I recently received a very lengthy anonymous comment on one of my story chapters complaining about the "impossibly clean birth" at the end and how unrealistic it is. I want to reply "no shit", but that's actually the essence of his complaint. Using the fact that he apparently dated a midwife as his source, the commenter explains in detail all of the gross things that actually happen during delivery and asks about the whereabouts of the umbilical cord (which he misspells as "chord") as well as the placenta in the scene.
If you'd like to read the full comment for yourself, follow the link and scroll down (it's the massive block paragraph).
As a woman who is days away from giving birth for the fourth time, I am well aware of how gross and unglamorous labor actually is, and that babies are messy, wriggly little things when fresh out of the birth canal, so the commenter isn't wrong. My question is: why on earth would anyone WANT this part to be depicted realistically in a smut story?
This is obviously just one commenter out of many, and since I enjoy including breeding as a theme in my stories, they basically demand a birth scene (albeit a sanitized one) to complete the kink. Even so, it still baffles me as to why anyone would complain about a scene like this being too sanitized. I've had female commenters post about the birth scenes in my stories, and nobody criticized them for not being gross enough, because why would anyone want that in a story they're reading for pleasure (I assume)?
Has anyone else had complaints like this on their stories? Somebody criticizing the sex scenes for proceeding too smoothly and painlessly? The fact that the guy never has trouble getting hard whenever the story requires it? The fact that STIs are never mentioned? Pointing out that real men don't have nine-inch dicks?

Even though you've given birth three times so far, he'll always know more than you. Sadly, he's not alone here on this site.
You’ll be so blessed with your four angels - though I bet it’s chaotic sometimes!
I’m due for my first early next year. Kinda scary, so it’s super inspiring seeing somebody go thru this four times. Take care and please delete the weirdos before they get in your head!
