Welcome to how i do itthe series in which we get a glimpse into the sex life of a new stranger every week.
For today’s episode, we hear from Katie, a 25-year-old working marketing executive.
Katie is pregnant, queer and living with her partner since 2021. She says sex has been “better than ever” since then.
In general, she is happy with how comfortable she is with herself and her partner in the bedroom.
On the other hand, she would also like things to become a bit more frequent and adventurous.
“We’ve focused on building intimate relationships,” she explains, “so it would be nice to take that up a notch.”
Here’s how she turned out this week…
Thursday
Finally! A day when my boyfriend and I both don’t work. Of course we start the day extra horny and decide to have some fun. Maneuvering during sex is still very awkward and may get worse.
I used to feel much more comfortable with doggies, but during the third trimester I found doggy really weird because I can feel our baby squirming around more.
This time I mainly stayed on my back, which felt great. Our sex has been so much better since the fear of getting pregnant has become irrelevant.
After my friend came, he finished me off with my favorite combination of tongue and bullet. A great start to the day.
Friday
We were both up early today to visit some family before my boyfriend had to work so not a sexy time for us. Not that I felt like it – I was still very satisfied from yesterday and suffered from lower back pain and heartburn.
My boyfriend started work at 9pm which gave us plenty of time to watch some TV while we ate dinner together. I went to bed around the same time he started working when I was shattered.
Saturday
My day started with a lot of blood tests that I hate with passion.
Saw my friend for about 30 minutes today as I was on my way when he came in from his night shift. He slept most of the day while I went out to meet some friends.
When I got home about 7:30, he was taking a shower to get back to work. The joys of shift work.
Sunday
Another day with little action.
I was full of energy, so I clambered out of bed when my boyfriend got home from work at 7am. We sat downstairs talking about our respective past 24 hours, knowing we wouldn’t be spending much time together today.
As we suspected, we had no time for anything but a little food and a 30 minute chat as he got back to work at 9pm.
Monday
I came home from work and felt very emotional today. I don’t know why, I just didn’t feel like myself. My friend was already cooking our dinner and I felt like I could eat the whole bowl of pasta for myself.
After dinner I snuggled up against him on the couch, but it wasn’t long before we both had enough of watching TV. Very bluntly, I suggested we clean up the kitchen and then have sex before he goes back to work.
So that’s exactly what we did. Although, I suddenly realized after my friend came that our baby was not moving, which is very unusual.
For some reason our kid loves to scare me by wriggling around while we do it. I then thought back and realized I hadn’t felt them since around lunchtime. We went to the hospital for monitoring. Fortunately, the baby was completely fine.
Tuesday
God, I’m tired today. I really can’t do late nights. I felt like I could fall asleep at my desk today, so it wasn’t surprising that I had nothing to do when I got home from work.
Before I could get through the door, I was drawn into a 45-minute conversation with my elderly neighbor. She is absolutely amazing, but she has no idea of time, bless her.
When I finally got home, I took a quick shower and made some beans on toast for dinner. I didn’t have the energy to even tidy up, so I crawled into bed at 6:30.
Wednesday
I feel a little better today. I definitely have more energy, but I feel like I’m never getting a full night’s sleep at this point. I’m either stirring all night or going to the bathroom for my sixth pee of the evening. Still, I feel good now.
Tonight my boyfriend and I are going out to dinner with some friends for my birthday at the weekend.
I’m actually really excited because my pregnancy made me feel really isolated in my own body, home and mind. The evening was full of laughter and we were finally home around 10pm.
At that point, we were both ready to sleep and enjoy some more weekend time together.
