Practicing sodomy while pregnant
During pregnancy, the couple’s sexuality can be disrupted. Hormones, which play on a roller coaster, strongly impact the libido of the pregnant woman. For medical reasons, vaginal sex may also be advised against by the gynecologist. For his part, the man can have psychological barriers (fear of hurting the baby, of touching him, etc.). For some couples, thesodomy therefore becomes an alternative, even for those who practiced little, or even who had never tried anal penetration.
As sexologist Gérard Leleu explains, “ there are no contraindications to practicing sodomy during pregnancy, except in cases of hemorrhoids of course. However, anal sex does not increase the risk of having it. And when the mother’s cervix is opened early or when there is a threat of bleeding, sodomy may even be indicated. But on one condition: the woman must be completely consenting ».
Indeed, if most often, it is the man who is asking for it, the desire must be mutual. ” The future mother must not give in for fear of being cheated for example. Each woman is free to choose and we must dare to say no. In fact, accepting reluctantly can cause resentment and further disrupt the intimate life of partners. », Specifies the sex therapist. And if it is true that ” sodomy is the result of submission, sometimes even a sadomasochistic conception in some men, during pregnancy, this act must take place in healthy psychological conditions and in love. »
Sodomy during pregnancy: softness above all
The first few times, the practice of sodomy can be painful for the woman. However, during pregnancy, even more than usual, it is important that the mother-to-be feels comfortable during the sexual act: ” hurting is never positive », underlines Dr Gérard Leleu. That is why man should be circumspect and very gentle. ” THEThe couple can use lubricants to allow progressive dilation of the anal sphincter “. Furthermore, “ it is important to start with the introduction of a finger before penetration. »Regarding the positions, it is better that the woman is above the man. ” She will be able to manage the depth of penetration and keep control over what she is able to accept. ” The teaspoon position, when both partners are lying on their side, can also be an option.
Pregnancy & sex: making love differently
As sexologist Gérard Leleu explains, vaginal or anal penetration is not essential to achieve orgasm. ” Blowjob, cunnilingus, mutual masturbation, caresses … there are plenty of other ways to make love and give pleasure to your partner. “While some couples may discover sodomy during pregnancy,” this practice is not necessarily synonymous with a rich form of sexuality. It is one of the things that people sometimes impose on themselves to follow the codes, the fashion», Explains Dr Gérard Leleu. Above all, future parents should listen to each other. And simple gestures can sometimes have much more effects than classic penetration or sodomy.
