For over 20 years I’ve been telling everyone I meet that we have to shift the way we look at birth. Instead of it as something to endure, it should be something we actively participate in, with power, confidence, and love.
Birth is a part of our sexual lives. When you separate birth from sexuality, it impacts the experience you have giving birth and can have a profound impact on your sexuality in the short and long term. To explore this even deeper, it’s important to note that for survivors, birth can be a time of retraumatization or healing, depending on the care that the birthing person experiences.
Yet our medical views of birth often strip away or sterilize birth of the power, pleasure, and yes sexuality of childbirth. Take time to consider why I believe considering the sexuality of childbirth is important and after hearing my top 5 reasons I would love to hear yours @OrgasmicBirth
