You don't HAVE to get kicked in the nuts to make a baby any more than you "have to" kiss your partner. But it's called foreplay and it's pretty common?
Maybe between you and your mom /s

Clearly this man is watching the most vanilla of porns.
They got is nut

I don't gain anything from being kicked in the nuts
Let's test

That's because having a baby gets you a baby. Getting hit in the nuts doesn't suddenly make a baby. I mean, depending on how it happens I guess.
I'd way rather get kicked in the nuts than have a baby to deal with.

There's things I would get kicked in the nuts for. Like another cup size

Isn't that the plot of "Predestination"? If I understood it correctly.
How did I not know there was a movie about a time traveling badass trans guy? That looks fucking awesome.

I do think that in a truly just world, anyone who preaches Quiverful child baring should be kicked in the nuts at least once for every child they claim they want to have.

Yeah people get played by their biological urges and evolutionary psychology throughout the entire process. Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested, and this is theorized to be to prevent the parents from producing another baby in quick succession who takes attention from baby #1.

As someone who has taken care of three newborns, that's not a requirement. If you put the infant on a regular two/three-hour feeding/changing cycle, they don't reflexively cry unless they're in some kind of physical distress.
The trick is to execute that schedule, which is itself extremely exhausting, especially if you're exclusively breast feeding. When you've got two or more people handling feedings (especially with formula) then the baby is chill and parents get more sleep and everyone is much happier.
Also, ffs, this is why both Mom and Dad need maternity leave. The job is 10x harder when one parent is working solo.

Speak for yourself.
We don't

The comments are totally going to be reasonable with this one

women's brains literally give them amnesia regarding the pain of childbirth, so they want another because they aren't traumatized and don't really remember the negative side because it'd be evolutionarily disadvantagous to be averse to procreating
getting kicked in the nuts has so such evolutionary pressure, so male brains don't help out when it happens lol
So wouldn't that mean that child birth is less painful? Because pain receptors and memory are also evolutionary traits?

I know it's supposed to be a joke but this is such a common but braindead take

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I agree with everything you said and I used to think all kids could be fixed by schedules. But our second child was the antithesis to any of these methods. She screamed for almost 2 years regardless of anything we did. I constantly changed our approach to her to try to find a solution and nothing worked for more than a week. She is only recently getting better now that she can understand us.
We are now the parents that discuss our shopping list while she screams on the floor in the grocery store. Some kids are kinda assholes. Fortunately she's extremely cute while being an asshole.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]no? whether the pain is remembered is irrelevant to the feelings in the moment. not remembering the worst of the pain doesn't make that pain more bearable during childbirth

I guess maybe we got lucky, then.
I do know some kids have real legit physical issues (colic being a big one). And if you don't figure out how to mitigate their distress quickly, they simply learn to scream when they want to communicate.
But when I hear "some kids are just assholes", I tend to see some underlying problem (possibly something you just can't do anything about at this stage, but it exists) that they're responding to. It's not standard baby behavior to make parents miserable.

Indeed. Never underestimate humans' desire to fuck.

Isn't that the same with any pain? I mean I can't remember how much it hurt when I broke bones or got hit but I remember it hurt a lot. You do get something out of the birth that is worth the pain (big assumptions everyone feels that way) you do not get anything out of being kicked in the nuts or anywhere else (unless it is a kink).

I don't know how this is relevant but I upvote anyway
