GET OVER YOURSELVES!
- I'm reading all of these comments & all I think is "WOW". I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and am married to a wonderful man. I haven't wanted nor thought of sex since I was about 3-4 months pregnant. My husband has complained a couple times because I was EXTREMELY horny in the beginning but he understands that hormones do change. MEN get over yourselves already. You created this baby too so deal with the consequences that come with it. Cheating is a definite no-no because that'll hurt your relationship & hurt your family. If you want a stress reliever then ask for something else or maybe even give her a rub down, maybe that'll help get her in the mood. WOMEN- Stop with the whining. If you don't want sex then don't give it to him. Close your legs! Spoil him another way. If you feel guilty then give him a nice massage to make up for it. There are other ways to make your man happy & help him be stress free. GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE! ITS ONLY 9 MONTHS OF THIS!!

Am so stressed!
- My girlfriend is 8 weeks pregnant now. We both used to love having sex before she conceived. Sex was really fun for both of us that we could have it almost countless times a week. But now it has all changed. It is the exact opposite. She is so lazy to do the simplest thing now. She won't let me touch her, complains my hands feel warm on her, and this hits my understanding cuz she is ever covered head to toe complaining of feeling cold. I just wonder why she won't let my 'worm' hands do it instead of covering up in bedsheets! Well the point is, honestly...she is starving me...like a lot! that I might want to completely withdraw from her and do some other things. Chances are that I won't like to have sex with her when she finally gains the desire to do it with me again. It is because, for a few times we have had sex nowadays she kinda screams, as in painfully that I have to force myself to climax. It used to take us 30 or more minutes of enjoyment before we could both cum, but now 2-3min

There isn't really an answer here...
- My wife is 30-weeks pregnant with our 3rd child and our sex life is virtually non-existant, once a fortnight at most. We used to be at it twice a day before the babies - but now her libido is totally shot. She is permanently exhausted, while I'm still as horny as ever jerking off daily, sometimes 3 times a day. I always feel reluctant to initiate sex because quite frankly its so frustrating to get mentally 'in-the-zone' to be turned down yet again. She feels bad, I feel frustrated - its' lose-lose, and not worth the bad vibes. I care very much for my wife, and empathise what she is going through physically and mentally. I understand, really I do. She hates her pregnant, and post-baby body, and no she's not as hot as she once was - but I still find her sexy. I don't want to pressurise her into having sex reluctantly, nor make her uncomfortable, or guilty. I have sexual needs that are totally unfulfilled. Im not going to cheat on her - but I understand COMPLETELY why one would. It sucks

enough!!!!!!!!!!!
- My girlfriend is 14 weeks pregnant last time having sex it was 3 weekends back. She wouldn't let me hit. I love my girl and I don't wanna end up cheating just get laid. Ladies you must satisfy you men. I'm literally aroused as I'm writing this. I won't masturbate as I have girl, I totally don't agree .......

Need advice
- I read the posts on here so I decided to reach out. So I'm 15 weeks pregnant and for a while now my boyfrend and I have been arguing more and more because of the lack of sex. I mean I love him and all but I just don't want to have sex like if we don't have any that morning he catches an attude and thats the whole day. Like I try so do it but it hurts and I feel like crap. It's not because of him cause he find me attractive I just dont find me attractive. I feel bad for him but I can't do anything.

Wow
- Most of the responses I've read from the men have been flat out embarrasing. My wife is 19 weeks pregnant with our first child and we were on pelvic rest (no sex at ALL) until about a month ago. Now that we are able to have sex again, she doesn't really feel like it (still trying to find a good pregnancy position if anyone has any good advice). While it is extremely frustrating for me, I love my wife and would not want to put her through something that she doesn't want to do just so I can "relieve some stress". Plus, it's pretty much a waste of time for me if she doesn't enjoy it too. So, for you guys that say you "love" your wife or gf but are trying to justify cheating on her for going through something that is normal that YOU played a major role in creating... grow up and learn what loving someone really means. If you married her only for sex then this is probably going to be the first of many wakeup calls for you.

My Dear Husband
- Im 29 weeks and hate sex at the moment. We used to have sex multiple times a day. However, now it hurts and I just fake through it. We usually only have sex 2 maybe 3 times a week now. I just do it for him though. Any other time I just stick a video game in front of him and he is content. Reading these comments makes me disappointed in people. Men, there is never an excuse to cheat. And women, there is no need to ignore your husband. It's only nine months of your life, is it really worth throwing away a lifetimes relationship over sex? There has to be more reasons you're with your partner than just sex.

No sex
- I do everything for my wife. Make breakfast, clean the house. Pay all the bills. Give her massages. Make bubble baths for her. But as a man how am I supposed to just suck it up and hold back using my penis for 9 months. I didn't get married to the love of my life to jerk off so which ever woman said that is an ignorant idiot and doesn't understand men at all. My wife doesn't want to do anything with me throughout her whole pregnancy. Then when the baby is born it will be hard to find time for sex too. How is a man supposed to go a year plus with no sex when most of our relationship was expressed through sex. I would like an answer from a man seeing as the women sound completely biased and will never understand so I am not interested in what a woman has to say regarding my issue. Please help. I would never want to cheat, but I can't deal with this either.

scum of society
- Wow...most of the men that have responded here are bottom of the barrel. I loved reading the ones that call their pregnant wives selfish, or the ones that talk about their shattered relationships and changed feelings, but the icing on this cake was reading about the men saying they are more inclined to cheat. Yes. How dare we be so selfish as to grow a human life inside our bodies for 9 months and selfishly deny your physical needs. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. You were lucky enough to find a woman to carry your child who most likely wants to spend the rest of her life with you and you call her selfish or want to cheat or think about other women while she bares your child?? Being pregnant is the hardest thing I've ever done and it certainly does not get my motor running. I have a patient loving husband who would go to the moon and back for his family amd understands that I hurt. He doesnt want to put me in anymore pain even for "2 minutes". That's a real man.

well then...
- Okay i have 12wks left of pregnancy. Me and my husband still stayed sexually active. But there were times i did not feel sexually active. Mainly because my breast are heavy and sensitive. My vagina feel sore often and not to even start on the contractions!. Men you have needs yea,but tell me do you want ur penus penatrated while with holding a large mass pyshing ur organs left and right? I live my husband and do all i can for him,but if he has needs i tell him its called porn and his hand. Men if u think of cheating then ur not worthy to even be a dad. For at the end you will be the one ur child will question on why you hurt their mommy.the mommy in which suffered horrible pain to bring them to this world. And every pregnancy is different many women stay sexual and others don't. So men suck it up ur not the one with the crazy hormone changes. Just watch porn or admit u can't b a man and handle the babys arrival.

i hear you...
- I am 8 months pregnant and since month 1 I can only have sex about 1 time a week.. and when I do have sex its not enjoyable.. it hurts like I'm ripping down there. My boyfriend gets so irratated and moody after 3 days without it. I say sex is out the window for the rest of my pregnancy.. I hope it goes back to normal after I have this baby..
- —Guest alanna
Its hard for both
- One thing i forgot to mention, if you think its Harder for the women than the man then your being foolish... the amount of mental stress that the man has to go through is not more or less difficult than the womens, its just different... NO! you will not understand how difficult it is for us, just like we wont for you. But that is why we do anything for you.. because we have no way of understanding the difficulties. so why dosn't it work both ways? Are you a man? NO.. so dont act like you understand about our need for sex. Im not acting like i understand pregnancy. Just Think of it from there point of view too, not just your own.
