The local loon when we were kids was called mental daz. He was renowned locally, as he once hurdled a wooden fence with barbed wire wearing shorts and ripped his sack open......
That's the idea. TurboGirl's the expert so we'll need her opinion but it looks to me as though there'd be enough hair to try 4 or 5 different techniques. We have the Veet, fire and flint so far. Any idea for 2 more?
Huon, some culture use rolling twine to remove hairs, very similar to what happens when making twine on your leg. So we could have Veet, fire, flint and twine removal and creation all in one demo. I also recon pine resin spread onto hairy skin, then some fine cotton strips applies would act like waxing and would add extra insulation to the fabric with the hair and the "Sub-zero Crew" could make some cold weather gear out of it. John will become a teaching legend like Larrs and Ray after this, he cant turn it down.
I'm sorry, lifes too short for a woman who has done all her birthing and doesn't have daughters... think I'll stick with my Cider with Rosie
So she proves that being upright hasn't affected the ease of birth and that our cultures influences on birth (maternal obesity, lowered pain threasholds etc) isn't undermining our choices to have children naturally? Amazing
Being honest the only births I've helped in are sheep, goats, cattle and horses. Sheep seem to have it easiest - but then I don't really connect with sheep so it's more of a job, goats I like a lot but they seem to get on OK, cows make a lot of noise and it can be hard going - for everyone concerned they're just huge and heavy. And everyone is always very precious about the horses - but the foals are cute. C section on a cow is not a fun night though.
It strikes me that we're going a little off topic with the childbirth posts and the BS&C posts. This is very discourteous to the OP and we need to move this thread back on topic ASAP. Personally I think the obvious way to do this would be to introduce some testicle de-torsioning into the BS&C exercises. That way we can follow forum etiquette and increase the educational value of John's suffering... I mean demonstration.
Do we have to pre-torsion him first? and how? We could have a nice pagan pink spork Maypole for him to dance around. Get everyone to bring cordage, wrap it around his waist then pull quickly while he's standing on some slippy bluebells. Get some eagles talons and hang him up like in the film "A Man Called Horse" then twist him 'round. Again all working towards this Fenna smorgasbord of learning.

This is so not going to happen......
There was Mesquites video of the 2 lads recieving an hours worth of simulated contractions, being motor traders we often get old batteries that are still good for a few volts and I have jump leads for crocodile clips?? We're on it, John, doncha worry... If we could introduce childbirth into that mix then we could keep everyone happy......

Interesting stuff in your post, Swallow I didn't believe in the ability to leave childbed so quickly until I had a situation in stage 2 labour where I had to jump off the bed and would have been out the window if the nurses hadn't held on hard So I'm a big believer in that one! And pleasure in birth... yeah, for sure, though I heard one poor deluded geezer refering to it in the pub as 'a womans ultimate orgasm' which pretty well ended HIS love life
Stage 1 labour, where the contractions are pulling the cervix back to dilate it, was the painful bit but I'm lucky, despite being attacked on my hospital delivery bed first time and forgotton in the ward store cupboard for the second one, it was ok Should have stuck to my guns and insisted on home births though.
