The ecstatic childbirth

The ecstatic childbirth

Nowadays the number of babies in the occidental world is increasingly reducing. There are plenty of reasons connected to this phenomenon and are all well known and interrelated. Just to quote some of them: fewer families are being established, career development, homosexuality and sterility. Together with all the possible causes, the pregnancy itself would be an extremely committed time period in a modern woman´s life which is not apt to having a baby but only to produce as much money and work as it is possible over the active years and possibly more. Giving birth is one of the most painful human actions recognised in the world, which is an added key and scary factor for many women considering the possibility to have a baby. A quote from the bible stated it thousands of years ago "The woman will give birth with pain[…]"  Are you still trying to find something good in that?

Surprise!

The result of a recent study could really change the view of the way we look at and feel childbirth. The research has demonstrated that 20% of women reach climax during the parturition and more than 30% have sexual feelings. Would you believe that?! Actually probably not and the cause of this disbelief is imaginable. The religious involvement of many people on one hand and the taboo related to sex in most societies on the other hand prevented the spreading of  the word and prevented even the wonderful sensations which have already surprised many women in the world. Surely none of them have been prepared to feel that fabulous excitement in giving birth, have they? In conclusion no women would be prepared for that in the near future, unless the women themselves would ask increasingly to be informed about this opportunity.

Technically the body releases the hormone oxytocin which stimulates ecstasy, then there are uterine contractions, nipple erection, and under the best circumstances an orgasm. How to get these best circumstances? Doctors agreed with creating the best circumstances recreating the home atmosphere where usually women make love.

There are many trustworthy sources and documents about this topic that can help women be ready to talk about it and overcome incredulity.
Some examples are the website www.orgasmicbirth.com
and then the testimonies collected by Laura Shanley at www.unassistedchildbirth.com. In addition to that a renowned scientific German magazine Die Zeit Wissen published an interesting article in July 2009 about all of that titled Lust fürs Leben (Lust for life).

I look forward to seeing this revolution and hopefully more babies.
