Why are some men attracted to pregnant women? I’m curious because my husband seems to be.

She rarely got male attention before she was expecting, but once she was pregnant, whoa! I’ve noticed that healthy pregnant women have a glow about them. Maybe it’s that they have clear skin, or stand up straighter and with confidence. Or maybe a pregnant woman brings out men’s protective instincts. I don’t know that it’s common, but I know it happens.

Many women see this as incredibly masculine and attractive. A woman who is pregnant is perceived by men as being very ‘fragile’ and ‘delicate,’ which again reinforces that overall sense of femininity and vulnerability. Many of us men like the thought of having a sweet and beautiful woman who needs our protection, and a pregnant woman certainly fits that description. Women who are pregnant simply have the total ‘feminine package’ going for them.

Also, men may assume that a pregnant woman is already in a relationship and therefore ‘safe’ to flirt with.

We are, after all, just another animal, attracted to the most seemingly fertile of the opposite sex. A woman’s sexuality is exaggerated in a pleasing way during pregnancy, with breasts enlarged almost to bursting, etc. So what’s not to like? I think pregnant women are pretty nice to look at. The powerful look on some of their faces leading up to childbirth (very knowing) is also sexy, just as confidence is in anyone.

I would believe this is a survival instinct, as I was able to detect a difference in the smell of a pregnant woman on some level. It was never something you could pinpoint – but it was there. And being male, I would assume that many men confuse protective and caregiving feelings with sexual desire.

Name : Mike20410, Gender : M, City : Small Town, State : IL, Country : United States,I hate to break the news, but the truth is, men like pregnant women because these women can’t get pregnant while BEING pregnant. Also, since they are the least-expected woman for a man to go after, that makes it easier for the man to have space and freedom without jealousy. Women, we love sex on a great scale, so most of the time it’s not your body, face, etc. that we’re looking at. We’re looking to build numbers … meaning locker-room talk about who has had the most women. We laugh about things that matter to you women, such as what makeup to wear. We don’t care about that; we want to have sex.
I’m sure a lesbian would have a field day with what I’m saying because of her hate toward men. But I’m being honest. I want to improve on the relationships between men and women, and the only way to do that is for you to ask a man about men and stop reading these books by women about men. They don’t know what they’re talking about, which leads to a lot of women being hurt – or at a dead-end.

Some guys like the tight-shirt-on-a-bulging-belly look. It’s obviously a shape that looks attractive. Your husband probably fantasizes about you thinking things like ‘Oh, why is my body turning into shape?’ or ‘I have no control over my growing belly!’ or ‘Why can’t I wear my jeans anymore?’
You could probably use this to an advantage in your sexual life. Doctors say sex during pregnancy is OK.
Now, since I’ve answered your question, what do women think of men liking pregnant bodies? Do you think it’s odd? Would women want to have sex? It’s a taboo because it’s basically lusting over someone else’s woman. I’m curious because it’s something that some men keep secret because it doesn’t seem appropriate.

Name : Guy21613, Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Straight, City : n/a, State : CA, Country : United States, Education level : 4 Years of College, Social class : Middle class,Out of curiosity, why do you assume a lesbian hates men? Is it fair to say, then, that all gay men hate women, as if their hatred is what makes them seek mates of the same gender?? I’m bisexual, so what does that say for me? I obviously can’t hate both genders ’cause then I’d never get laid!! On top of that, I’m marrying a man! 🙂 I’m not quite sure how you can say that a lesbian would have a problem with your response simply because she hates men if it’s impossible to claim legitimately that she hates men. I don’t 100% agree with your statements, but that has more to do with personal preferences, experiences, etc then whether or not I sleep with men, women, both, or neither and whether or not that choice is based on me liking or disliking a particular gender. Don’t be so quick to stereotype lest you be prejudged as a chauvinistic pig just for being a man! 🙂

When my wife was pregnant, I still found her attractive, but before and after, she was (and is) far more attractive to me. I know a lot of people think that’s terrible of me to say, but why, exactly? I have never been attracted to pregnant women, nor has (or does) any man I know. My wife has told me that she knew men who thought it was attractive, and told her so, but she thought they were either desperate for female companionship or just plain kinky. Oedipus, anyone?

Name : Shaundralica, Gender : F, City : Clarkesville, State : MD, Country : United States,I’ll agree with most of the folks who’ve responded, and say that pregnant women are attractive ’cause of their obvious fertility; instinct must surely play a large role. But I definitely disagree with Hermann, who said they’re sexy only ’cause one can have sex with them without fear of pregnancy. Surely we love sex, but, personally, I don’t see a pregnant woman and see a free lunch, as it were.
