Child Birth as Orgasmic Experience

E_Nygma says...

while i'd agree with you that women in labor are sometimes intimidated by hospital settings and made uncomfortable within them, to say that the medical industry and its practitioners intentionally cultivate such an environment is a slap in the face of a multitude of people who have dedicated a majority of their lives to helping others. it's also plain wrong. i've never seen an epidural given to a woman who didn't want one, but i've seen plenty of women begging for pain relief who initially wanted none. while i'm glad your personal experience of home birth went well, like tymbrwulf points out, there are many for whom unique circumstances result in an emergency trip to a hospital and a birth that is far from optimal.

>> ^dag:
The patrician medical industry is vested in keeping childbirth a scary, painful experience. Epidurals and C-sections are their favorite tools.
