Labor Pain Simulator

The video, which has been shared on YouTube and watched more than four million times, sees Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno, hosts of the Dutch TV show Guinea Pigs, crying in pain during the fake labour.

Women have long bemoaned the fact that men could never understand the agony that they go through during giving birth – and despite its obvious imperfections, the electro-simulation seems to be able to give the men a little bit of insight.

Both of them had four electrodes strapped to their abdomens and during a two hour time period were administered by two women electrical shocks in order to create the same types of pain as pregnant women feel during contractions.

The men seem to take it in their stride at first – laughing and joking about. However, their laughter soon turns to tears – as they are comforted by the women carrying out the experiment and advised to ‘breathe’ and ‘focus on something else in the room’.
