How to Have a Birth Orgasm

For most women, the thought of giving birth is scary. When asked, thoughts of excruciating pain or unbearable agony are usually associated with child birth. However, some mothers have discovered the secrets to turning one of the most painful experiences imaginable into one of the most pleasurable. During the first stages of labor, the cervix slowly opens. Once the cervix has fully dilated the baby is then pushed through the vagina. Much like sexual arousal, labor itself causes huge hormonal changes in the body. During a female orgasm the same organs that are being stimulated during sexual intercourse are involved in child birth which can make birth orgasms scientifically possible. Many women who experience orgasmic births encounter sexual arousal during labor contractions and reach their climax during the actual birth of their baby.

So how does one experience what some women are calling "the best kept secret"? Here are some tips to encountering a birth orgasm of your own:

1). Being in tune with your body: Women who are in touch with their sexuality are more likely to have an orgasmic birth. For example, women who have never experienced a sexual orgasm are less likely to experience a birth orgasm.

2). Mental preparation: To even have the possibility of a birth orgasm, one must change their expectations of labor and the birthing process. Releasing all previous perceived fears about child birth is vital.

3). Environment is everything: It's important that a woman wanting to experience an orgasmic birth is in an private environment where she feels safe and protected surrounded by people she trusts. The atmosphere should be set much like a romantic and sensuous evening involving soft music, dim lights, candles and nice smells.

4). Lamaze: since orgasmic births are natural childbirth without the use of pain medications, practicing relaxation techniques are highly recommended. Controlled breathing help reduce stress hormones that may cause muscles to tense up.

5). Get your partner involved: Participation of your spouse during the child birthing process is crucial. Kissing and caressing much like during the time of conception increases the secretion of the "love hormone" oxytocin. The same hormone needed during child labor and birth.

6). Midwives recommended: Hospitals are not recommended for women wanting to experience an birth orgasm. Most women who have successfully encounter an orgasm during birth do so in the privacy of their own home with the help of a midwife.
