SEX DURING PREGNANCY 3
Several myths about sexual intercourse in pregnancy need to be exposed, as they are not true. The first is that the penis thrusting in the woman’s vagina may cause an abortion. The second is that penile thrusting in late pregnancy may damage the baby, break the ‘bag of water’, introduce infection, or lead to premature labour. None of these dangers is real. The third is that if a woman has an orgasm when pregnant it will injure the baby or start labour prematurely. This is also untrue, although some obstetricians prohibit sexual intercourse in late pregnancy if the woman has previously had premature labours.
Of course, both partners may choose methods of sexual gratification other than sexual intercourse, and still obtain as much pleasure. A woman who is not particularly aroused may prefer to help her husband to have an orgasm by stimulating his penis with her hand or by sucking it. Or she may prefer to enjoy sex by asking her husband to stimulate her clitoral area with his fingers or tongue, rather than having sexual intercourse. If she prefers cunnilingus, the man should not blow into her vagina (which increases sexual excitement for some women) during pregnancy, as some pregnant women have died after this action. However, cunnilingus, without blowing in the woman’s vagina, is safe and enjoyable.
