check out Laura Shanley's website about orgasmic birth, you'll love it! Even if you can't believe it now. Those who are experiencing orgasmic births are of course not birthing in a hospital. They are either completely alone or with their husband (no midwife present either). Childbirth was never meant to be painful nor dangerous. It is hospital settings and the slightest interference in normal, healthy women that turns the event into a dangerous and painful experience for the woman. Childbirth is a highly private and inherently safe experience for an adult, healthy woman. And no, I don't see having an orgasm while giving birth as incestuous. I think that claim is rather ridiculous. If you think it's disgusting for the kid when he or she will be older to know about that, then I guess you don't need to tell them either how they were conceived? Or never have sex during pregnancy either?

Childbirth IS a sexual experience, that's why it doesn't belong in the hospital, which I consider to be RAPE. The baby is made through sex and it comes out of the sexual organs of a woman. Logically the experience is sexual as well, but it's kind of difficult to relax and enjoy that event with a white coat standing in between your legs, don't you think?

I have yet to see this documentary but I'm looking forward to it–because I'm interested in different forms of childbirth as an alternative to the medicalized version. Though I've never given birth–and to tell you the truth–this concept seems a bit odd and unbelievable to me, I don't think that it's impossible. Why shoot down an idea that may help alleviate the so-called traumatic birthing process? There are other things that I've never experienced and feel like I can't; say, tantric sex (orgasms for hours?! sheesh!), female ejaculation, g-spot stimulation, and heck, even transcendental yoga/meditation. But I know the mind is a powerful thing, and everyone's mind is different. I know for a fact there are women who experience pleasure so intensely from oral sex– but I don't. That doesn't mean that it's impossible for me to ever achieve orgasm from that. I know it may seem like I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but really, even though it seems like an extraordinary leap (and kind of "new age-y") to think of the birthing process in this way, I don't think that we should scoff at it. The whole point of the documentary is that the way we think about birth is so fucked up–in every example, women are screaming, frightened, and in tremendous pain. We are taught that childbirth is a scary thing. And the medical profession treats it like an illness. Surely there are women who have long and intense and painful labor but there are also women who have short and uncomplicated labor. Why not celebrate the fact that there are other mind/body levels of consciousness and that they can possibly be applied to the most incredible, basic, natural process in the world?

It's gross because then whenever you see your kid, you're gonna know that it felt "orgasmic" when you had it….That's disgusting to me.

haha well i have never given birth or been pregnant. But I have a cousin who is due any day now, a friend who gave birth in June. My friend said it was the most painful thing she had ever drempt of. My mother gave birth to my brother all natural and swore she would never do it again she said it hurt extreamly bad! And she wasn't kissing my dad, more like hittin him and cussin him out! When I was born she was majorly drugged and didn't feel a thing. But all the women I know thought that report was bull! And so do I!

I never heard that but I do know that to ontrol labor pains that foreplay works well. I firt heard of it back in 1996. It is old news but rarely talked about. (It takes your mind off the labor pains). Me, I slept through my labor pains. I had meds pumped into my iv like every hours.. My daughter the nurse told me to go natural it doesn’t hurt the second time. *IT DOES* I wanted her to come back in my room I wanted to hit her soooo bad…

Is it wrong I find this article so amusing. I think with a different title and a little editing, it could have been featured on [u]The Onion[/u].

Thanks for the lulz in the comments.

Jeez, will everyone lay off the author here! She's just writing an interesting story here and all you bitches have to say is, "Grow up." And to that, I say, "Shut the F%#$ up, please."

Anyway, back to the story…

That woman is a liar. I have also never given birth but she probably is just a TV whore that would say anything to get her own 15 minutes.

Orgasmic childbirth isn't gross at all. It's not like the woman is getting off to the baby coming down the tube. It's just a feeling that she finds enjoyable.

It's like say you get off to rubbing your self because you like your hand, it's sexy. No, not at all. It's the feeling.
