riding the camel

Okay, I said I wouldn't go there, but here I am-going there...
Sex when your pregnant is a real bummer. For both parties involved. The woman (who is generally the pregnant one) can't really let go of her inhibitions, for there is a stream of inner monologue going on that sounds like this, "ouch, I can't breathe, oh my heartburn is killing me, i think you're poking the baby in the head, did you know I've already gained 20 pounds? why aren't you looking at me? do you think we should name him Ozzy? I wonder what the weather will be like today, can you feel anything? I can't feel anything, do I look fat, etc..." i can only imagine his inner monologue. "God, you're fat, can you feel anything? I can't feel anything, etc..." Why do people always say that their pregnant wives are totally horny? I'd describe it more as totally sleepy, or totally hungry, or even totally achy, but not horny. And then there's our 2 yr. with her telepathic sex sense who calls "mama" from the next room the minute I get my panties off. And then I try to talk her through it, mid-coitus, which is a huge turn on. "Oh yeah baby, mommy will be right there, do it, harder, you're a big girl, you don't need that binky, faster, it's on your nightstand right next to your appy juice, mommy's coming, no I was talking to her, etc. Anyway, only a few more months and then there's the joy of the post-pregnancy sex (ouch it feels like knives poking me, etc)...

I have an inner monologue like that during sex pregnant or not. I imagine pregnant sex being really beautiful, but yeah, it's probably just awkward and painful.

Hard to give the baby the binky when daddy is giving you the binky.
