The pressure exerted on thoses nerves when *I* gave birth reminded me more of severe constipation! At any rate, the sensations were far from being as pleasant and relaxing as orgasm! I'm not saying that it isn't scientifically possible (I don't really know). But, I really DOUBT IT! At any rate, since you are a dad-to-be, don't let your wife get her hopes up! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <witty_remarks.h> Jane Medefesser Tolerant Systems San Jose, Ca uucp: {bene,mordor,oliveb,pyramid,ucbvax}!tolerant!jane tele: 408-946-5662 voice: yo, Jane
