In a hilarious experiment that puts traditional gender roles to the test, a college student finds himself buckling under the pressure of a labor pain simulator, proving just how tough women really are when it comes to childbirth.
It’s often joked that if men had to give birth, the human race would be extinct—this video of one man crumbling in mere moments is a testament to that theory. Meet Alex, a brave soul from Pine Valley University in Tennessee, who stepped up to experience the excruciating sensations of labor through a simulator. Spoiler alert: he clearly wasn’t prepared for what he signed up for.
“Go to level 10, no matter what!” he confidently declares, blissfully unaware of the turmoil he’s about to unleash on himself. As his friends encourage him to endure, it quickly becomes apparent that he’s not cut out for the challenge. Just seconds in, his resolve shatters, and he screams “watermelon!”—his chosen safe word—before he even comes close to the finish line.
If only real labor could be paused with a simple safe word! In reality, shouting “epidural!” or “let’s get this baby out before I lose my mind!” is often more like it.
Alex’s howls of despair are both amusing and relatable for women everywhere. Even those who haven’t experienced childbirth firsthand (thank you, planned c-sections!) can empathize with the monthly torment of period cramps. Most men would likely struggle to endure a week of the discomfort we routinely handle, let alone the daunting pain of giving birth. Not that we actually wish it upon them—well, maybe just a tiny bit!
The best part of this entire spectacle? The laughter from the female students in the audience. Their giggles resonate with a mix of validation and sweet revenge. After all, what woman who has gone through labor hasn’t daydreamed about watching her partner squirm through a 24-hour delivery?
While this isn’t the first time viewers have enjoyed watching a guy squirm under labor simulator pressure, these clips never lose their charm. Keep them coming, gentlemen! If we have to navigate the real pain, we deserve a good chuckle at your expense.

In summary, Alex’s brief encounter with a labor pain simulator hilariously highlights the differences in pain tolerance between genders. His dramatic reactions and the laughter from women around him make this video both entertaining and relatable.
