Sexless

Just wanted to know if im the only one who feels this way. Im 31 weeks pregnant and my bf has lost all interest in sex with me and pretty much any physical contact. Ive gotten to the point where i feel down right ugly and discusting. Its been about two weeks since we last had sex. And we havent kissed since last night.

I am also the opposite. I have been ducking sex with my husband for months now. I have no desire at all. I just want to eat and sleep. Whenever I do give in he is soooo excited. I dont feel attractive at all I just feel frumpy.

I will teach you a trick I learned. Cover up when he's around. Meaning don't show skin at all. If he's in the bedroom when you get out of the shower make ymsure you're all covered up. For some odd reason this makes them want to be physically intimate with you.  I have a friend who did this when she was pregnant because her hubby didn't want to be intimate and it worked.

I haven't ran into this problem. A few times he has said no but you could tell he was genuinely tired. We have sex quite often either one of us initiates, 4 or 5 times a week. Lol im almost 21w. My sex drive is crazy, I want it all day every day soon as I wake up I want it.

Instead of talking to him about it, why not just start to engage him. Start kissing him all over or go down on him for a bit. If that doesn't work then have him catch you masturbating. Men are sexual beings so once you turn them on, it's hard for them to say no. That's what I do with my husband. Ever since I've reached this 34th week of pregnancy, he doesn't want to have sex cause he's worried about the baby, but the mommy has needs!!! So once I get him worked up, thinking goes out the window and it's all action from there!

Plus two kids have always been my limit and any guy that comes along will have to understand that any more kids will not be from birth only by adoption or if I happen to marry someone whom has kids too

When.I.was pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago me and my babe quit having sex after 20 weeks. We weren't getting along either because I was extremely hormonal and we were both still very young,plus he said he didn't want to hurt the baby. It hurt my feelings when he didn't want to do anything with me and made me crazy. Now that im pregnant with our son now im 25weeks and he wants it more then I do most of the time. My libido is low but sometimes peaks where I want it but he don't. Don't feel bad a baby stirs up all kinds of mixed emotions in us and our partners.

Girl at first all I wanted was sex and I was always asking him for some. He will never say no to me but the fact that it was me that was starting it made me feel bad. I haven't had sex with him for two weeks and let me tell you the desire for him is less I feel bloated and scew my husband just realized that I won't putting my self down anymore asking him for sex. And yes his excuse is that his tired

I'm sure there's a technical name for it but a couple years ago my husband has issues. He wouldn't get an erection for nothing, not even when he would wake up. He hid it from me for a while with excuse after excuse. Til I figured out it wasn't even happening after sleep, I was so upset an felt like it was me. He wouldn't go to the doctor of course but after a month it went away on its own an he's been fine since then.
We still don't know what caused it or why, but maybe something like that is happening.

My husband stopped having sex with me for awhile. He said he didn't want to hurt me or the baby. It's our first baby. I talked it him about it because I felt the same way you did. He assures Mr it had nothing to do with me.

All men respond to our changing bodies differently. Its not that they dont find us sexy or attractive anymore. For some men they become afraid of hurting us or the baby. Sex is uncomfortable and weired for them to as our bellies grow. Be open and talk to him about it. He might be embarrassed with how he is feeling too. Good luck!

I wish I had the desire for sex but I dont get aroused at all. My fiance always wants it like 24/7 and I literally want to scream...im 19weeks. Dont feel down or ugly some guys are scared that they will hurt you or the baby. Keep your head up

Sorry to hear. :( My husband and I havent had sex for about 3 months now. He claims its cause he's always tired from working so much. Never stopped him before. Thankfully we stikk cuddle, kiss, etc... but sex (even oral) hasn't happened. I felt ugly and undesirable at first but since I'm pretty far in the pregnancy my drive went down too. It still gets me mad sometimes. Good luck.

It is the opposite for me, I don't want sexual at all but he can't keep his hands off me and I get pissed because he is always asking me for it.  To solve my problem I sent him home.
