As OB-GYN Christiane Northrup explains, a climactic labor is just basic science.

"When the baby is coming down the birth canal its in all the same positions as the penis going in to cause an orgasm," claims Northrup. Of course! Clearly science tells us that a 7 lb. human coming out of a vagina will cause inspire the same instant orgasmic bliss as a penis going into it.

20/20 would also like to challenge the notion that once a child is in grammar school, it's time for him or her to stop breast feeding. In another segment on the joys of motherhood, Robyn Paul, a woman whose son 6-year-old son, Tiernan, is still breast-feeding, explains that, "We use breasts to sell everything from beer to motorcycles, then a toddler is in mom's arms nursing for what they're supposed to be used for and everybody freaks out." In the clip below, Tiernan describes what it's like to drink from mommies "nummies."

It sounds bizarre, but the women in the film's trailer are pretty convincing (it also features commentary from some reputable names, like Dr. Christiane Northrup, Oprah's vajayjay guru). The idea of orgasming while your baby is making its way down the birth canal is somewhat disturbing, because of societal ideas about sex and what not, but relaxing, opening up, and enjoying the ride sounds a lot better than the alternatives. The film is currently being screened around the country, and will also be shown as part of ABC's 20/20 later this year.
