Differing Sex Drives
Quote From: wsrchickI am 22 weeks pregnant. According to every pregnancy book I've read, my sex drive should increase during the second trimester...well, I'm almost done with the second trimester and it's done anyting BUT increase! I can't seem to orgasm during sex. My husband thinks it's his fault even though I tell him it's the pregnancy. I just feel generally uncomfortable, tired, and just not into making love. Truthfully, I think that another reason is that my husband has gained some weight lately and his belly and my belly get in the way. It's not that I don't want sex at all, it's just that I don't want it every day or even every other day. Once a week would be enough for me!
Is this normal? Have any of you had the same experience? Any advice? My advice to you is if your love for one another is strong enough, you'll get through it. My husband and I have been together for fifteen years and have been through a lot. Used to have sex two three times per day and now lucky if it is once per week. We had two kids and went through what you're going through now. The longer we've been together and learned some things, the better our relationship gets. The love just keeps getting stronger. I'd have to say that communication is the most important thing. It is normal and you both have to have open honest conversation about it. Doesn't help either of you to keep feelings bottled up, it only comes back to haunt you later. Being intimate with one another does not always have to mean sex.
