The reason women who experience a 'birthgasm' can disassociate from it is because it is a physical and neurological reaction to stimuli - and
nothing to do with anything erotic.
Debra has forged relationships with noted researchers, such as
Dr. Sarah Buckley, who has researched and published reports on childbirth which uphold the science behind birthgasms.
"It makes neurological sense," Debra continues.
"The mother is creating a hormonal cocktail. To open her body and prepare for birth, she creates the same hormone (oxytocin) which her body uses to prepare for orgasm."
"So, hormonally speaking, it's the same criteria for birth as for sex.
"And consider this, the baby is coming down and hitting all the places we know typically bring pleasure, so it's a combination of things."
Having worked so extensively to help women have a comforting and pleasurable birth, she has seen women take having a birthgasm into their own hands.
"I attended a birth where the mother was using a vibrator.
"When she WASN'T using it, she did feel pain.
