I've a deep entangled set of fantasies that admittedly are quite out of phase with my mundane "how others in my life see me" persona. If for example- I slip into a female bodied self imagery? Or the imagery of a male being allowed to simulate birthing? The original post of a woman self-simulating birthing is hotness indeed for some of us. But there' MORE in this area that I see.
A woman telling her lover that he's going to find out what it is like or her asking him to help her experience this- both can be wonderfully erotic in their own ways. . Reality Vs fantasy can be part of developing mindsets too. Pillow talk in the afterglow of wonderful sex where one says to their lover: Can we talk about making this fantasy come true? Well- as true as we can.
The basic concepts of carrying a pregnancy with attendant plus and minus experience points is going to for example' sake- be vastly divergent on things for a genetic male or genetic female. And divergent further still for someone contemplating mere fantasy, roleplay games- or a REAL full ride of getting impregnated to 9 months thence a birth of whatever sort comes up.
Apparently the extremes of cultish "Unassisted Birthing" with mom emulating a cat birthing alone or the other extreme of planned c sectioned general anesthesia events have displaced Lamaze or other Conscious Participatory Birthing. And how much is society driven Vs medical establishment may defy credibility either way.
Frankly- were I to be in a female body having a pregnancy with any sanity for doing so risk wise? Lamaze and no shaving nor episiotomy but certainly a VERY GENTLE colonic cleansing at the earliest certainty of labor - would be essentials of my birth plan. And a logically designed "Labor/Delivery Bed" would be the only thinkable to me path. I'd certainly have begun use of the Epi-No device at an appropriate time in my pregnancy as yeah- I've become a believer in it. Comfortably balanced lighting Vs stupidly bright or stupidly dangerous darkness seems also a case study in rational evaluations. Candles in a birthing environment may indeed be unacceptably dangerous but simulated ones as a psychological comfort plus aromatherapy might be- to me at least- worth the considerations.
Home Birthing has it's pros&cons on so many levels that it must be case-by case and even held as potentially life-or death mindfulness that "Yeah- it's now time to get into hospital as some risk changed". Roleplay Vs fantasies Vs REALITY again alters our approaches, After all- roleplay clinics or a playdoc relationship can gain dimensions. for relatively safe sessions whilst opening up a shedload of clinical roleplay fantasies between males/females in several directions.
Recently- I'd daydreamed of a past colonic session where the therapist had given me a WONDERFUL belly massage and she'd said "this how we massage a woman during labor" which left me barely able to not confess my fantasies. Sighing at my past hesitancy to take risks- today- I'd now contemplate after session- asking the therapist what she thought of fantasies involving a male simulating birth- like that tv show for example. and seeing how it went.
I've not got a vagina nor the other babymaking bits though I can admit to wishing I COULD swap genders for a year or so and experience birth et all...
