• From the Archives: Pregnant with Anticipation

  Do you cringe when you think of pregnant sex? Or are hot mamas like Halle Berry and Jessica Alba making you wish you could put more than just a bun in their ovens? A trip into the Nerve Archives yields some surprisingly steamy results…check out “F*cking His Wife, Four Months Pregnant with Their Third Child,” fiction by Paula Bomer from the 2001 Married Sex Issue: Her skin seems powdered with stardust, it's moist dammit, and sparkling at him he swears, and her eyes are wet like a healthy cat's, glowing at him in the dark, open now, looking at him while their tongues stroke the insides of their mouths like they've never tasted each other before. You’ll definitely want to read the entire piece. And in “Nine and a Half Months,” Bernadette Noll relates the sexual surge and wild urges she encountered while pregnant. These ladies will make you see Juno in a whole new light.

• From the Archives: Pregnant Sex

  Today’s archive piece is a bit late in the day. To make up for it we bring you a personal essay, from way back in 1999, by Bernadette Noll about her luscious, sexual, pregnant self. Take anything you’ve heard about sex during pregnancy and throw it out. Check out the excerpt below and you’ll see what I mean. “Agony? Not for me. Ecstasy? Oh yes. Each caress, each squeeze, each unintentional brush ran down to my clitoris and back up again, flooding the portion of my brain reserved for rapture.” Read the full essay here.   Posted Dec 11 2007, 06:00 PM by Sarah with | with no comments Filed under: archives, pregnancy
