Pregnant - DP lost sex drive

[Crapname]

I'm sure this is a reasonably common problem. I'm 6 months pregnant and DP won't have sex with me, or engage in anything beyond kissing. We have discussed it and he has lost his sex drive as he finds the idea that there is a baby growing inside me weird and uncomfortable and thinks it unfair (on the baby) to have sex. I would love a good seeing to don't feel quite as strongly but I can empathise with the 'weirdness' plus my expanding waist means it would be increasingly difficult.

I'm happy to masturbate to fulfil my needs in the meantime but he doesn't want to. To explain a little more he had an issue with porn in the past, he has resolved this so far and hasn't looked at any for 4 years but I think he worries that wanking would lead to seeking more stimulation and eventually a return to porn. I worry the lack of any sex or masturbation is unhealthy and would either lead to psychological problems or a return to the porn especially as it may be a few months after the baby arrives before our sex life returns to anywhere near normal. He insists he is ok but frustrated.
Anyone any thoughts or similar experiences?

Do these blokes forget how exactly women get pregnant in the first place ?

You place your penis in her vagina and wiggle it around. It feels mutually nice. A bit of baby gravy comes out and travels a relatively long way until it meets the egg. No one gets hurt. A developing baby doesn't live in the vagina, it is surrounded by layer upon layer of strong muscle and cushioned by litres of fluid. This is elementary sexual reproduction chat.

Use your fucking brains

I'm in a similar situation OP. He knows that there is no reason for it but it feels "weird" to him. He is affectionate, loving, attentive,tells me how beautiful I am; but seems to have a bit of a mental block. TBH he has a quite low sex drive anyway so isn't feeling very frustrated nor do i worry going somewhere else to get his kicks (like porn for example). I wouldn't force the issue as if I told him I wasn't comfortable having sex I would expect him not to try and push the issue. I just masturbate when i feel like it. When the baby comes things will go back to normal.

My DH went off sex when my bump was big and the baby was obviously wriggling around at about 25 weeks. He said it felt wrong, like there was a third person in the room or that the baby might get squashed. I was a bit hurt and disappointed.

Things went back to normal when the baby was 3 months old and I'd healed and felt my body was my own again.

It seems that some men are really turned on by pregnant b

Bodies and others aren't.

So have these men also lost the use of their tongues and fingers?

Well, that is not relevant, Jean obviously

Because that might be about the woman's pleasure

What the hell are you thinking ?

True. Actually there's a lot to be said for sending women away for their period of confinement isn't there?

Its common. My friend's gf was pregnant and they were told to have sex to break her waters, he said no because he didn't want it to hit the baby's head and hurt the baby. Obviously, this is a myth which was debunked. But a lot of men are either turned on, or off, by pregnancy. I can't get my head round it! I know I'd be very hurt if dp turned around and said "I can't have sex with you because theres a baby inside you"

men need to use their brains.

The only time DW wanted sex over her pregnancy was to encourage labour. I didn't fancy being used as a tool-of-induction.

Everyone's different...
