Watch: Men Undergo Simulated Labor Contractions to See What Childbirth Feels Like
Two Dutch television hosts wanted to find out for themselves what women go through when they give birth. This is the result of their experiment.
Dutch television hosts Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno will go to extreme measures to drum up viewership for their show “Guinea Pigs,” even going so far as to taste each other’s flesh in front of a live audience.

The pair were hooked up to an electro-simulator that mimicked the pain associated with contractions.
Watch below to see how the men fared.
