Birth and Sex

Exploring the connection between sexuality and childbirth, Sheila Kitzinger argues that when birth is a natural and spontaneous process, it can evoke similar physiological responses to sexual excitement. She emphasizes the importance of understanding birth not merely as a medical event but as a profound experience that shares commonalities with sexual expression. Through this perspective, Kitzinger invites readers to reconsider the relationship between sex and birth, highlighting the emotional and physiological parallels that can enhance the birthing experience.
