Here's Some Of The Worst News Ever, You May Have Given Your Mother An Orgasm During Childbirth
(Source) When Elena Skoko gave birth to her daughter three years ago, she felt pain. But she also felt something else: waves of pleasure so ecstatic they compared to an orgasm. “I had this wavy sensation of blissful waves going through me,” said Skoko, a singer and author of “Memoirs of a Singing Birth” (lulu.com, 2012). Though childbirth is frequently spoken of in terms of pain and punishment, some women do experience what are known as orgasmic or ecstatic births. A new survey, available online May 3 in the journal Sexologies, finds that midwives report witnessing orgasms in about 0.3 percent of births. Anatomically, orgasmic birth is no surprise, said Barry Komisaruk, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University in New Jersey who studies orgasm. In fact, the intense stimulation of the vaginal canal in childbirth may work to block pain — whether that stimulation is felt as sexual or not.
Anecdotal reports of orgasm during birth have long circulated in the natural childbirth community. These reports reached perhaps their widest audience yet in 2009 with the documentary “Orgasmic Birth: The Best-Kept Secret,” directed by childbirth educator Debra Pascali-Bonaro. People are often skeptical of the concept of pleasure during birth, Pascali-Bonaro told LiveScience. Some see the idea of sexual feelings during childbirth as unacceptable, she said. “People see ‘birth’ and ‘orgasmic’ together on paper, and it pushes all their buttons on sexuality,” Pascali-Bonaro said.The new study, conducted by psychologist Thierry Postel of Blainville-sur-Mer, France, is among the first to try to put hard numbers on how many women experience moments of ecstasy in birth. Postel contacted 956 French midwives, asking them to complete an online questionnaire about orgasmic birth. He got 109 complete responses for midwives, who, combined, had assisted 206,000 births in their careers. The results “established the fact that obstetrical pleasure exists,” Postel wrote. Midwives reported 668 cases in which mothers told midwives they’d felt orgasmic sensations in birth. In another 868 cases, midwives said they’d seen mothers demonstrate signs of pleasure during childbirth. Finally, nine mothers completed questionnaires confirming they’d experienced an orgasm during birth.

Well this is great. Like monday isn’t a shitty enough day, now there’s a chance I made my mom cum. Straight up slush panties. Yup, first moment in this world was possibly spent giving my mom a good old fashioned toe curling orgasm. That was how I entered life. Probably the best news ever and by that I mean I want to throw up on myself and erase this entire story from my memory. And you know, I thought having the word orgasm and mother in the same sentence was bad, well boy was I wrong, because now I know there is a documentary titled “Orgasmic Birth : The Best-Kept Secret”. Without a shadow of a doubt the worst movie ever created. You’re off the hook Gigli. Debra Pascali Bonaro* just fucked your face with her in depth childbirth orgasm studies.
PS
How about Barry Komisaruk? Guy studies orgasms for a living. What a job that must be.
