Pain is all relative, right? My wife can get pummeled by whips and floggers for hours, but I take two good wacks and I’m down for the count. I love the stinging cut that electric play provides my sensory organs with, but she isn’t cool with the shock of touching a door frame when you’ve been rubbing your feet on the carpet.
Birth seems to be one of those life experiences where the pain levels can fluctuate. Some people with vaginas think that birth is the most outrageous pain they have ever experienced, but there is another school of thought out there that giving birth doesn’t have to be so painful. What if it was OK to have an orgasm during birth?
Enter: Debra Pascali-Bonaro
Debra is a Duala, which is basically like a cheerleader for the person giving birth. They provide comfort and good energy. While I’ve never given birth, a few of my friends who have have sworn up and down that their Dualas were essential to their birthing teams. Who is going to hold you up mentally and emotionally when everyone is totally focused on the fact that there is a person sliding out of your birth canal?
The Duala, that’s who.
Debra has been traveling around the world helping pregnant people give birth for over 30 years. She has a unique philosophy regarding the fact that fear perpetuates pain. If we know that something is going to hurt, it is going to hurt. If we can wrap our minds around the fact that the pain is coming and accept it, rather than fear it, there is a possibility that we can mentally overcome the pain, rather than being forced into it.
From her website linked below, she says:
I have learned that by taking away the power of birth, and by putting women in beds and hospital gowns, stripping away their ability to move, dance, and find joy in childbirth we have not only made birth more difficult, and more painful, but sadly we are missing out on an amazing opportunity to birth ourselves and our babies with respect, dignity, love, pleasure, and creating a heightened physical and emotional experience – one that I call Orgasmic!
Yes, I say to that.
I can 100% see how orgasming during childbirth would be helpful. Even for period cramps, which are absolutely nothing as extreme as actually giving birth, cumming over and over again can be extremely helpful to letting the muscles relax and easing the pain.
How do you Peepz feel about pregnant people having orgasms while they are giving birth? Does it squig you out? Do you think that sexuality and pregnancy are two completely different things? I’m totally fascinated by this topic and would really love to hear your thoughts.
