Your Orgasmic Pregnancy: Little Sex Secrets Every Hot Mama Should Know

by Danielle Cavallucci, Yvonne K Fulbright M.S.

Thankfully, pregnant women no longer have to disguise their condition or confine themselves to the home. They’re free to do other things — like enjoy an active sex life. This no-nonsense guide helps mothers-to-be maintain intimacy through all three trimesters and beyond. Using the real-life experience of one author and the professional expertise of the other, it covers a wide range of issues regarding sex and pregnancy, including the unanswered, difficult, and taboo questions and topics most people are afraid to address. It also helps partners develop new ways of communicating that help pregnant women relish life’s deepest expression of sexual union. With warmth and encouragement, it prepares women for the sexual challenges and joys of pregnancy and motherhood, giving them confidence and the tools they need to enjoy it all with verve, humor, grace, and joy.

I read this in a couple of hours today for a work project, so I did zoom through some parts. I found it to be pretty informative. I definitely learned a good deal about the biology of pregnancy and potential impacts on sexuality, and got to think about some things I hadn't considered as physical realities of pregnant sex. The book tries to be inclusive, though it is a little more hetero leaning than not. Areas of growth: the word "preggie" made me uncomfortable (might be empowering for others?). Some of the information on sex toys, materials, and toys that exist was outdated, but the book was published 8 years ago, so it makes sense that those items would need updating. I feel more confident about recommending this book to customers, for staff education, and to friends.

This book is designed for those who are already quite well-informed sexually and have a generally sex-positive outlook and lifestyle. In other words, it is a manual on continuing an already good sex life into pregnancy. The descriptions of bodily changes and recommendations in terms of sex positions were extremely helpful, and the latter looks to be even more so in the finished copy, as the Early Reviewers copy did not include diagrams/drawings.
