Orgasmic childbirth?

Obviously, I'm not a woman.

Still, from what I have heard this would seem to be an oxymoron.

On January 2, 2009, ABC's 20/20 will air a documentary named "Orgasmic Birth". The movie is by Debra Pascali-Bonaro, a childbirth educator and a doula. Her goal is to ask the question, "What would happen if women were taught to enjoy birth rather than endure it?"

Apparently, in the movie there are women who discuss having orgasms during childbirth.

One couple discusses their experience during the birth of their second child. While in labor, they caressed and kissed resulting in the mother experiencing an orgasm while giving birth.

I haven't heard of many women wanting to caress and kiss their partner during labor, much less see them. Still, it is an interesting concept.

From a male point of view though, how humiliating would it be for a man to find out his wife, or significant other, never had an orgasm while having sex?

But then, all of a sudden, she has one while delivering a baby.

Talk about feeling small.

The Wizard has spoken.
