“Baby, I’m hurting”
“Where??”
“I got really bad cramps”
“Hmmmmm, like where abouts?”
*Goes into tears*
“I can’t help you if you don’t tell me”
“Can we just sit down for a second”

We sat down and rested for a bit as the pain had increased and she could no longer endure the short walk home.  The pain had gotten so intense that she could not even get up and reverted to a baby like state.  I suggested that perhaps she shouldn’t walk anymore and I would carry her home.  Later on I found out that she had gone to the doctors and had been given medication for the pain.  I never understood of how severe period cramps were, and so intrigued, I asked my female colleagues at work of what would be the male equivalent experience.  After a much debated conversation, they had all agreed that the closest I would feel to it, would be like getting kicked or hit in the groin area.  At which, to my dismay, cringed at the thought and thanked my lucky stars that in this lifetime, I would not have to go through with that.
