Sex during pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Writing to you from my own experience, sex can be enjoyed right to the end of

term.

Kindly suggest how long (till which month) can sex be enjoyed during

pregnancy...

Having addressed this issue by you, from a woman's standpoint, it is equally

important to look from a man's standpoint as well as from the standpoint of both

of them.

it is possible that the husband has an urge to have sex and the woman does not.

She may yield to his desire or she may totally abhor it. Waiting for 9 months to

have sex (after the delivery)may be ok by some men, but may be not by some one

else's needs.This may lead either to a mutual compromise ( best result ), or man

seeking some one else ( bad result ) or total family disintegration ( worst

result ). It should be borne in mind that sex during pregnancy can be dangerous,

and may lead to injury or even loss of the embryo / fetus if done

violently.Gentle persuasion and gentle approach is recommended.

Re: sex in pregnancy

 

dear Timlu

 

in some traditional cultures there is a prevailing belief that when

women are pregnant they are too "fragile" or "pure" to have sex - of

course this is patriarchal nonsense, similar to the old beliefs that a

menstruating women is dirty, dulls knives, wilts flowers, sours grapes

and makes dogs go rabid

 

different women will display different proclivities during their

pregnancy: for some, sex is a total turn off; for others, sexual desire

is really only strong during certain periods of the pregnancy; whereas

for yet still others, they find their sexual appetite increased - my

rule of thumb is that I leave it up to the woman, as she is the best

judge of what her needs are
