Radical Remembering: The Erotics of Birth

A tantric, trauma-aware guide to opening, receiving, and birthing through the body’s original intelligence

Birth is the only time in a woman’s life when her body is biologically designed to open completely.

Not just physically.
But hormonally.
Neurologically.
Erotically — in the original sense of Eros, the life force that opens, softens, and receives.

And yet most modern birth culture treats this opening as something to manage, control, or endure.

Radical Remembering exists to tell a different truth.

What this book is really about

This is not a promise of orgasmic birth.
It is not a technique, a performance goal, or a fantasy.

It is an exploration of birth as physiology and initiation — where safety, sensation, and surrender shape how the body opens.

Drawing on:

  • neurobiology and hormonal science

  • trauma-aware embodiment

  • ancestral and tantric wisdom

  • decades of lived experience attending births inside and outside the medical system

this guide reconnects you with the erotic intelligence already written into your body.

Not as something to chase —
but as something to remember.

Inside this guide, you’ll explore:

  • Why safety begins in the nervous system — and how fear, pressure, and observation shut down opening

  • The shared blueprint between erotic physiology and birth physiology

  • How hormones like oxytocin, endorphins, adrenaline, and prolactin shape labor and altered states

  • Why breath, sound, and movement are not coping tools — but doorways

  • How trauma and shame live in the body, and how opening requires consent, not force

  • What “orgasmic possibility” actually means physiologically (and why it’s rare, unpredictable, and never a goal)

  • How partners support birth through presence, protection, and restraint — not coaching

  • Why birth is an initiation, not an event — and how integration matters long after delivery

Each chapter includes:

  • somatic and embodiment practices

  • reflection prompts

  • optional variations

  • closing blessings to seal the work

This is a book meant to be felt, not rushed.

Radical Remembering:

The Erotics of Birth

Who this is for

This book is for:

  • pregnant people birthing inside, outside, or alongside the medical system

  • those curious about orgasmic or pleasurable birth without romanticizing it

  • people carrying trauma who want a body-honoring approach

  • partners who want to learn how to hold space, not direct

  • birthworkers who want to serve physiology rather than control

And for anyone who knows — deep in their bones — that birth was never meant to be purely medical.

Who this is not for

This is not for you if:

  • you want a guarantee or a technique to produce orgasm

  • you’re looking for medical advice or prescriptive instructions

  • you want to bypass fear, trauma, or complexity

  • you want to be told what to do

This work does not override the body.
It listens to it.

Why this book exists

For centuries, women were taught that birth is something to survive.

But long before birth was managed, monitored, and medicalized, women understood that opening requires safety, privacy, rhythm, and trust.

The erotic body was once sacred.
The birthing body was once revered.

This book is a reclamation of that knowing — without fantasy, without force, and without shame.

Inside the System: A Radical Guide to Hospital Birth
$33.00

This practical teaching and Q&A will help you apply the book’s insights to real hospital birth scenarios — including consent, time pressure, monitoring, and power dynamics — so you can navigate birth with clarity and confidence.

Not anti-hospital. Not anti-medicine.
Just the part no one teaches you.

This guide helps you walk into the hospital rooted in your voice, your rhythm, and your power — no matter what unfolds.

Because you were never meant to be managed.
You were meant to birth informed, embodied, and free.

Staying With Yourself
$29.00

Making pregnancy decisions without giving your power away

Staying With Yourself is a quiet, grounding guide for moments when pregnancy decisions feel heavy, pressured, or emotionally charged — and you don’t want to abandon yourself just to feel relief.

This guide is not about choosing a specific kind of birth.
It’s about learning how to stay connected to yourself when fear, urgency, or outside voices get loud.

Inside, you’ll find gentle reflections and embodied language that help you:

  • recognize how fear and pressure show up in your body

  • tell the difference between relief and clarity

  • pause without freezing or collapsing

  • stay present long enough to hear your own knowing

  • ask for support without handing your power away

This is not a checklist, a method, or medical advice.
It won’t tell you what to do or promise a particular outcome.

Instead, it offers orientation — a way to stay with yourself when something important is being asked of you.

You don’t need to read it in order.
You don’t need to finish it.
You can return to it whenever things feel loud, rushed, or uncertain.
