Hi,
I don't really know how to word this so it makes sense, but I would like some advice.
I have always thought that I was wired wrong because I have never been the most sexual person (not since my teens to now). Especially compared to friends who are very open about their experiences in bed and how much they enjoy sex. My mum never gave me the sex talk growing up (what to expect, masterbation etc) so I don't know if that's part of the reason why I never cared for sex and except for very limited lessons from health classes in school, sex was not discussed much. I had to find things out by myself.
I have never spoken to a medical professional regarding my feelings around sex because I have never felt the need to.
Unless my partner at the time was in the mood for sex, I can live without sex. I don't find it appealing or arousing. It didn't matter what they did, I never cared for sex.
Having said that I have felt 'sexual' but these moments happen once every three to four months or so and I can take care of it and then I'm fine and I don't have any other sexual feelings for ages.
However, since I was just over 6 months pregnant (I am 8 months pregnant atm), I am having more sexual thoughts, which are almost daily. I have read that some women have an increase or a decrease in feeling sexual during their pregnancy because of their hormones, feeling nauseous and other reasons.
I don't know if it's normal or abnormal with how I'm feeling. None of my friends have mentioned feeling this way during their pregnancies. Is having such an increase in sexual thoughts OK? Do I need to speak to someone or can I decrease these feelings?
I personally don't like feeling this way because the feeling is very foreign to me.
I don't know if it matters, but I am not with the father.
Thank you!
