Orgasmic Birth Podcast: Pleasure in pregnancy, birth and parenting. I believe pleasure is our birthright – from our sexuality, birth, parenting and beyond, we can find pleasure when we create space for joy and intimacy in our lives. Join me to have deep conversations about breaking the taboos of Sexuality + Motherhood/Parenthood.
Listen to leading experts in sexuality, healing and childbirth as well as stories from new parents, doulas, doctors, midwives and nurses. We will discuss how to positively prepare for childbirth and parenting by expanding love and intimacy in your life.
Fear can be contagious. Unfortunately, when thinking about giving birth, the common thoughts are fear, pain, and fear of pain… It doesn’t have to be that way. Orgasmic birth is showing a way that is often hidden but available to all. Orgasmic birth is the ultimate expression of love and pleasure. Listen in as Debra Pascali-Bonaro describes Orgasmic Birth and how you can have one. You’ll also learn some great tips on how to reduce pain during labor, and how to have a more pleasurable birth experience.

Orgasmic birth is considered a key part of a pleasurable childbirth experience - Research has shown that having an orgasm during childbirth can reduce pain, speed labor and provide pleasure.
- A person’s fear can be contagious so it is important for birth practitioners to bring in love and trust in order to create an environment that is conducive to orgasmic birth.

- Sexuality is an integral part of everyone’s humanity, and cannot be separated from other aspects of life.

“When we’re creating what I like to call our birth vision, our wishes, our desires, it’s knowing that when you’re the person laboring and birthing, you only get 50% of your desires and the other 50% is the baby’s desires or their needs for safety.” – Debra Pascali-Bonaro
“Orgasmic birth is to prepare people for the challenge, for the intensity, but to also know that there are so many other ways that you can prepare with pleasure with joy, with love, with connection, and that you can have an orgasmic experience in many ways.” – Debra Pascali-Bonaro
