using dolphins as sex toys ,does the rspca know ? would that not make him come quicker as opposed to waiting for you ? confused

That dolphin looks scary! I'm I really naive?

My partner and I shagged like rabbits during my pregnancy. As long as the position you choose doesn't squash the baby and you don't use petroleum based lubricants you should be fine. Don't worry about using a condom either - we didn't and my baby was 10 days overdue (despite a ridiculous amount of sex ;) ).

DetentionGrrrl · 02/11/2006 18:48

Toys are fine as long as they are clean (so to speak!)

I had the best sex when i was pregnant

TheDaVinciCod · 02/11/2006 18:49

oh barf at cock ring
ill

orgasm safe & sex safe generally unless you have an 'irritable' uterus or your waters have broken or you have had bleeding.

( i am not as much fun as the other postees am i???)

whatever position is comfortable & achievable !!

and due to increased blood flow to your lady bits..should be ,much more enjoyable...... the prostoglandins in semen will help ripen your cervix at the end of pregnancy , so not a worry really...

If you think about it this way sex during pregnancy isn't "normal" (I'm using that word very carefully...I know it's Ok and normal but IYWIM)

We, as humans, are a species of animal. In the animal kingdom once a femail is PG no other male animal mates with her because she's already creating another one of that species. It's once she'd given birth that the male mate with her again.

I hate the idea of sex ATM and haven't had any nookie since I was about 5 weeks.
It was DH who said the animals and sex thing the other day and I thought is was quite a good point.

Do the great apes have sex when the female is pregnant? They certainly masturbate and have sex for fun.

divastrop · 02/11/2006 21:16

if other animals only have sex for the purpose of mating,then why are there gay dogs??!!

any form of excersise when you are pregnant is good

2ndtime · 02/11/2006 22:02

If we weren't designed to have sex whilst preggers how come I was so rampant? It was definately the best sex I ever had. Poor DH.
