Can't Get Turned On

frogz13 · October 2014

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and am craving sex, but no matter what my husband and I try to do I can't get turned on. It's extremely frustrating to continually feel unsatisfied when I want it so badly. Does anyone else have this problem?

People want to have sex in the 3rd tri?

Mind blown

I am 33 weeks and have not had any interest in sex what-so-ever. I'm just in too much discomfort to enjoy it. I won't tell my husband though!! Haha. I've gotten really good at faking it. :-p I've never had to before, and I'm looking forward feeling like my normal self one day! I'm sure your troubles will pass as soon as you recover from birth.

I'm not sure I understand, isn't wanting sex and your husband being turned on? What specifically is the issue?

This is where I'm at... :-/

Do you mean you can't orgasm?

I have the same question. How can you be "craving sex" if you're not even in the mood?

I'm 27+ weeks and want sex all the time. It's getting harder to O (Idunno why, it takes longer and a lot more work), and we have to use lube, but usually it's FI that is 'too tired' to do anything. That is what is frustrating me now.

This makes no sense.

So what I'm gathering is that you feel the urge to have sex but when you start it's just not happening & you're not reaching an orgasm. Have you tried the others suggestions of lube or other positions? You're 30 weeks pregnant it's not going to happen every time. I'm 28 weeks, have 2 other school aged kids, work full time & have a house I'm organizing & packing to get moved before baby comes at New Years. Sex isn't everything. It's nice but not everything. Try a romantic date, a back massage, watching a movie together, try a hobby.

I understand. I haven't found the answer yet so let me know if you do.

I get what you are saying, as I am in the same boat. However, we are both tired and stressed so we don't do it too often anyways. It is what it is. Lube helps some, but most of this pregnancy I haven't O'ed. It did bother me, but I'm accepting it now- pregnancy messes with you and that's all there is to it. Besides it won't be long until it is the furthest thing from your mind.

Wanting sex and not getting turned on are not the same thing. We don't have sex often, in fact it was over a month since the last time we tried. In which I did get turned on, but didn't orgasm. We've experimented, used lube, different positions, more foreplay, gone out on dates, massages, etc. Typically the quality time, date night, massages, etc are enough for my intimacy needs. Lately though it's like I want to be more intimate and have sex, but I can't get going. Not having an orgasm isn't an issue, it's the fact that whenever my husband kisses or touches me it has the same feeling equivalent to my mom hugging me. That's the problem...

I can understand this. I think hormones play into this a lot. My husband and I have sex about once a week now and I can say, I really just love having sex because it kinda hits the "Reset" button. I find it hard to concentrate right now and be all intimate because lets face it, I am big and my belly gets in the way of a lot, so I am not able to wear my sexy lingerie and be all cute....when it comes down to it, we both love each other so much and have a great relationship even without the sex, but the act of having sex is very necessary for the both of us right now...physically and emotionally. At the end of the day, we both just need to get off (sorry TMI) and let the tension release. I figure it's probably going be a while until we have the sweet, intimate sex we used to have because we are about to have a baby, but any kind of sex is better than no sex right now IMO.
