When Elena Skoko gave birth to her daughter three years ago, she felt pain. But she also felt something else: the waves pleasures comparable to orgasm. “I had a sense of waves bliss passing through me, “says Skoko, singer and author the book Memoirs of a Singing Birth. Although childbirth is most often perceived as an act of pain and severe test, some women at this moment really experience something that we call orgasm or ecstasy. In a new study the journal “Sexologies”, which is available online from May 3, states that midwives have documented cases of orgasm during childbirth in three cases out of a thousand, i.e. in 0.3%. Anatomically, an orgasm during childbirth is quite possible, says Barry Komisaruk, a psychology professor at the University of New Jersey who studies orgasm. In fact, intense vaginal stimulation during childbirth can block pain, it doesn’t matter, this is perceived stimulation as sexual or not. Individual cases of orgasm with births have been noticed for a long time. Reports have been provided wide audience back in 2009. in the documentary “Orgasm at birth: the best kept secret “(” Orgasmic Birth: The Best-Kept Secret “), shot by Debra Pascal-Bonaro. People often are skeptical of the concept of having fun while childbirth, says the director of the film. Some consider this probability completely unacceptable. Many women are forced to give birth where they have there is no possibility to move freely due to monitoring devices, some lack support; others are not allowed to drink water in case of Caesarean section (before surgery, you can not eat and drink). All these restrictions reduce the possibility of orgasm during childbirth almost to zero. New French study psychologist Thierry Postel from Blanville-sur-Mer (France), is one of the first in which statistics of cases when childbirth woman experienced ecstasy. The bed turned to 956 midwives, who accepted a total of 206,000 births. It turned out that in 668 cases, women at birth experienced feelings similar to orgasm, and in 868 cases, there were signs that women experienced pleasant sensations.
