Usually I love your open, honest, thoughtful advice, but what you said to Momma Violates Poppa, the sexually frustrated pregnant woman whose husband won’t sleep with her, was as cruel as what her husband’s doing to her. Yes, it’s possible that her husband’s just plain not turned on. But no sex with the love of her life for nine months? I think that deserves more than “Maybe you’re just too ugly for him right now, sweetie.” How about suggesting that they talk about it honestly and openly without strings or games? Seeing as how they’ve been married for five years, who better for him to open up to than her? –Honesty on Tap
I wouldn’t want to be trying to sleep in the apartment next door the night Mr. MVP opened up to Mrs. MVP. Face it, HOT, there are certain things men are not allowed to say to pregnant women (especially women they’ve impregnated), and “You don’t turn me on right now, honey” is at the top of the list.

It sounds like MVP needs to lay off with the maternity-sex PSAs and not try quite so hard. But Dan: “So tell your husband that nothing is expected of him over the next few months”–come on! Look, I know you boys can’t force an erection. However, just because he doesn’t immediately go sha-wing at the sight of her round belly doesn’t mean that he can’t be aroused by her, by oral sex, or at least by an adult video playing in the bedroom. And once he’s aroused, I’d say it’s more than likely that he can stay that way and have intercourse with her. –No Acronym
Thanks for your blunt answer to the pregnant woman. I just went through an identical experience. You were right: after the baby comes, sex goes back to its normal wonderful self, if at different times of the day.
