis Storm and Valerio Zena. This daring duo decide to take on strange and mainly painful tasks which are then shown on their live TV show "Proefkonijnen", in the past the pair cooked and ate each others' flesh...oh boy. This time they decided to take on the "worst pain there is", and therefore they subjected themselves to simulated labor. One of the men asked one of the nurses, who were there for breathing exercises and gas masks, if the pain would make them scream?
She calmly answered, "yes, it definitely will." And so began the pain as the nurses cranked the electrodes that were placed on key muscles of their abdomens in order to mimic birth.
The two were writhing in agony within minutes. Screaming...check, crying...check. The agony was cut short as the two finished their experience after only 2 hours of what Zena called, "torture". They said they now understand why women swear during childbirth. They now also wonder if they can ever have children again. The video is online for your viewing pleasure.
