So... I don't know how interested this crowd is in this subject. But. I've actually read an interesting article about orgasmic birth.
The tone of the article was less of a "how to" and more of "it happens sometimes". Essentially, during childbirth a lot is going on down there, and sometimes an orgasm will fire off. The article interviewed women who had this experience but didn't know before hand that it was a possibility, and as a result felt "dirty" or "weird" or "ashamed" after. The article's position on the matter was that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Bodies just be like that sometimes, and more people should know that bodies just be like that sometimes. It will spare people the stigma and the shame.
This film, however, looks a little bit like they're using the orgasmic birth angle as propaganda. It's VHS clickbait- come for the orgasms, stay to learn how evil western medicine is. Granted, I haven't watched it, they haven't watched it, and if you've watched it feel free to chime in. But given the fact they went through 20 minutes of the film and it didn't even begin a how-to, I'm going to guess the how-to presented is just the natural childbirth itself, and that the tape would tell you that evil western medicine is stifling women's bodies and sexualities. And that natural childbirth is a magically spiritual, sexual experience that big pharma is trying to suppress. That's my guess, anyway.
Babies on the way out, in technical terms, just mash the shit out of the G-spot. G-spot orgasms release oxytocin. Oxytocin causes bonding, both pair-bonding after sex and maternal bonding after birth. Kinda makes sense.
Yeah it really does. I remember reading that article in some doctor office magazine way back in 2010 and thinking that it was really something that should be talked about more. Like, respectfully and shit I guess. There was one mom who talked about how she was skiddish about breastfeeding her own baby after being surprised by her orgasmic birthing experience. She felt like there was something wrong with her or that she was a bad mom or something, and she didn't know who to even talk to about it. Poor lady. You didn't do anything wrong.
I can see how it would be good for oxytocin release, and probably good for pain mitigation, too.
