Had my first kid at 22 with a woman I’ve no longer with. Watched the entire thing. I was shook to my core. I couldn’t eat kewchie for like 13 months after that. I thought it was going to bite my lips off
remindme! 1 day
I saw all 3 of my kids being born, down right where the action was. Didn’t affect my desire to pork my wife at all, I was just shocked and impressed by what she was able to endure
It there in the action for both my kids. If anything my attraction is greater since she birthed our little crotch goblins.
Tbf, birth is completely disconnected from sexual desire in my mind. Seeing it didn’t affect my libido in any way. It’s a human body doing something different.
I was advised by my own Dad to “stay up the top end”
Both times I did. And Im pleased that I did having spoken to other Dads who didnt follow that advice
Well. Saw a childbirth video when I was a young teen.
I think it helped push me to being child free. Not that one event, but seeing a woman in that much distress I wasn’t sure i could ever do something like that to her.
So it affected my desire in the “I don’t HAVE sexual desire if we don’t have birth control.”
Some things you can’t unsee, and while I think I’d have been fine I didn’t want to take even the slightest risk, so I stayed up top holding her hand. Worked well enough, didn’t have any issues
Nope, not even slightly.
