Sex Positions If You Are With Child

Expecting mom's, dad's and couples always wonder if it's safe to have sex while with child. Well, yes. Yes, it is. But, as you probably figured, the physicality might need to be tweaked a bit for comfort for him and her. Here are some ideas for sex positions if you feel discomfort during sex.

Try using a chair. You sit and let him kneel in front of you. It's ideal if the chair is a little higher than your dude so he's pushing up instead of right on the tummy.

Do it side-lying. You lie on your left side, with him there on his knees. Put one of your legs in between his and the other over his. He enters from behind.

Entering from behind while you are on fours, also known as "Doggie style," this is easy access, men feel better their weight is not coming down on the belly, and they have a clear view of what is going on. 

Woman, get on top! Several moms-to-be proclaimed this the best position -- it keeps the belly completely out of the way and in your control.

On your back, but not lying down all the way -- you can prop yourself up with pillows. While he stands at the edge of the bed, put your legs on his shoulders or rest your feet on his knees. Comfy, and he does all the work.

Of course, whether or not you are in the mood is a whole other subject.  More info on hormones, body changes to come.  

3 Quick Ways to Spice Up Your Sex Life - Sex Therapy

Intimacy - physical and emotional - is essential for any long-term intimate relationship to succeed.  Our intimacy needs vary from each other, and thus do our relationships. The quality of your intimacy can determine the quality of your relationship. When our relationships flourish so do our lives.  

I hear too many complaints from couples who have been together for a long time and one partner or both either says, “I just don’t feel attracted to them [the other partner] anymore,” “I’ve lost my sex drive,” “My partner is just hornier than I am,” or just plain, “We don’t have sex anymore.”

1. The most important thing is communication.  I am not talking about simply petting the pink elephant in the corner of the room, by saying, “Oh, how cute,” or “Poor little starving pink elephant over there,” because believe it or not alot of couples actually talk and joke about the fact that they don’t have sex anymore, but no one is willing to do anything about it.  That is NOT communication.  That is placating the situation.  Someone needs to take the bull by the horns and start the chain of change. What this means is one person in the relationship needs to say “This is what I want from you, “ “this is what turns me on,” and “this is what I need,” and/OR, “Tell me what youneed/want/desire from sex.” The other person then must respond honestly, and genuinely both remembering that your partner is not a mind reader, and that this is a two way street.  READ: You must COMMUNICATE. Tell your partner what you want, need, desire, etc… If you do not, your partner will never be able to please you, which in turn can lead to imbalance, anger, resentment, isolation, depression, etc.. 

2. Initiate Change, Initiate Sex. I suggest that each partner initiate sex at least once a week. There has to be some meeting your partner half way.  The cards have to be balanced. 

3. Rise to the occasion, so to speak. You might be upset with your partner about any number of things (money, the children, chores) or even plain and simply annoyed at how your lover or partner is approaching you sexually, well here is your opportunity to change the downward spiraling cycle of your dwindling sex life by either responding to their initiation or by addressing what it is that is bothering you.  No game playing, no passive-aggressive beating around the bush because you are annoyed, upset, or bitter, these responses will only continue the cycle.  Take control of your sex life and your relationship today.
