How is the human desire during pregnancy?

We have seen, the desire and libido of the mother varies during pregnancy, and depends on many things, which makes it difficult or impossible to predict accurately what he will.

Spontaneously, one might be led to believe that it is in women that changes will occur and will affect the couple's sexuality. But it appears increasingly that many women face the changes of man in this area. Now that sex during pregnancy is no longer a taboo, it is not uncommon to see women say they feel lost to the reactions of the future dad, they do not recognize.

Of course, in the case of man, everything is played on a psychological level, given that apart from a few rare cases where the dad is the couvade, there is no physiological change in the body of it thereof.



Here everything depends on what happens in his head, consciously or unconsciously, and to generalize is even more difficult perhaps than for women. For some, there will be no change, others will live up or down their libido, others will be more tender than passionate ... All scenarios are possible. And, upon announcement of the pregnancy.

When the news hits, if the pregnancy was strongly desired by both prospective parents, the joy is often very strong. This child is the fruit of love, and as the symptoms of pregnancy do not disturb the mother, this is somehow a second honeymoon, which offers the couple. More love than ever, hugs are common.

Conversely, it may disrupt the glad tidings of man and that he has other things on his mind than the desire of his partner. This can last longer or shorter, as the dad did not find a certain serenity. Fears that may assail can reduce his libido at its lowest.

But most often, the first quarter is a period where you can feel a little frustrated because the little annoyances of pregnancy can calm the libido of the mom and dad will just hungry.

During the second quarter, the bass starting to show for good. The breasts of the mother gaining volume, not indifferent to some men. Like the belly. In addition, the mother will usually full and radiant with happiness, will feel more beautiful than ever and maybe his libido will be the highest, making it even more desirable in the eyes of his companion.

Conversely, the fact of seeing the woman becoming a mother can stop dead libido the future dad. It no longer sees the woman but only the mother. It is for him a sacred image without any sexual connotation. It can consider the simple idea to consider as a sin hugs. For him, a pregnant woman does not touch. The reason for this should probably be sought in the influence of our culture in which sexuality was taboo during pregnancy.

Other men may still have "fear" of the mother's libido if it is exacerbated. Especially if it was lukewarm to the idea of cuddling before. They feel attacked somewhere, do not recognize the mother. Have the feeling of no longer run the show can make them lose their means.

It is also possible that this is the way of life and his desire to demonstrate that changes. Without the libido is falling, it may be that the dad expresses his desire by caresses, tenderness, without wanting or fleeing coitus.

There are also those who, through lack of information, fear of hurting the child, or who think that sex should be banned for health reasons. Again, unless your doctor tells you explicitly prohibited, you can continue without fear almost until delivery.

It may happen that one represses his desire through being pushed more or less kindly by the mother. Same thing if you have time and again heard men and women say that, during pregnancy, sexuality is bracketed because the woman has no desire. Consciously or unconsciously, it may be necessary to say that the best way not to be frustrated is to have no desire. It is important to be careful not to get into a vicious circle, and if necessary seek help. As often, the dialogue will be important. You must express your desires and frustrations, without it degenerating into an argument, to prevent from becoming create a situation of tension that can cause significant problems within the couple.

In late pregnancy, it is difficult to find comfortable positions that can cool the ardor of some future dad. But a little patience and imagination should be sufficient to overcome the obstacle.

Of course, whatever your reaction, you should also consider that of the mother. In this field perhaps more than in the other.
