andrewrockford 300x220 Can He Handle the Pain? TV Host Goes Through Simulated ChildbirthDr. Andrew Rochford, an Australian TV host, set out to find out once and for all: who has a higher pain threshold–men or women?

To get to the bottom of the long-time debate, he agreed to go through simulated childbirth at a hospital.  Using a device that stimulates the abdominal muscles to replicate labor, Rochford endured hours of contractions that progressed just as a woman going through actual labor does.

Can he handle it? Watch and find out:

    I would love for our husbands not just to try this one but do the real childbirth so they can totally relate to the pain! Unfortunately, that is an impossibility.

      Have you ever heard of kidney stones? They hurt MORE then childbirth in most cases and men get those 4x more then women, looks like men experience it even worse, I’d LOVE to see a woman push out a stone the size of a marble through a hole the size of a coffee straw. Birth isn’t NEARLY the most painful thing out there, but you women always make it out to be. You’re so insecure with yourselves. Get a grip!

    I think they need to add the pregnancy belly as well. He had to much mobility.
