Let's say you agreed to do this... you would have to mestrate for one full year before getting pregnant.

If I have to menstrate for one full year I think I will do fine. based on my research... asking my wife. The pill helps remove a lot of the pain that goes along with cramps that menstration brings... and I would definately be on the pill, cause I don't want to get knocked up by one of you insenstive women... :)

Interesting question. I honistly can't say either way, but I am thankful that God made me a man and not a woman, I greatly respect what you ladies have to go through. With all the pain, one thing good about being pregnant is the feeling of having life inside of you, so I've been told, men could never know what that feels like either.

I would have to agree that feeling them grow inside of you is a great advantage. I think it also bonds the mother to the baby which is an advantage that my husband never got.
As much as I disliked being pregnant, I'm not sure that I would be willing to give it up so that my husband could get pregnant.

An interesting hypothesis and a fun discussion.
Personally, I am SO thankful that I am a woman. I believe (as I'm sure you do) that being a mother is the greatest privilege of being a woman. I wanted seven sons but only managed five, and I think at 70 it's too late to expect the other two. I enjoyed every minute of pregnancy and hardly had a day's sickness. I had easy births, even though the babies ranged from 10 lbs 8 ozs to 13 lbs, so I can't complain about any of it.
I guess what I'm saying is that even if my husband wanted to have a baby (which he wouldn't want anyway) I wouldn't LET him. That's MY job!
Women are women and men are men and long live the difference!!!

Just as I expected! Though it would be nice if you would elaborate a little!

I think my husband would be pretty good through the pregnancy. Physically he would be able to handle it before me and emotionally but I think I am softened him up a bit since we have been together and gotten married. He shows his feelings to me now all the time and we talk and tell each other everything. He never would show his feelings or if he was in pain or had heartburn he would just suck it up and I baby him when he gets home he gets back rubs, feet rubs, dinner ready, anything he wants. He works hard for us so I do things for him but if I was the one working I think he would be able to handle it he is a very strong minded person, and emotionally can handle a lot he dealt with me with my pregnancy so I think he would be able to do it.
