Informative topic breakdown of Cock rings:

Benefits of rigid rings
I've only ever used soft jelly type rings, but I know some people swear only by hard metal. What's the biggest advantage of using a metal ring over a.

Cock in my box!
Ok, so I get reader email a lot from the various magazines and productions I do. Sometimes they are inquiring about meeting them, suggestive sex acts.

How Many Men Use Cock Rings
I can't get my fiancé to wear a cock ring. I was just wondering how many men really wear one and if its not only him.

During foreplay and when having sex, which of the five senses is your strongest sense when it comes to turning you on: sight, sound, taste, smell, touch?
Recently, I had an experience with a jelly material toy, but the smell was so bad that I couldn't enjoy it. It brought me back to when I did a sense.

I know people who say this happened to them, but it didn't happen to me. I felt an incredible sense of relief when my kiddos came out, almost euphoric relief (which some midwives refer to as birthing high)....but while in labor and while pushing, no orgasms for sure.

WOW I sure did not have an O when having any of my children but a girl I work with claims that she did.

Interesting...I'm wondering if that "birthing high" is produced by the same chemical (oxytocin) released during orgasm.

I'm still childless so I've clearly never experienced an orgasmic childbirth. I've also never met anyone who says they've had one. However, I've studied orgasmic childbirth in a few classes. People are always so disgusted by it, like the woman is aroused by her child and using it as a sexual pleasure object. I think it's a really misunderstood phenomenon that needs more research and less stigma surrounding it.

Oh I totally agree. I think it makes perfect sense...

When a woman orgasms, it releases oxytocin which makes her feel bonded to the person she's with. I see no reason why that wouldn't apply to something you're supposed to be bonded to for all eternity (your child).

I've known about this for quite a while. I'm shocked that some people still scream that it doesn't exist. It's like it doesn't matter if some women say they've experienced it. Until there is a study on it, it didn't happen, right? It kind of reminds me of the former G-spot debate and how docs said it didn't exist until, lo and behold, it was scientifically proven to be there.

The problem is partly, like lildrummrgurl said, that people are horrified that it can happen. It's like in their minds it almost borders on pedophilia. I don't get that. Another part of the issue is that in the US, women are typically on their backs (a really bad way to give birth, by the way) and their movement is often restricted by fetal monitoring and other devices. It's very hard to experience any sort of birth euphoria that way. Those that have only given birth under duress and then cry that women that have had birth orgasms are lying can shut it. One person's experience does not negate another's.

I've heard if it, and it just strengthens my resolve to give birth at home. Too many medical professionals have horrible attitudes ("What do you know about your body, you're just a woman."), and I disagree with many of the practices of hospital births. Even without an orgasm, childbirth does not have to be so traumatic, for the mother or child.
It makes people uncomfortable because sex and motherhood are not to be seen together; never mind that they are very much interconnected. It's the same sort of stigma that requires women to go hide in a restroom to breast feed.

I had heard of this before but never looked into it more in-depth. Interesting. No kids for me, yet.

I guess I'd believe, I mean who would lie about something like that? I doubt I'll feel anything other than intense pain . I want a child some day but I'm the biggest baby and have a low pain tolerance.
