Apparently my husband has absolutely no idea how the female body works!

[BigThunderMountainRailroad]

This happened last night and it honestly had me rolling about the place laughing.

My husband and I are expecting our first baby. I’m 21 weeks today. Our sex life since I’ve become pregnant has honestly been as good as ever. Passionate and loving a few times a week. Last night in bed I roll over and start “trying it on” as such and he gives me the cold shoulder. This has NEVER happened before so naturally I was worried, did he not find my pregnant body attractive any more? I press him on it and he doesn’t say a lot, all I get was “I’m just not in the mood”. I refuse to accept this so I press him more until he FINALLY admits he’s been reading the baby’s development week by week and he read that the baby learns to grab this week, they will start grabbing their ears, nose and umbilical cord..

Turns out he’s TERRIFIED the baby is going to grab his dick during sex!!! 😭😂 i could hardly breathe through the laughing to explain this isn’t possible!

My husband is honestly the most intelligent person I know, very well educated.. but I think he needs to go back and sit some secondary school biology lessons!!

Erm, you have three.......

My siblings and I were born in 1960, 1961, and 1970. While we began moving and kicking in the womb, Mom wanted Dad to feel us coming to life with a gentle touch to her tummy. My father refused, fearing he would cause a miscarriage. Though my mother was a registered nurse, he would not be dissuaded.

[mumsthewurd]

This is a thing. Some men can get v anxious about sex during pregnancy for all sorts of reasons. Maybe the "dick grab" was a bit of an off hand defence mechanism because he's just worried about the baby and all the changes.

Is this a wind up ?.

Yes I know we have three, wasn't counting anus. He thought we peed out off one hole and used tampons in same hole in the vagina

On the subject of men and sex ed... I’m a private tutor. Couple of years ago I had to disabuse a lovely 16-year-old boy of the notion that a foetus develops in a woman’s stomach (you know, the vigorously churning digestive organ full of hydrochloric acid).

I’m afraid I (and his mum, and his sister) couldn’t resist taking the piss out of him about that one 😆 I can definitely imagine him persisting in that belief for years if he hadn’t been having private tuition...

@AnneLovesGilbert

If someone says they’re not in the mood it’s best to respect that and leave them to it.

Absolutely. OP asked, pressed, continued to ask.. I get she wasn't used to being turned down but he's not a fucking machine!

@Lollol86

Omg all you going on about if he said no it means no, the op has clearly put he has NEVER done that before, if that was me I'd also want to know what had changed.

This is hilarious, you definitely made my night 😂😂

This.

Did I actually read a comment about the OP stealth boasting about her sex life, so ridiculous.

[BabyLlamaZen]

If he thought his penis could reach the baby then why was he OK having sex with you? 🤮🤮🤮

[FolkSongSweet]

My friend was shopping for a bikini to wear in the birthing pool for her hospital bag (first baby!) and her DH held up a one piece. She had to remind him that practically speaking it might not the best outfit to give birth in 🤣

[mrsBtheparker]

In Kitty Kelly's biography of Nancy Reagan she tells that Reagan's relationship with her daughter was awful and she told her daughter that at her birth she had held on to her mother's ribs to prevent being born!

He wasn't. That's the whole point of the thread.

I think he had just only read something that made him thinking this weird thought. I'm not only gobsmacked at the OP's DH but at some of the stupid comments some people are making.

[Echobelly]

Itseems quite common that blokes worry about the baby somehow 'feeling' sex happen. Not my DH, he was actually very keen on DTD when I was preggers!

[Keeping2ChevronsApart]

@Calabasa

the sanitary towel sticking to us and not our underwear is a common misconception.. there's a young black guy on tiktok who does videos explaining the 'mysteries' of the female body for guys his age, and he has one on this very thing.

The comment section is hilarious.

You can be intelligent and not know stuff like this if you've never been taught it and never thought to educate yourself on it.

Ignorance in a particular area doesn't make you stupid!

Black guy? Not just a guy??

[Megan2018]

I think it’s hilarious and I can guarantee that some of the brilliant academic minds I work with (HE sector) would think similar.
I’ve lost count of the number of bleeding obvious things I’ve had to explain to professors over the years including How to use email and How to buy a train ticket. I kid you not.
Brilliantly intelligent and yet thick as shit

[borntobequiet]

You wear a bikini in a birthing pool?
TBF such things didn’t exist in my birthing days, and I’m quite pleased they didn’t. Life is so complicated nowadays.

[borntobequiet]

I mean bikinis existed, not birthing pools. As far as I know.

My exh hadn't seen a women's genitals until I was in labour..
He was 43 with a degree.

How the hell did you get pregnant then?!?!”

Eyes and sight don’t lead to conception.

"Omg all you going on about if he said no it means no, the op has clearly put he has NEVER done that before, if that was me I'd also want to know what had changed."
This.
OP, it's brilliant. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Sorry you and your husband seem to have been piled on by many PPs.

That’s why I said first baby...obvs when it came to it she didn’t care at all what she was wearing 🤣

Surely it was his parents fault for not educating him correctly though? Why was the mum taking the piss out of him, when it was her fault that he didn't know?

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

If the OP didn’t press why the unusual refusal, she wouldn’t have found out the stupid reason behind it. Now she’s educated her husband and they can go back to shagging 🤷‍♀️
