I find some weird things on the internet...but that's not interesting or news. What I hadn't heard--ever--but found last night while searching for info on the birthing process in homo sapiens is that something like 20% of ladies have an orgasm while giving birth.
Having a baby is always portrayed in the cinema as a scary and painful process, and that characterization seems to be reinforced by the sterile way our white-male doctor controlled world has set up the hospitals in the real world.
Since humanity spent hundreds of thousands of years just fine with what's called "natural childbirth" nowadays, it seems less novel that an idustry of midwifery, water births, and natural births is becoming more popular.
But, there is a growing awareness of this orgasmic birth phenomena, known as the "best kept secret", with explanations, how-to books and DVDs, all available at this website.
The documentary won recognition at various film festivals.
The Internet never ceases to amaze me with the shiny nuggets of information buried beneath all the porn, scams, and celebrity gossip...
I'm not sure your birth or your brothers could have been described as orgasmic.... but they were pretty much drug free.... and two of the best things I ever did....congrats on a new nephew
