Do you enjoy stories from the unbirther's POV?

[MindiFlyth]

I enjoy stories both from the POV of the unbirthed person and the unbirther, but I get the feeling most unbirthing fans are just into the POV of the unbirthed. Do you think that's the case? Do you enjoy stories from the POV of the unbirther?

I presumably don't have to explain the appeal of the unbirthed POV to you folks. For me, the idea of being the one who is doing the unbirthing can be sexy in a sadistic way, a nurturing way, or even a bit of both. It's fun to think of somebody absolutely helpless like that inside of you, depending on you for survival, their little feet kicking and stretching the skin of your belly. It can be the ultimate form of domination, reducing somebody to a literal infant inside you, or it can be the ultimate nurturing, loving act. I like the idea of teasing them in there, but also the idea of singing them a soft lullaby and hugging them in my belly.

I'm working on a story about a woman who is cursed to become an unbirther and finds herself enjoying it. I'm hoping there are other people out there who enjoy the unbirther's POV! Most stories are about the POV of the unbirthed, and I'd like to see more that went the other way.

I think it can be done well from both perspectives, though I agree a lot of stories take a prey-focused perspective. I think it's because you can go into more detail than the predator is generally aware of. Anything serial benefits from taking the predator's side though.

Overall though, you do you, OP! Write the kind of stories you want to see in the world. That's my strategy.

Personally I like stories which feature both perspectives, particularly if they start from the unbirthed's and then switch to the unbirther.

Oh my, yes!

Pretty much the same here. I like when the story switches back and forth between them.

I always wanted to be unbirthed to an embryo state and get recycled by new mom. And later pop back out completely hers only to get rebirthed 15 or more times.

I quite enjoy both perspectives, as you may have guessed by my varied body of work. From a storytelling point of view, it tends to depend on what I'm trying to emphasize. The unbirther's POV is good for emphasizing a feeling of power and control, or of maternal care. And if I want to show the world reacting to the unbirth after it's happened, switching to a POV outside the womb is rather critical.
