[quote=Anonymous]Interesting that no one so far has said that they've had an orgasm.  And in discussions with friends, and from what I've read on other forums, it seems extremely rare.  (I know no one personally who's experienced this.)

So is it because we're not open enough to or aware of the possibility, or because the possibility is overblown?  My feeling is that it's the latter.  I also read Ina May Gaskin's book and felt that she "oversexualized" birth, in a way.  It seemed like the book romanticized birth as a sexual experience. The descriptions of people getting themselves off while in the midst of birth seemed like a real wacked out, typically 70s attitude, and kind of gross, but maybe I'm repressed.

There is a difference between an act being related to your sexual organs, and the consequence of sex, and being a sexual act.  Having a bowel movement can stimulate nerve endings and cause mild pleasure for some people -- should we start considering the possibility of an O while on the toilet?

Ok, that last line was meant to be provocative, I understand the difference, but let's not turn birth into a fairy tale that women have to live up to.  [/quote]
