What do they mean when they say sex helps progress labor

Question

They say having sex helps labor along but what do they mean by that? Is it the sperm? Is it orgasm? Because I do not orgasm during sex and was wondering if I just master bated if it would help things along 😅

Answer

The sperm softens the cervix
Orgasms cause uterine contractions 
Orgasms also release happy relaxing hormones
Bring a bullet to bed to help encourage an orgasm with sex. Or masturbate next to your SO as foreplay and then let them penetrate.

Answer

Sperm and orgasms help

Answer

Nothing helped me lol

Answer

I believe orgasm (yours) and seminal fluid (from male ejaculation) against the cervix both help.
