Apparently, in the Huichol tribe of Mexico, the presence of the baby's father [during labour] may be required so that a string can be tied round his testicles on which the woman can pull as each contraction mounts to a peak of pain. (from 'Rediscovering Birth' by Sheila Kitzinger).
...I presume they're referring to silly string you get from a party shop?
