Pregnancy
& sex drive
HTHGS:
Pregnancy and sex drive (written by Alex Robboy, LCSW, CAS)
Ask Alex,
I enjoy reading your newsletters and always have. My question would be....I am 4
months pregnant and have no desire for sex at all. DO you or your experts have
any suggestions?
Dear MP,
My first suggestion is to simply listen to your body. Pregnancy causes all types of physical changes, including an
alteration in hormones, which affect sex drive. Some people get hornier, and
others less horny. Try to figure
out what your body wants. For some
women this may mean more cuddling, more physical stimulation or less touch
altogether. If you are worried
about how your altered sex drive may be affecting your partner, you could ask
him. If he is having a hard
adjusting find out what you could do to help him with this period so that he
does not take it personally. (eg. Blow jobs, back rubs, cooking his favorite
meal, letting him know he is special by writing love notes etc).
Remember, if you are not in the mood for sex, don't have it. With that
being said, partnerships require finding pleasure in doing things that are meant
to please your partner. So a little bit of give and take may be necessary.
