I mean it does make sense. One of the functions of oxytocin is to stimulate uterine contractions and giving the woman an orgasm is a legit way to non pharmacologically induce labor. Personally it seems weird to me but all of pregnancy is gross to me and it is genuinely a thing that some midwives / doulas will recommend that the mother / husband do in the case of an otherwise uncomplicated late term baby.
I completely forgot about that. We got the same recommendation before they decided to enduce labor. Along with several others that would definitely not ease the pain of a period if that's the goal.

Alcohol thins your blood so maybe it works but it's definitely not drying anything. No comment on the second one.

If you tell this to your doctor they will indeed look at you weird.

Both, but I'm a fan of the latter. Snorting pepper on the toilet (not a lot of pepper!) helps, too.
