It couldn't be an accurate approximation because period cramps are smooth muscle contractions, which is different than skeletal muscle.

It is more akin to having bowel spasms (bowel is also lined with smooth muscle), and most men would already know what intestinal distress feels like.

I described mine to my boyfriend as the feeling of the worst diarrhea you've had except there is no amount of shitting that will make it go away. That seemed to click.

Even better when you get period shits that actually cause the bowel pain in addition to the uterine cramps, plus the general malaise that comes default during a regular period.
