Disgusted with sex but prefers self pleasing

I’m in week 22 of my pregnancy and I’ve hated having sex with my partner. I do get the urge but would prefer watching porn instead and self pleasing. I don’t know why but my body feels disgusted when being touched. What do I do? #pleasehelp #bantusharing #pregnancy

Hi Mummy, thank you for sharing your story. It's totally normal to feel this way, especially that our body undergoes a lot of adjustments during pregnancy. If this is what you prefer, communicate it with your partner and make him understand what you're going through. Establish a connection because you should face head on every challenges of your pregnancy together. I'm sure you will both come up with solutions on how to address this problem without affecting your relationship and the baby. I hope everything goes well for you Mummy. Hoping for the best!

You may want to talk to a counsellor or gynae about this :) Can be unhealthy for your marriage and relationship if this persists. Perhaps you can also ask yourself why you feel disgusted when your husband touches you, or why you prefer to turn to pornography instead - is it because your husband is unable to satisfy you in the same way? There may be deeper issues you would need to communicate with your husband to strengthen and protect your marriage. Hope this helps!
