Yeah, I Remember Sex





We almost had sex. We were coming to the part where the last strip of skimpy garment comes sliding off. The foreplay had been tried and tested true, when a sudden wailing pierced my ears. The Boy hates me. He won’t let use get naked.

When an exceedingly great length of time has passed without getting laid, a guy sometimes tends to offer a more intimately charged experience for his woman. He is more willing to spend extra time simply lying and holding her. He will caress the smooth curvatures of her body with his muscular hands. Her lips act as an aphrodisiac as he willingly spends more quality time in their slick embrace, without his usual hard lip smacking-suck-your-face-off slobbering routine. Her breasts are as shiny chrome rims needing a polish, much more finesse and smooth handling rather than handfuls of torturous pinching and tugging. These things and so much more will a guy perform all in hopes of winning her clothes off. This is due to the prolonged period of time he has been deprived of his carnal desires. Of course there are the ravenous times when a loving touch prior plays no part in his game.

Really, I didn’t want to do it the last month of her pregnancy. I was rather revolted by the thought of it. I was somewhat in disgust with her body, although that wasn’t the main source of my hesitation. I would think about The Boy floating around all snuggled up in there. Of course I’m not so naïve to think I might actually damage or hit him during sex, but just knowing that he was that much closer to his exit, made me somewhat squeamish. Also, Lilly was leaking fluids from her breasts, which is a shocking discovery the first time around. Of course that means they are off limits to me. Guys naturally tend to gravitate towards the anatomy in which they do not possess themselves. So when the first time I reached around during a lovely late night spooning session and got a wet hand in return, I realized they no longer where mine to caress. This is a devastating part of pregnancy for guys. I admit this openly because all guys know it’s true, and all women should and need to know as well. So when Lilly asked me to have sex two weeks prior to the due date, I said no. She couldn’t believe it, but we both laid there and laughed about it as I explained my trepidation of not getting naked with her. While driving in my Tahoe one week prior to the due date she demanded that we “pull over right now and have sex, I want this dam baby to come out,” (as if that would really do the trick), I said no, again. What’s wrong with me? She was throwing herself at me and yet I refused. Well hardly throwing herself, rolling herself over or making an abrupt movement at that point in the pregnancy was an impossible feat. In fact the last time we had sex I had to roll her over on her side because she couldn’t do it herself due to her huge baby-carrying-belly. Oh, the realizations of the horrors of pregnancy never cease to amaze.

Recently, it had been over two months since we rolled around naked together. In that time we had experienced the full spectrum of emotions and a major life altering event. The time and emotional turmoil caused me to care more about what she needed rather than what I desired. Her body had sufficiently healed and the doctor gave her the go ahead. I had finally stopped thinking so much about how her body was torn apart and altered enough to get in the mood also. She had put The Boy down in the basinet to sleep. He was finally sleeping. We thought there was ample time to frolic between the sheets. We both were longing for sex! We were so close, yet so far. Do you know what it’s like when balls ache from nearly serving their intended purpose only to be let down? The above scenario was playing out before us, with us, to us. Then The Boy began wailing and hollering. His cries of discomfort pierced through the room with torrents of desperation and a plea for parental supervision.

My boy hates us. He won’t let use get naked. Can I get someone to come over here and take care of The Boy for a while? Just long enough for us to officially consummate our new family. Répondez s'il vous plaît, as soon as possible!

That happened to us so many times when Lucy was born it became a very sad situation. We eventually just stuck her in her swing for a quick 10 minutes unattended (I know I am evil.) But desperate times, you know. Hey, if things don't go my way today I'll come hold your baby.

That's tough. I know the early months after our son was born were challenging when it came to scheduling intimate time. We actually started scheduling our time around his naps and getting it done. It was the only way. I remember once doing it carefully and quietly on our bed while he slept just two feet away.

Regarding the pregnancy sex, we/I didn't have any issues with that. She was very horny during her last trimester. It was weird. We actually did it a few hours before the wife into labor. It was just a little difficult because of the big belly getting in the way.

I'm gonna have to call "Bullshit" on you and here's why:

Post-partum women won't let you TOUCH their breasts for at least three months!

At least...that's been my experience. And even once you CAN, the whole experience has been ruined for them by the young one(s).

I know I am still young (coming up on 24), but I have no desire for children... and this post just solidified that idea. Geeze...

How do you care for the baby with RSD. Does it make it difficult? Or is he still young enough that it doesn't matter much?

The essay you wrote about in my comments is an idea that I ADORE! I took a medical sociology course my senior year, and we discussed that idea in length. I had a lot to say about it, of course ;-) This world was not made for those of us with extra needs. Take NYC for example. There are no benches on the streets!!!! It is so rare if you come upon one. I've sat on the curb many times and braved the crazy drivers just to get some relief. Grrr.

Good luck with the baby and the sex!

As a child when we learn of our parents as sexual beings we cringe with disgust. And yet now as adults with children, well damnit we need our sex (even if they are lying two feet away, Vegas. That’s hysterical.) We are able to overcome the presence of our offspring being in the same room while having sex, and yet as children the existence of sex and parents was awful. The roles have reversed and the outlook is much different. Of course it still is a tad creepy, yet we overcome.

Your wife went into labor after having sex! That’s why my Lilly demanded sex the last week because she heard it can induce labor. Perhaps I should have pulled the car over…

I postulate that the existence of breast fondling post pregnancy is in fact possible. My good sir, you are deprived. Lilly allows me breast time when ever I deem fit. Of course as my post describes, it isn’t really happening all that much right now anyway, so…

Sorry to scare you further away from wanting kids, Cookie. Although, Lilly said that too, oh about 11.5 months ago. Now we have a 10 week old, go figure. Raising a kid proves quite difficult with my back pain. Lilly goes back to work Monday from her maternity leave, so things are going to reach a new level for me as there is no one to hand him off to after that. We shall see how long I survive.

What is this sex you speak of? I can't remember it.

creative-type dad said...

Sex....?


Hmmmmm....?

Nope, nothing comes to mind...

Surfer Jay said...

Such remarks coming from two guys that have been at this whole family scam longer than I have cause me to quiver in my BVDs.

Perhaps we should start giving The Boy formula so Lilly can start drinking her wine again. Nothing a few bottles of fermented fruitery shouldn't be able to fix, right? Right!

You have a wonderful, wonderful blog. I just subscribed.

Sorry... what? Sex? I'm with those other guys above. My husband routinely refers to our child as "the ultimate c*ckblock". Time to find a great babysitter who doesn't mind long walks on the strand with the baby in the winter.

Surfer Jay said...

yes...two syllables...the color blue...sounds like halls...

This was seriously the funniest thing I've read in a blog this year. I give you a full-on standing "O" (as in vation). I hate to break it to you, man, but it only gets worse. It gets SO Much worse when the little bastards start walking. And don't think door locks will help. Brinks hasn't made a device yet that a 3 year old can't defeat. Enjoy all the naked time you can now, cuz you're going to be getting less and less...until you start vacationing WITHOUT the "natural birth control" in tow.

Again, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT post.

Surfer Jay said...

Okay that does it. You've convinced me now not to have another one. Whew, what a load off. And I almost decided for it.

Hey thanks man. It's comforting to know that I am not the only one not getting some because of the little ankle bighters. If I shall suffer, everyone might as well suffer.
