Non-Existent Sex Drive

Hey ladies,

I'm wondering if anyone else has or had the same problem that I'm currently facing, and I could use some advice. since i fell pregnant, my sex drive just plummeted to the point where I dont want to have sex at all. There's been a few instances where I tried and ended up just doing things for my partner rather than having anything to do with me because I just don't want to. I'm still attracted to my partner, I think he's the best, but I am currently so disinterested in sex that it annoys me. My partner has been amazing through it all and doesn't expect anything and keeps reassuring me that I don't need to do anything I don't want to and that he understands but my heart breaks for him a little.

I'm 34 weeks and it's still like this. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to manage this?

This was me my whole pregnancy. I learn that sometimes pregnancy give u an increase drive while other times there is none. I’m 6 months pp and I’m still not 100% where I was before pregnancy. Ot happens. I was doing it for my partner also instead of myself. It’s okay mama. Hopefully you’ll get ur drive back after birth

I can also relate I’m 34 weeks as well 🤣
I just can’t be bothered. Also it’s not exactly comfortable.
As long as your partner is understanding that’s the main thing x

thank you, I thought it was just me and I was going absolutely nuts over this! X

@Jasmine he is, I just can't help but feel awful 😅 x

Naah girl I hated sex especially when the baby dropped it became painful so I was even more turned off from it

I was like this my entire pregnancy with my first born. It came back post partum 🤣

It’s weird isn’t it because I’m sure pregnancy makes me MORE attracted to my hubby and yet I have zero energy for sex 🤷🏻‍♀️

100% - also after my first it never returned pre baby. It’s hard, just make sure you have an understanding husband!!!

Honestly I don't really understand how anyone can be in the mood. I'm tired, sore and exhausted. Most days I'm so overstimulated looking after a nearly 18mo old. Also I find it really hard to focus when the baby is kicking the whole way through 😂

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
