No Pregger Sex	comment	Most pregnant women in the modern Western world are sexually active throughout pregnancy but you wouldn’t know that from depictions in popular media. Once a woman becomes pregnant she also becomes untouchable. Why? Because people are grossed out that her partner's penis might touch the baby. Pregnancy Obviously Does Not Work That Way. Not only is this just impossible, but it's utterly ridiculous. The womb and the vagina are separated by the cervix, one of the toughest and thickest muscles in the body and one that remains firmly closed until the mother goes into labour. Even if it were not, the developing fetus is covered by a tough membrane. Outside of the issue of damage to the baby, however, a rather more practical issue can arise: comfort. Depending on how far along the pregnancy — and thus the development of the fetus — is, both partners may find themselves having to navigate a potentially rather large and heavy obstruction on the woman's part, which can make it difficult to find a position that is comfortable and satisfying for both partners. (Not to mention mood swings, persistent vomiting, fatigue, and various other aches and pains that can crop up throughout gestation, which are rarely constant but typically always present.) It's certainly not impossible to do so, however. Some people have dedicated a large amount of time to thinking about this, as people can be horny devils — sometimes even thanks to the pregnancy; the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can increase the mother's sex drive, and some men find appeal in proof of their virility. Finally, sex during pregnancy can be a change of pace, as couples may become stuck between the stressful business of attempting to conceive and the stressful business of attempting not to conceive. If the woman is already pregnant, both concerns are finally off the table. For others, especially men in fiction, the issue isn't physical but emotional. Since babies are seen as pure and innocent creatures, and sex can be considered sinful or dirty, the collision of these two feelings can leave some men uncomfortable about the idea of a sweet little baby being right there, which is somewhat ironic when you consider that sex is (probably) how the baby got there in the first place. A similar problem happens with the Madonna-Whore Complex, in which mothers are pure and innocent and Sex Is Evil. And woe to the couple that must face both at once. Historical characters may have a different viewpoint. Before roughly the late 18th century not much was known about fetal development; in early modern England, for instance, it was commonly believed that women didn't menstruate during pregnancy because the fetus grew by feeding on her menstrual fluid. Sex during pregnancy was thought to harm the baby by contaminating the fluid with semen, but in addition was also thought to harm the man by exposing him to the 'unclean' fluid. A character in Elizabethan England will likely care more about protecting himself than 'bumping the baby'. In other cultures, it is believed that a pregnant woman must have regular sex in order to build the baby's bones and muscles. In at least one culture, it's required that she have sex with multiple partners (not usually at the same time), and each of those partners is equally seen as the child's father.

Hank vetoes the idea, since getting proper medical care would be difficult if something went wrong, and later has to discourage her and her husband from having sex because of it. Quoth the husband: "I had no idea sex led to childbirth. (beat) That Came Out Wrong."

No Pregger Sex / int_20098ea4	comment	Patrick from Coupling claimed to have had sex with a pregnant woman, who he had no trouble finding sexy. This squicked Sally immensely, rather derailing what had been her attempts to assure Susan (pregnant) and Steve that pregnant women were beautiful and sexual activity involving them was also beautiful and natural. Steve is equally squicked and explains that sex with pregnant women is taboo, but that he's allowed to have sex with Susan since he's the one who "taboo-ized" her. Sally's squick is signalled to the viewer as irrational given that she wants to have a baby, and the scene ends with Patrick and Sally huffy with each other because she wants to be pregnant and he finds pregnant women sexy... and neither of them appears to realise that this is the ideal situation for them.

One of the fetuses is several weeks younger than the other. The woman's boyfriend is upset, as they temporarily split up for a few weeks after she told him she was pregnant, and she ended up having sex with another guy, figuring she couldn't get pregnant again. Eventually, the boyfriend comes around and agrees to raise both children as his own.

He says the image "torments" him, but he keeps going anyway. Given that he knows he is shagging her (in a toilet at said dead brother's funeral!) to get back at his hated brother anyway, the image just serves to highlight his self-aware degradation.

Even though Christian has sex with her later on to help reduce her tension. The implication is that Christian freaks out because the clerk has a pregnancy fetish, which makes Christian "sick" for having sex with women to whom he's attracted. Considering that Christian is The Casanova, this helps solidify his position as being a giant hypocrite. Christian and Gina also try having sex at one point, with great difficulty due to the large, hard baby belly between them. It's a rare light scene in their ridiculously melodramatic relationship.

No Pregger Sex / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible: In the gospel of Matthew, Joseph discovers that not only is his future wife Mary pregnant, but she is carrying a child conceived of the Holy Spirit, who will be the future Savior of mankind, Jesus. So Joseph totally holds off on consummating the marriage with Mary until after the child is born. Some churches (including the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox churches) even believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary, which is the idea that Joseph never had sex with his wife even after the birth of Jesus (this has no direct Biblical support, and creates problems like, "then where did Jesus's brothers come from?", but the churches which hold to this dogma are quite insistent).

When the instructor asks the class about their sex life the American dads are very quick to insist they haven't been having any, while the Europeans start miming the positions they've been doing.

No Pregger Sex / int_c1bf1af4	comment	In one episode of Two and a Half Men, Berta's pregnant daughter Naomi is visiting, and is quite clearly arousing Alan. When Charlie asks him what the Hell, he intimates that he and Judith had the best and most frequent sex of their marriage while she was pregnant with Jake, leaving him with an innate attraction to pregnant women. Charlie assumes that this explains Jake's grades, and then weighs in on the subject of sex with pregnant women with "Once there's a bun in the oven, I no longer feel the need to butter it." Later in the episode, Jake wonders if having sex with a pregnant lady means she'll have twins. When Alan confirms that that isn't how it works, Naomi adds that "Otherwise I'd be havin' a whole damn litter!" When Alan had to explain why he was aroused by the pregnant Naomi, he also comments on how Judith's hormones made her crave sex more leading to one of the funniest lines Alan has ever said:

Pepper seems to be more than amenable to this.

No Pregger Sex / int_d2e2ca76	comment	The George Lopez Show danced all the way around it. Angie got a false positive on a pregnancy test but later found out she wasn't pregnant. However, because George was so excited about the baby and was being so loving and attentive, she decided to try and get pregnant as quickly as possible to keep him from finding out. Unfortunately, after seeing a very-realistic 3D ultrasound on the internet (which he thought made the baby look like some kind of freaky alien,) George is so creeped out by knowing the baby is right there, he's turned off from the idea of sex for a while.

The first, part of a behind-the-scenes series about their real relationship on the show, has him having a dream about this (they were separated during her pregnancy). The second has her pregnant again after they've reconciled and the only anxiety comes from her, afraid that he won't find her attractive because of how big she's getting, but he assures her otherwise.
