A birthgasm is a female orgasm that reportedly occurs during childbirth. This is sometimes referred to as an "orgasmic childbirth." Some women use sexual stimulation to ease contractions, instead of anesthesia.[1] Although there is no scientific data available to confirm the existence of this form of orgasm, more than 85% of midwives surveyed by Postel (2013) stated that a sexually pleasurable birth experience was possible, and 69% stated they had observed such a case.[2][3]
