: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of a new movie called The Orgasmic Birth. In it, the filmmakers discuss the phenomenon of having an orgasm during childbirth - which apparently - is pretty common.
Here's how the NY Times is talking about it:
The message of the film is “that women can journey through labor and birth in all different ways. And there are a lot more options out there, to make this a positive and pleasurable experience,” Pascali-Bonaro tells ABC. “I hope women watching and men watching don’t feel that what we’re saying is every woman should have an orgasmic birth.”Sounds like a load of HORSE DOO DOO to us ... But has any of y'all had this happen????But the title certainly catches attention, referring to what Pascali-Bonaro calls “the best kept secret” of child birth – that some women report having an orgasm as the baby exits the birth canal.
Tamra Larter experienced that while Pascali-Bonaro’s cameras were rolling. She and her husband, Simon, opted to have their second child in their suburban New Jersey home, and through most of the hours of labor the couple was kissing and caressing.
“The phyical touch and nurturing was just really comforting to me,” Larter told ABC. Of the orgasmic birth that resulted she said: “It was happening, and I could hardly breathe, and it was like, ‘oh, that feels good.’ That’s all I could say really.”
@ chitownbaby, you avatar is crazy as hell.
Biologically having an *** during a vaginal birth makes sense as the childs body passes and rubs against the g-spot. HOWEVER.....the pain from that same birth negates any pleasure that would be obtained.
BUT this could explain why some women have 16 and 17 kids....could be the only time they experience an ***.
I had a c-section so I can't say yea or nay!
@sexyrelle: ROTFLMAO!!! Okay?!?!
Your baby is ADORABLE. I swear she looks like my 9 month old -- who looks JUST like my husband. My 4 year old looks like me. Genetics are crazy!
But I DIGRESS: MTO is lame sometimes with this dumb sh*t they post. How is is orgasmic to have a 7-10 pound HUMAN beating the sh*t outta your pelvis and cervix?!? WHEN do you have time to be having an ***? Somebody help me here!
that's sick because ur G spot *** be sitting up nice and pretty enough for no Homer Simpson head shaped baby to be gliding against it. Damnnn it take a lot of shaking and rubbing and pulling and tuggin (LOL) to get me to have an *** and I know it won't be from a baby ripping me from *** to sh!t. That's right little hot in the @ss girls. Be scared, things won't be the same once the volcano erupts. You'll have to undergo massive reconstructive surgery and kegel to be the same. No *** squirting, just blood gooshing and spewing everywhere. Thanks Love, LYK_CAN_D
I swear 98% of the people blogging DON'T READ. Nowhere did it say the woman trying to have an *** during birth, it happened.
It's not as common as MTO makes it seem but it does happen. The g-spot is in direct contact with the kid as you're crowning. Think about that versus the pressure of a finger(s) or *** against the g-spot.
Hello MTO, I am here to answer your question. I am mother of two lovely boys, they are three years apart. My wonderful husband was there for both births; he was loving, comforting and consume by every moment and while I found his presence to be very sweet. Having any orgasmic reaction was the farthest thing from my mind, all I wanted was for my baby to get the hell out so the pain could stop so I'm not to sure what in the world she is talking about (just my opinion). Like you I too believe it's a load of "HORSE DOO DOO".
I wouldn't exactly call it the big "O", maybe just a little "Oooh" between the VERY BIG OWWWWWWS! LOL! For me it came (lol) with the pushing. Having twins is no picnic and I was ready to *** them jokers across the room. My contractions were SO bad that when I pushed it felt GREAT...then they told me "don't push" and the rest is a drug induced BLUR....ahhh the blur. Whatever it was, it wasn't good enough to make me have anymore EVER.
@NVDdark1- LOL I know I'm going to hell for this... "she must be into that bizarre *** ***, *** *** out her ***. Thats 8 pounds smashin thru a donut hole, not too orgasmic soundin"
You know what's REALLY not orgasmic? When these brothers out here acting like they got a football between their legs and want to bang a woman's uterus into her rib cage! If it don't look good coming out it's twice as bad going in! LOL PLEASE tell "ya cousins" that foolishness is the biggest "O-killer" on the planet. If I want to be roughed off I don't ' go to the zoo...leave the gorillas in the jungle.
I'm nine months pregnant and in doing research on different birthing methods I actually found that SOME women, and very few at that, do actually have a *** of "***" during childbirth. Now, from what I read it's not an all out "oh yes!!! OMG!!!" type of thing. But it's a pleasurable feeling as the baby is leaving the vag...they said that it's possible only if and when the mother is truly relaxed and not so focused on the pain of the childbirth itself, along with breathing. The women that experienced it were also said to not have been medicated at the time either.
To the ones that think the women that experience *** during childbirth are skanks, or that they were thinking about a nut, it's not like that. It's all pain and it happens without you trying. All i know is that after all the screaming in pain and the second push, my 'parts' were pulsing the exact same way as when i climax. Hey, it was weird to me too, but i know what an *** feels like and that was it.
Peace.
@vigyal75-I'm not saying that it is disgusting if it happens naturally. If it happens, it happens. But the article specifically stated that the couple they interviewed decided to have their second child at home and spend the entire later "kissing" and "caressing". So, it didn't happen naturally for her. It happened for her through stimulation from her husband. THAT'S what I think is so disgusting. Basically, they are sexualizing child birth. But, I'm not surprised. Nothing is sacred anymore.

OK. I'll try to keep this brief but I already know it's going to be long. Like most, I'm a voyeur most of the time on this site. Being that I'm a midwife, I had to add my two cents to this story.
1. There's nothing dirty, stank, sacriledge, or sinful about a woman having an orgasmic birth. The *** is really about having better birth experiences and outcomes (which studies show homebirth is just as safe as hospital births.) Women can have involuntary *** during birth. I've seen it.

2. The same thing that gets the baby in, can get the baby out. Physiologically, the same hormones that are released in *** are released during birth (natural birth anyway) -- endorphins, oxytocin, adrenaline.

3. Having a good, pleasurable birth experience is not something that should be restricted to white women. WE HAVE TO STOP THINKING THIS WAY IF WE'RE TO HEAL OUR COMMUNITIES. IT BEGINS WITH MOTHERS & HELPING THEM TO HAVE GOOD BIRTHS.
4. Women can have a good birth experience when they decide they want one, prepare properly for it, and have skilled support through the process whether that be from a doula, midwife, mate, family member, friend, doc, etc.
Consider this, birth as it's practiced in many hospitals is VIOLENT, esp. when it comes to cesareans. Unless it's truly medically necessary, which is a small percentage of the time, it's like breaking a butterfly out of a cocoon...Google that if you're not sure what happens. In the case of humans, it manifest in the way that are children are psychologically imprinted.

Imagine what our (Black) communities would be like if we truly upheld birth as the sacred event that it is. If we took more time to learn positive parenting skills. I know that it's the beginning in healing our communities.

Black women and babies die more than any other group. This is something that I'm very passionate about so forgive my long post. If I can get one person to think a little different about birth, it was worth my time.

Make informed opinions people. Don't read the worst book ever on birth "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Try "The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth" by Henci Goer, "Spiritual Midwifery" by Ina May Gaskin, or "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper.
A peaceful Earth...peaceful, productive communities...begin with birth.
