. Sheila Kitzinger M.B.E is a social anthropologist of birth and author of 24 books published internationally and lives near Oxford, England. She lectures widely and has learned from mothers and midwives across the world, from women in prison and those who have had a traumatic birth experience
Sex and birth are often talked about as contrasting experiences. In fact, when birth is physiological, not medical or surgical, and a woman is free to be spontaneous, endorphins surge into her blood stream in the same way as during sexual excitement. Sheila Kitzinger discusses sex during and after pregnancy, during motherhood and the sexuality of birth.

Good information but not ideal if you are trying to stay away from negative stuff I like the book and the principle that it is build on - I was hoping for more information on the topic - i.e. Birth & Sex: The Power and the Passion. Instead it goes through a lot of history and a lot of current practices that are applied during birthing. I am pregnant currently and was trying to stay away from this side totally as I wanted to fill my mind only with the positive side of giving birth.. Four Stars Wish I had known this in my 20's.
