How To Have Good Sex,

HTHGS: Pregnancy &
Relationships
Ask Lancie,
Is it normal for a husband not to want to have sex with his wife while she is
pregnant? It is a normal pregnancy, so it is safe for me to have sex. Most
of the time I hear how men are turned on while there wife is pregnant, but my
husband won't even touch me in any sexual way, and it is getting frustrating.
Any suggestions?
Andy Ray
Dear Andy Ray,
Although you may be experiencing a physically “normal” pregnancy, you are
probably on an extreme emotional roller coaster.
The 40 weeks of gestation can be the most exhilarating and exhaustingly
frustrating time in a woman’s life. (Having been pregnant last year at this
time I can truly understand).
Yes, it is common for men to be sexually attracted to
pregnant women. They often enjoy
the physical changes that are occurring and feel a close bond with the fetus,
which is being nourished inside the woman’s body.
Not to mention, pregnant women are extremely attractive and sexual
beings.
However, we cannot forget about the fathers when we are
discussing emotional roller coasters. It
is normal for men to feel the same anticipations and fears that the mothers
are experiencing. Your husband
may be feeling overwhelmed by the thought of being a new father, especially if
this is your first child together.
It is not uncommon for anyone to lose sexual interest
when they are experiencing emotional stress.
Your husband may be afraid of hurting the fetus with vaginal
penetration, or possibly physically making you uncomfortable; depending upon
what stage of the pregnancy you’re in.
Whatever issues your husband may be struggling with, my
best advise is to communicate directly with him.
If he is feeling overwhelmed than the two of you can work things out
together. If he is concerned
about hurting you or the baby, the two of you can schedule an appointment with
your OB-GYN, to address his questions. Communication
is the key to making any relationship work and will become more important as
both of your stress levels continue to rise.
Remember, you were partners before the pregnancy, and
will need to continue to make each other a priority after your new bundle of
joy arrives.
HTHGS: Sex mid-pregnancy
Ask Lancie,
This is rag , I got married 8 month back . In the first two week
intercourse itself wife was pregnant . now she completes seven months and
running of eight month carrying . Is it advisable having sex till the
birth of baby . myself and my wife also very much interested in sex. till
date we are having one time a day sex .
tell me your advise in this regards . i am interested
having sex daily. I will wait for you early reply
Rag,
Dear Rag,
I don’t want our readers to think I only answer questions
about pregnancy, but you did ask for a quick response and in this case I
believe you need one.
It is safe to have sex throughout your wife’s
entire pregnancy. However, the
two of you need to make absolutely sure there are no problems with your fetus
or your wife’s health. The best
way to find out this kind of information is to ask your doctor directly.
If all is well, continue to enjoy each other as often as it
pleases both of you. Pregnancy
often enhances a woman’s sense of arousal and orgasm, so the two of you
should take advantage of this one on one time together before you’re too
tired to kiss goodnight.
A LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Some
couples have sex while in the early stages of labor to help alleviate some of
the pain. DO NOT ATTEMPT
penetration if your wife’s water has broken, or a limb or umbilical cord is
hanging out of the vagina. Instead,
call your doctor immediately.
