Is sex like childbirth?

Question

Lets say both are before, the event, the aftermarth.
Sex
1) Before = courtship and thrusting
2) Event = splurge, ejaculation, out comes semen
3) Aftermarth = the relationship, & responsibility

Childbirth
1) Before=courship, pregnancy and labor
2) Event = splurge, birth, out comes baby
3) Aftermarth = rearing baby & responsibility

Is (2) physically fun in both cases? I know that ejaculation is fun but does birth have the same thrill, endorfins, catharsis, sense of climax?

And with sex, (1) while in a sense "work" is rarely seen as work because there is (2) to look foward to. And sometimes (3) can be the best bit, even the objective - "If I nail her, she'll go out with me! (yeah)"

Similarly(?) in birth, courtship and even pregancy promise (2) birth. And sometimes (3) can be the objective - "If I bear baby, baby will love me."

(2) may have a very physical appeal but (3) especially may be (for some) "work," hence nasty bonk-and-run guys, and post natal depression?

Answer 1

if you look it at it that way. But sex dont hurt after you been doing it for a while. wear protection and you can go on your way when done.
pregnancy it hurts like hell to give birth your body changes and you have to take care of a child for the next 18 yrs.

Answer 2

There are ways of avoiding the responsibility of birth, by adopting. and some do that.

Birth hurts a lot more but the ejaculant is bigger and better.

Courtship, and making a buck, and being an elligible guy can require all ones life and effort - to become a zombie/salesman.

The minivan, saggy boobs and stretch marks are fairly often the same in both cases. Males get to bonk about 10 women before getting a minivan and a screaming annoying woman with saggy boobs and stretch marks. A lot of post sex men, once bagged, get fat too, fatter on average than women.

Birth must be a major climax otherwise people would not do it! It must be ten times better.

Answer 3

Thats why you should always have protected sex. You can do it any number of times in a day. But one baby is enough to kick your behind the whole life.

Answer 4

I wouldn't think so because after sex you don't get hugely fat with saggy boobs and stretch marks all over the place, have some screaming annoying child and have to drive a minivan!

Answer 5

Sex is the number one cause of childbirth today. It's at epidemic perportions. We need to take steps to reverst this trend or we're going to continue to produce more and more babies........and babies cause teenagers. Somewhere this cycle must stop.

Answer 6

Hell no! When you give birth, it is the pain worst ever (if you have a normal delivery). See for yourself!

Answer 7

from a male perspective i prefer sex

Answer 8

Birth hurts quite a bit more than ejaculation. Duh.
