There are lots of YouTube videos of men trying out “period cramp simulator” and “pregnancy contraction” machines. They can’t believe it, first of all, and they can’t bear it either. They get to about 5, start to scream, and then they see that the woman they’re with also has it at 5, and is sitting there calmly. Some guys who experienced it turned up to 10, saw the woman they’re with try it at 10, and confirm that it’s accurate but only a part of the experience (the machine doesn’t simulate bloating, hormonal rollercoasters, migraines, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting from the pain, feeling like you’re getting hit with anvils from your shoulders to your knees, weird food cravings, feeling like you’re dragging a semi truck, wonderful surprises in your pants, etc., etc.) and say to the woman: “How do you go through this every month??” He’s absolutely incredulous. She says calmly: “I don’t have a choice.” Hook little Dylan Mulvaney up to a period cramp simulator for a week and see how he does.
