I'm really starting to have issues in regards to sex in pregnancy. And I was wondering if anyone else had vaguely simular experiences?.
Me and my partner have never been exactly on simular wavelengths sexually, I have a naturally high drive and he has quite a low one. This caused issues in the beginning of the relationship however we sort of reached a middle ground. Where as I would naturally like to Dtd twice a week lets say, he would be content to do it once a month or less. We reached a middle ground where we didn't plan it but ended up making love about two or three times a month. We then got pregnant and if I'm honest my sex drive decreased a little. So much that since Christmas we have probably had sex once a month. I still miss the intimacy of it though but my boobs for example are my main sexual trigger point as I'm not comfortable with him giving me oral or touching me down there and they became very sensitive . And now lately they've started leaking a bit so I worry he'll be turned off .
My other issue with sex is I used to have no problem physically getting aroused enough for him to enter me, yet just after I got pregnant I had a smear and they found my cervix was a bit odd shaped - they had thought I had a polyp and attempted to remove it when they realised it was just a part of me. I had had issues before of it being painful when I wasn't wet enough during sex but had put it down to just friction. But at the time of my smear they told me that this weird shape could of been what was causing sex to have lately became more painful. They suggested lubrication etc if I was having issues still. The more pregnant I became the more I naturally produced wetness outside , yet during the act of penetration it would be uncomfortable as I didn't feel wet inside, if that makes sense?. Me nor my partner are slim and up until bump got bigger we regularly used missionary - varying it up with doggy sometimes. Missionary it was uncomfortable but because of the position It enabled me to be more "open" to him and It would only be uncomfy the first few moments. Then my bump got bigger and it's really difficult for us to do it now as he hasn't a small tum either. So doggy has become our usual position on the rare occasion we do it. However thanks to my arousal issues It is more uncomfy and painful at first. I cherish every time we make love but because I fear it hurting I feel myself close up as soon as it starts to be uncomfy and its making doggy almost impossible. He tries to arouse me beforehand but nothing can make me wet enough inside for it not to be tender.
I have tried to ask him about using toys or lube for me to get aroused enough that it is less painful but he feels he should be able to do the work rather than toys and that he hates the texture of lube. I think I'm being pretty understanding since I've never had an orgasm with him due to not being able to get the wetness and position right , yet when we make love he always does. All i want is to have nookie with him where it doesnt hurt and maybe i have one orgasm once in a while. He has tried making me wetter by spending more time on forplay or alternaing positions but its never worked.
When I bring up the fact he's not made me orgasm then he gets defensive and tells me he basically only has sex because I want it and that he enjoys doing it with me but he'd be fine not ever having sex(and I beleive he would) because its not important to me. Which of course makes me feel like I'm being a nympho all because I miss the intimacy of having an orgasm off a partner.
I'm sorry about the rant. If I've been too detailed please tell me I'm just really stuck on what I can do .
