Need for Sex

Need for sex

Is it possible to say something general about such an intimate thing as the desire for sexual intimacy? Yes, if you keep in mind that we are talking about generalized, average data, which may well diverge from your own experience, without raising concerns that something wrong is happening to you or your partner. Masters and Johnson, two American sexologists, note that in the first three months of pregnancy, sexual activity in women decreases. For many, this is a logical consequence of fatigue, depression, nausea, in short, those unpleasant sensations that accompany the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

But after these weeks, most women experience a period of sexual flourishing. Even those who have never experienced an orgasm in the past are experiencing it for the first time, and some even experience several orgasms during one sexual act.

This increased sexual activity is due in part to hormonal changes. Blood circulation in the breasts and tissues in the vaginal area increases, thereby increasing their sensitivity. More vaginal discharge appears, causing you to experience sexual arousal faster and more intensely.

Around ten weeks before giving birth (as well as in the first weeks after birth), many women become more vulnerable and feel depressed. At this time, you especially need support, but, trying to withdraw into yourself and isolate yourself from others, you do not receive it.

There is something surprisingly sensual about a pregnant belly. It is extremely pleasant to stroke a round, elastic belly, to see how it changes its shape, to follow the movements of the little one with your hands. It is very important to be together these days, treat each other with warmth and attention.
