Is this normal?

Is it normal for my husband to feel like all touching is sexual? Recently I was asking for more nonsexual touching, like cuddling and hugging etc, especially when I’m feeling touched out and exhausted and just want normal affection. He’s a very loving and doting husband and ofc wants to oblige, but he was like, “It’s difficult because you’re gorgeous and every kind of touch feels like it could lead there.“ Basically he was explaining that he gets turned on by me with any kind of touch, and it’s hard for him not to want more.

I acknowledge that after 7 years of marriage maybe this is the opposite of a problem 😂 But I feel like humans should be able to touch and cuddle without it always being a turn on??

I think ive defo seen online this is more normal for guys to be like this, but even if he does feel like this he could learn to wait for more sexual cues from you before trying to ramp up, and learn to not jump to making things sexual every time

Its definitely normal for him to get turned on by any kind of touching.

But..... that's a him problem, if he cant just hold you without wanting to initiate sex then he needs to chill. He can feel what he feels but he doesmt have to act on it every time.

Sometimes I say to my partner early in the night before we cuddle up I am not in the mood to have sex tonight, just to make sure we are on the same page. Sometimes I don't even want the hint or suggestion of sexual lmao

GBs positive at 36 weeks

Can anyone please share what they did when they tested positive? I’m devastated, I was planning a physiological birth and they told me if I’m positive I have to get antibiotics and be induced. This is my last birth I really wanted it to be natural I wanted to avoid antibiotics altogether, I’m beyond myself can’t stop crying
