A Situation You Would Never Expect
Who Would Have Guessed It
Do a top ten list of situations where you would expect a screaming orgasm. You might expect one on a date with a partner you’ve wanted to experience for a long time. You might expect to have one with your favorite rabbit. You might even expect one with an intense masturbation fantasy.
But we have one you probably wouldn’t have guessed. From the Times of London:
“Orgasm and childbirth are not two words you expect to find in the same sentence. But, as implausible as it may sound, increasing numbers of mothers are signing up to the Orgasmic Birth movement. Childbirth, they claim, far from being a painful ordeal to endure, can be as ecstatic and pleasurable as the moment of conception itself. Now, with the release of two new documentary films in America depicting orgasmic births, and websites awash with first-hand accounts from women claiming similar experiences, are we about to lift the lid on this taboo?
Isobel Patterson, 31, a lawyer from Brighton, gave birth to her first baby, Amelia, last December, and is convinced she experienced an orgasmic birth, witnessed by her husband, James. She remembers it as the most pleasurable day of her life.”
My only question is why is it taboo? Mixing childbirth and orgasm seems like a great evolutionary coping mechanism for what otherwise might be just a painful experience. Maybe it is nature’s way of ensuring more children?
