14 Ways Pregnant Sex Is Different Than Other Sex, According to Guys

By the time you or your partner get pregnant, you're probably pretty well-versed at sex — for obvious reasons. But by the second and third trimesters, pregnancy can throw a monkey wrench into that routine in a variety of ways. Here's how guys really feel about sex with their pregnant partners.

1. "In the early stages, it's really not different. But once you feel your baby kick for the first time, you become much more aware that there's another human being hanging out in there while you're humping away. It's something that … well, you just can't think about it." —Dave, 29

2. "It's fine. I thought it was going to be weird, but it isn't. You just can't do certain positions once you're nearing the end of the pregnancy. My wife did stop it a few times though because she felt the baby start to move, so … there is that." —Christopher, 31

3. "I'm not going to lie. I think pregnant women are really, really hot. I don't know that I have a fetish or anything … I don't watch pregnancy porn. But I was really into my wife when she was pregnant." —Adam, 28

4. "There were certain positions we couldn't do anymore, but also my fiancée's boobs got bigger. I'll take that trade." —Kevin, 30

5. "This isn't so much the sex itself, but it's a roller coaster of hormones. Some weeks, my girlfriend was just tired all the time and not [interested in] sex at all. Other weeks, she was insatiable." —Jason, 27

6. "I was neurotic. I honestly had a really tough time because it was hard for me not to think about the baby being in there. Eventually, if you haven't had sex in a while, you sort of hit a point where you're too horny to care." —Max, 30

7. "The doctors will tell you the baby can't feel it. Every book, every blog will tell you the baby can't feel it. And yet, every time we had sex, I had to remind myself that 'it's OK, the baby can't feel it.'" —Sam, 31

8. "I'm not even saying this to brag, but I swear to God, one time, I think my dick touched the placenta. Or something. It touched something." —Anthony, 33

9. "I don't think a lot of guys realize that it really won't be as weird or different as they think. There's definitely some adjustments and some weird, fumbling moments. But it's not something to stress about." —Tyler, 30

10. "Your partner might wind up feeling really self-conscious about her body. Then she also might wind up feeling really horny. There's a tightrope to walk there, especially when she wants to have sex but is also nervous even though she shouldn't be. Just keep that in mind." —Shaun, 29

11. "This isn't really sex-related, but something I didn't think about was that toward the end of the pregnancy, I had to shave my wife's pubes for her. She couldn't see down there anymore. That was a weirdly intimate experience that I just didn't expect." —Michael, 29

12. "It's going to be weird. Just accept that going in. Your wife's body is going to be different. Your son or daughter is in there. I think people try and downplay it because they don't want to look like assholes. But you both have to go into it knowing that it's fucking weird. Accept it." —Zach, 30

13. "The first time I felt the baby kick was during sex. It was a while before we had sex again." —Jon, 31

14. "The last month or two of pregnancy involved lots and lots of pillows. Those were interesting times. I also wound up doing a lot of the work. No complaints here though." —TJ, 32
