    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.

      So one is painful for a few minutes, the other gives you a long lasting debuff. That’s really not helping your case.

          You don’t need to understand that. You only need to understand that it is a desirable outcome for people who say they want another baby, not why.

              People do risky/painful things all the time if they want what’s on the other side. In fact it’s kinda the whole thing with the “to be is to suffer” vibe.
