It goes without saying that giving birth is the most essential trait of any species, so I’m confused as to why it’s such a painful process for not just humans but also many other species. I’d venture to assume that the reason as to why sex feels so good is because, if it didn’t feel good, we wouldn’t want to do it, and if we’d feel discouraged to have sex, our species would trend towards doom. So, why is it that giving birth is such a painful process if it’s inextricably tied to the instinct of proliferating our species and keeping it alive?
