I've been thinking about this a lot, too. It seems to me that they've mislabeled their philosophies for the shock/sensationalist reaction that the name "Orgasmic Birth" provokes. After watching the preview, its seems that they're really promoting something like "sensual, reduced-pain, not-treating-pregnancy-like-a-medical-condition birth," which is, like, totally cool and understandable and certainly commendable. Reducing that ethos to the term "Orgasmic Birth" cheapens it to a funny party joke and blog fodder, as we are seeing right here! Hmmm...

I don't have children, so I can't speak from experience, but I do know that we have a culture that works to engender fear of childbirth in women. A woman happily announcing her pregnancy is invariably regaled with her friends' stories of long, painful labor, tearing, and other horrors. I am delighted that someone is trying to infuse women with the spirit that they can give birth and that it doesn't need to be horrifying.

I am entirely in favor of funny party jokes and blog fodder.

Oh, me too, Ned. You bet your Pulitzer I am. I'm just saying that perhaps their branding runs counterproductive to their goals, which are promoting what Beth eloquently describes above and not a viral video for people to chortle at.

Sometimes when I have a really big pooh it stimulates my prostate. I imagine it's exactly the same feeling for these ladies.

Matt:

To get the idea try shiting a watermelon or pulling your top lip up over where your hairline used to be.

And, ladies don't have prostate glands.

Please wait...
