Orgasmic Birth

[sensualGoddess]

I am now surprised that this hasn't been a covered subject on this site. But what do you think about it? Is it entirely possible that birth can be an ecstatic and orgasmic experience?

This site has always been a point of reference for me but I only recently joined this as an actual member, so it does shock me a bit that this has not been fully explored as a topic of interest.

It might be just me, but if it takes a night of passion and pleasure (assuming by the way, I know this isn't the case with some) then birth should kinda follow into a similar pattern.

But seriously, any ideas, thoughts or opinions on this topic?

Shocks you? A bit very over reactive. There are women, in life and in literature, who describe giving birth as the ultimate sexual experience - and it obviously is. Perhaps in the modern world we have made such a natural event so technical that the pleasure and the otherworldly have been obliterated by technology and medical concern.

Lol, it's not shocking to me that it's possible, the first time I discovered this was on a website for unassisted childbirth back in 2004 0r 2005, either way I was in my mid teens when I first discovered this, but I'm just surprised that it hasn't been a discussion on this site itself.

20/20 did a story on orgasmic birth and I for one, would love for this to happen to me. Birth is an extension of a sexual union...so why not let it be a natural process? Why not continue that sexual union?

Makes sense. The man is done and we continue for nine more months. We deserve a bigger payoff.

I thought that one would be in too much extreme pain for for it to be orgasmic.

I wish EEK would make a comment on this page. But here's what I think. (By the way, take it with a grain of salt because I'm a 20 year virgin college student only now starting to get into the dating game) So, what do I know?

But if I'm correct...it really depends on the mindset of a person. I HEAVILY HEAVILY believe in the beautiful power of the mind. The reason why birth is painful is because society makes it so. Think about it...in all birthing scenes the mother is screaming...as in screaming "DRUGS!!! DRUGS!!! I NEED DRUGS" or "GET THIS BABY OUTTA ME!!!".

We tend to be influenced a lot by what society says...keep this in mind. So why can't it be possible that birth can be pleasurable??

Let's make comparisons to sex and birth...shall we?

Sex- there are so many positions to which this can occur (I don't need to explain it since the positions are on this website)

Birth- believe it or not, the birthing position we have grown accustomed (women on their backs, with their legs spread wide) is not the only birthing position that there is. Actually, I don't really see the logic in which this position is beneficial for the baby to come down the birthing canal. Women can squat, be on all fours...etc (the latter of which I would find birth to be a little bit more erotic)

Sex- a penis goes in
Birth-a baby comes out

In most cases the vagina is meant to stretch to accommodate whatever comes in or out

Furthermore for those who believe in the G-spot, understand that when the baby comes down the birth canal...there will be pressure, much like when a penis goes in the vagina, there is pressure.

Now if there was anyway to channel the mind into thinking that the pressure you feel can be pleasurable enough to make you come during the birthing process, that would definitely be a plus.

Oxytocin
Sex-is released upon orgasm, it can also be released during breast stimulation
Birth-oxytocin starts the birthing process

so yeah, if it's going to be painful, you might as well take the orgasm as the jump start.

Speaking of which, an orgasm is about 33 times stronger than an anesthesia...but I may need to get more solid facts on that.

So, here's my logic...if it took a lovemaking session to make a baby, I sure as hell would love another lovemaking session to be the reminder and the reason why the baby is in our lives.


If you don't take my word for it, this was the site that made me a believer and a firm advocate for women being able to take back their bodies during pregnancy all the way up to birth.

If you get the chance, read the birth stories, some of it is pure birth erotica...

Orgasmic Childbirth


Furthermore, there's definitely a movement about women being more educated and being able to make their births as natural as possible. Let's not remove the extension of sexuality that occurs during pregnancy because essentially...pregnancy is just that...the extension of sexuality. It sure isn't an end to it

This is my first time hearing about this. But interesting concept. I would think that someone would be in too much pain for it to be orgasmic. But I haven't had a child yet so I could be wrong. But i know when I have cramps I don't want to think about sex or cumming. Thanks for the info. I'm gonna look further into this.

Well pain in labor tends to increase from the first contraction. Assuming that this is the case, one would have to have some kind of focal point to manage through the pain.

I do cramp during my period...sometimes it hurts more than other times...I don't like to swallow meds. I just reach for the vibrator, have my orgasm, and then the pain goes away on its own. And of course, the vibrator is washed and sterilized for later usage...

It's not my website but this explains more on this phenomenon. One of the stories that I read is extremely intriguing and should be studied more often

For now I will place the link, for anyone who decides to read.

I have read the same website about a year ago. I think the concept of orgasmic birth is fantastic! And I consider it very possible Even tried buying the DVD actually, but couldn't from here... I heard the word 'orgasmic birth' for the first time in a short-film of Jaiya. Her website is not as well structured as I'd like it to be, but there's a lot of information on it about sex: New World Sex Education. The beautiful thing is; she was told as a teenagers she wouldn't be able to have children. Now she has a son. And she has put all her learning and wisdom into pregnancy as well. I think she also has a radio-show in the US. The short-films I was talking about are most easily found on the Liberator-pages (pleasing the pregnant women, etc)

And looky what I found out about: there's a paperback coming up, to be released june 8, 2010 in ths US. "Orgasmic Birth: Your Guide to a Safe, Satisfying, and Pleasurable Birth Experience" by Elizabeth Davis and Debra Pascali-Bonaro. This might have some good info...

About Oxytocin: I've got a great book about all the benefits you get from this beautiful cuddle-hormon: "The Oxytocin Factor: Tapping the Hormone of Calm, Love, and Healing" It is written by Kerstin Uvnas Moberg; an MD&PhD from Sweden who combined all kinds of research into meaningful and understandable information. Her goal is to emphasize the 'good side' of our system. Instead of research always looking for what hormones cause you to experience stress and fight-flee-respons, she looks into what can help people relax and heal themselves. Our bodies are so beautifully capable of such things It's not about orgasmic birth, does consider birth/breastfeeding/love/bonding/intimacy/the healing power of touch/etc, so I would highly recommend it. Anyways, better read it yourselves, I'm not your best translator
