Some women however, say labor and childbirth doesn’t have to be this way and the experience can be pleasurable— even orgasmic. Not only are there women who say they have orgasmic births, but some report having an orgasm during birth or as Pascali-Bonaro calls it, a “birthgasm.”According to a survey by the Positive Birth Movement and Channel Mum, 6 percent of women said they had an orgasm during birth. Instead of reporting pain, these women describe labor as “intense” or “challenging.”Hormones also play a significant role. Likewise, when women surround themselves with other women who have positive birth stories and they can visualize a happy birth experience, they’ll be more likely to manifest the same experiences, Moes said. Although orgasmic birth or a “birthgasm” is possible, experts agree it isn’t something women should try to achieve.
