Watch Some Dudes Witness the Miracle of Childbirth for the First Time

Childbirth is one messy, horrible, beautiful, painful, awe-inspiring, bodily fluid geyser of a shitshow. As a twenty-something with no intention of starting a family anytime soon, it absolutely terrifies me. So let’s watch some dudes watch some childbirth so I can feel better about my own fears regarding the miracle that is giving birth to a baby.

I never know how I feel about the practice of putting dudes through the pain that is simply part of life as a female and filming it. Whether it’s seeing how they respond to seeing a woman give birth to a child or watching undergo them a simulation of labor pains, it’s certainly entertaining to see a reaction to something so foreign and so human (and so very painful). But it’s not exactly gratifying. Then again, isn’t it always endearing to watch someone’s mind get blown?
