According to a new study, giving birth and getting it on are physiologically more similar than we thought. A new survey study in the journal Sexologies last month reported that some women experience ecstatic or “orgasmic” births; about .03% of midwives have witnessed women having orgasms during birth. Debra Pascali-Bonaro, a childbirth educator and director of the 2009 documentary “Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret,” said that all of the limitations women have in hospitals (i.e. no water, restraining fetal monitoring devices) make it harder for women to imagine a pleasurable birth experience. “SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!” screamed all the women giving birth right now.
In an effort to get some respect and legal protection from the law, “AMMAR” (the association of women prostitutes of Argentina) has started an ad campaign called “corner.” The ads depict a prostitute on one side of the building, then seeing their hand pushing a stroller or holding their kids’ hands on the perpendicular wall. Above the pictures of children will read various statements like “86% of sex workers are mothers that are looking for laws to protect them against exploitation.” The purpose of AMMAR was originally just to prevent sex trade workers from getting rearrested and detained within 24 hours. The organization’s current goal is to see prostitution in Argentina legalized and acknowledged as legitimate employment. Meanwhile in America, all you have to have to be "legitimately employed" is a Jersey accent and a love affair with Jose Cuervo.
