The fact is that sex sells, and they sold that film by calling it Orgasmic Birth. Besides one birth they showed, most births appeared to be painful and difficult, but satisfying for the women and very empowering. That was the point of the film. Mostly they refered to "ecstatic birth" - which I took to mean birth viewed in a positive light, instead of a fearful one. Women met the challenge of childbirth, and were rewarded with a sense of accomplishment.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the article this post references, why is this woman dictating that women must feel pain, or they are just giving in to some other part of man's fantasy? There are as many birth stories as there are births - no two are alike.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983274195515128817noreply@blogger.com
