What if it could be pleasurable? Also known as an ecstatic birth, orgasmic birth is essentially the idea that some people may be able to experience an orgasm or several during childbirth. This orgasm could occur spontaneously or as a result of masturbation or even intercourse. The idea of a pleasurable birth is something that birth doula Debra Pascali-Bonaro — who directed a documentary on the subject in — has been advocating for for a long time. In short: Yes, it appears that it could be possible. One study estimates that it could occur in about 0. So, how is it possible? Well, one reason is that the baby is moving through the same parts of your body that are involved in sexual pleasure. Another is that during childbirth and lactation, a number of hormones are released, including oxytocin — one of the very same hormones that helps make you feel good during an orgasm.

But really, decades-old research on masturbation shows that it can be a natural painkiller. So is it such a stretch to think that the release of oxytocin from orgasming could soothe contractions and move things along during childbirth? Maybe not. The idea of a climactic or pleasurable delivery seems to be gaining traction once again. But seriously, when it comes down to the science, can orgasms help induce labor?

Is it really possible to orgasm during birth? The connection between childbirth and sexual pleasure may be closer than we think, according to experts.

If I were a betting woman, I'd throw down good money that "orgasmic" probably isn't at the top of the list, if it's even on the list at all. And yet, a movement directly focused on women having orgasms while giving birth does indeed exist. But can birth really be orgasmic? And perhaps more importantly, how does one achieve it? The answers to these questions may lie less in focusing on the almighty climax, and more in the way we approach the process of labor and delivery , according to some experts. Here's what you need to know.
When Elena Skoko gave birth to her daughter three years ago, she felt pain. But she also felt something else: waves of pleasure so ecstatic they compared to an orgasm. Though childbirth is frequently spoken of in terms of pain and punishment, some women do experience what are known as orgasmic or ecstatic births. A new survey, available online May 3 in the journal Sexologies, finds that midwives report witnessing orgasms in about 0. Anatomically, orgasmic birth is no surprise, said Barry Komisaruk, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University in New Jersey who studies orgasm. In fact, the intense stimulation of the vaginal canal in childbirth may work to block pain — whether that stimulation is felt as sexual or not. Anecdotal reports of orgasm during birth have long circulated in the natural childbirth community. These reports reached perhaps their widest audience yet in with the documentary "Orgasmic Birth: The Best-Kept Secret," directed by childbirth educator Debra Pascali-Bonaro.
