The Best Kept Secret of Birth
ByI had the great pleasure of interviewing Debra Pascal-Bonaro, internationally renowned childbirth expert. Debra has recently completed her first film which is a documentary called Orgasmic Birth following the stories of 11 women.
Debra explained that because it is now seen as a medical event, we have forgotten that birth is actually part of a woman’s sexual life.
If you were to consider birth in this manner what would you be asking for?
According to Debra, the best kept secret of birth is that 20% of women who are not medicated report having orgasm during birth.
So what are you asking for and expecting? If you were to open up to the idea that birth is a sensual experience what would be different about your current birth plan?
Are you hoping to survive birth or would you love your birth to be am empowering, sensual experience connecting you to your deep wisdom and a pleasure for you, your partner and your baby?
You can take the first step towards an orgasmic birth…..by daring to dream. Write out what you would love and play with the idea that a sensual birth really is a possibility for you and your baby.
In joy,

I had the joy of taking my DONA doula training w Debra. My 2 births were wonderful experiences although not orgasmic. I know it’s possible to experience bliss and that;s how I would describe it for me.

Thank you for posting this… this topic of Sensual Birth & Sensual Pregnancy needs to be discussed again and again… I dream of the day when Sensuality regains it’s priority status in the modern woman’s life! I plan to teach this to my daughter, nieces and any other woman who will listen! I’ve been searching the net for anything to do with Orgasmic Birth, and am attempting to devour all I can find on the subject. I am pregnant with #3, and am planning a Sensual Home Birth
