Ways to Keep Your Sex Life Interesting While Trying for a Baby (Part 1)

Dolapo Marinho

With societal pressure to instantaneously produce offspring after marriage, many couples hit the ground running – by hook or by crook, that baby must be born within the year!

While some get lucky, several others have a little trouble falling pregnant and have to adhere to a strict regime of lovemaking in order to maximize their chances. This type of scheduled copulation often leads to tension between the couple or even boredom because the end result and not the process, becomes the focus.

Here are 5 ways to maintain your mojo in the baby making department!

1. Communicate

Talk to each other candidly about your feelings of anxiety or inadequacy. Voice your concerns about the journey you are both about to embark upon. Once your fears are aired and shared, you will both be mentally prepared for the roller coaster ride ahead.

2. Do Yoga

Ok, this might sound a bit random. But a flexible, relaxed body opens up all manner of possibilities when having sex. It gives you the ability and strength to experiment with different positions and exotic contortions.

3. Get a copy of the Karma sutra

Throw out your inner prude, after all, who else are you going to try crazy things with, if not the love of your life? Leaf through the book and set yourselves the challenge of picking a position to try and master every week. Your clumsy fumbling as you discover new possibilities will shift the focus away from baby production and inject the fun back into your sex life!

4. Build Anticipation

Hubby has probably forgotten that today is your most fertile day. Don’t remind him. Simply punctuate his day with messages expressing your desire for him. Build the mood to such an extent that he will be ready to pounce on you as soon as he walks through the door!

5. Woo your Girl, again and again

Women are sensual creatures, we love to smell and touch and feel. Let her know that you are also invested in the baby making process, but that even though that is the end game, you want to make love to her regardless. Reassure her that the pressure is not just hers to bear. Send flowers and cupcakes to her office for no reason. Get home early and have her favourite music playing over her favourite meal. You have the power to relax her and increase your chances of joining the parenting fraternity.
