Sex education often gets a bad rap: kids can be too shy to engage, while sometimes the educators are just as uncomfortable. So, how can we effectively communicate the realities of parenting to teens navigating their own tumultuous hormonal changes? One entertaining approach might be to share the BuzzFeed series featuring the Try Guys, where they dive into the challenges of parenthood.
In a five-part series exploring motherhood, these guys don hefty 20-pound pregnancy bellies, tackle diaper changes, and even endure sleepless nights with a fussy robot baby. However, the standout moment occurs when they bravely undergo labor pain simulations—a segment that’s both cringe-worthy and laugh-out-loud funny.
Strapped to machines that simulate muscle contractions, each of the four men experiences sensations akin to labor pain. Spoiler alert: they quickly discover it’s no walk in the park. Electrodes were placed on various parts of their bodies, including their abdomen and back. As they braced themselves through explicit explanations of labor and C-sections, fear set in—almost as intense as the pain they were feeling.
Using a safe word, “epidural,” they called for mercy, which, I admit, I would’ve done too! Luckily for them, they weren’t informed that their anesthesiologist was tied up with an emergency C-section, a scenario I can personally relate to.
At the end of this eye-opening experience, one of the guys turns to the camera, visibly astonished, and declares, “Your mom is the toughest person in the universe. No matter who you are, your mom is tougher than you.” They then express their gratitude to their mothers, which, while not a bad takeaway, might not be enough to convince teens to take birth control seriously. Still, a little appreciation for mom is a step in the right direction.
