I read the Gaskin book & liked some of the stories, though I was irritated by the insistence that birth should be orgasmic. What. Ever.
Half an hour after the Blue-Eyed Boy was born I was ready to do it again. What an endorphin high, and my ego was definitely stoked by the "accomplishment." OTOH, during/after Nora's birth (though it was equally uncomplicated & much shorter) I remember thinking "this is NO FUN. Never again!"
Now I am in a headspace where I probably would, if time/money were infinitely available. But (probably fortunately) it's no longer an option.
