Sex education often struggles to capture the attention of young people—teens are typically too shy to engage, and educators can feel uncomfortable discussing sensitive topics. So how can we effectively impress upon teenagers the realities of parenting when they are navigating their own hormonal chaos and still developing their decision-making abilities?
Perhaps introducing them to the five-part series from BuzzFeed featuring the Try Guys, where they dive into the world of motherhood, would be a good approach. In this amusing series, the men tackle experiences like wearing a heavy, 20-pound pregnancy belly, handling messy diapers, and dealing with a demanding robotic baby that cries at all hours.
However, the most memorable and cringe-worthy segment is undoubtedly when they undergo labor pain simulations—a segment that stands out amidst the others. The four brave individuals were hooked up to a device that mimicked muscle contractions, allowing them to experience sensations akin to those of actual labor. Spoiler alert: it was excruciating.
Electrodes were placed on various parts of their bodies, including their stomachs, backs, and well, let’s say, more sensitive areas. They also endured some graphic discussions about the birthing process and C-sections, which seemed to unsettle them almost as much as the pain simulation itself.
During the simulation, all of them resorted to the safe word “epidural” to halt the process—honestly, I might have done the same! They were fortunate not to find out that the anesthesiologist was preoccupied with an emergency C-section, which is a reality I faced.
At the conclusion of the video, one participant gazes wide-eyed at the camera and asserts, “Your mom is the toughest person in the universe. It doesn’t matter who you are—your mom is tougher than you.” They even take a moment to express gratitude to their mothers. So even if this experience doesn’t scare teens into taking birth control seriously, at least it might foster a newfound appreciation for their mothers. It’s truly a win-win.

In summary, the Try Guys’ humorous yet eye-opening series on motherhood highlights the challenges of parenting while providing a unique opportunity for young viewers to understand the complexities of labor. They might not leave the experience terrified, but they certainly walk away with a greater appreciation for their mothers’ strength.
