2nd Trimester

How to feel sexy

this might seem super stupid but I just don't feel sexy or even pretty anymore. My husband is so sweet and always makes sure I know he loves me, but I want to be sexy for him. I have no idea how to. It's sad, a 27 year old should know how by now. Any ideas or advice would be great!

Re: How to feel sexy

  • You need to work with your new body. Flaunt the bump and the new curves and trust me, people DO notice and will give you a ton of positive attention - which helps you feel sexy :)

  • Sexiness comes from within!  Your body is doing amazing things and while it can be difficult to accept the new changes, try to embrace them!  Flaunt your new curves, dress yourself to accentuate your bump, and know that growing a life is a beautiful thing!
  • Just could not help reading this thread because I saw that someone named "mycousinvinny" was giving Sexy advice. :) and as a bonus, profile pic totally did not disappoint!

    One thing you could also try is going to a classy adult novelty store. Not the dusty out-of-the-way location with a raunchy name and a flickering neon sign. You can go yourself or with husband in tow. The women who wotk at these places are incredibly knowledgeable and pretty quick at assessing how vanilla/spicy a person or a couple us. Also very matter-of-fact and neutral so that it isn't embarrassing.
  • Shopping spree (within budget) for new body and a day of pampering for you will do wonders for your confidence. Whether that's a different hair style, nails, pedi, going for a hike, bubble bath or whatever relaxes you and makes you feel a boost in appearance, who doesn't feel pretty in a bubble bath with candles?....maybe pick up a new lotion, AND a sexy night item. I'm not a huge fan of lingerie, but that's a personal choice. MY go-to is a black silk kimono from Victoria's Secret. It's classy and silk feels great, so comfortable too.

    Half the time I don't even flaunt it to my husband, I buy a pretty new bra and underwear set and just know I'm rocking it under my clothes. You're making a human, you deserve to feel gorgeous all the time. I am also a sucker for a cute pair of shoes to jazz up my confidence.

    A good pair of shoes can change your life- Cinderella.
  • I have a pretty low libido... Self esteem issues although a lot of people are prob envious of my curves I just hate any extra weight and the pregnancy weight freaks me out. My husband and I had sex for the first time in several weeks (I've been very sick but also just uncommon for us to have sex often bc of my issues) but I was basically crying. The thought of being vulnerable or in any sort of lights made me so uncomfortable I just wanted to get it over with so bad. I love my DH, attracted to him, but cannot shake the feeling of even lower self esteem now that I'm pregnant and starting to show a little bit.

    Doesn't help that everyone is saying increased sex drive and mine is worse than ever :( help!
  • I try to prevent it from happening (although not always possible!) I make sure I keep all my regular appointments for waxing and the hair dresser- I feel amazing everytime I leave there! Im currently having major issues with breakouts so try to wear make up as much as I can although some morning I feel that sick/tired I really cannot be bothered!
  • This might sound weird but honestly at the end of working out or doing yoga makes me feel sexy. Just because I'm doing something for me. At first I had a hard time because we got pregnant on our honeymoon, so it was my first time even having sex and being sexy for my husband and then In my first trimester I was sick and exhausted. So I was sad that I lost that sexy feel as soon as I got it but I just learned how to feel beautiful with my body and with the bags under my eyes and all. It is a fun time for self discovery.
