What I meant by that is that it is not right for me to force her to behave in a way that is outside of her comfort zone. She is more of an introvert than I am and works at a job where she has to interact with lots of different people all day. So when she gets home, she needs to "recharge" from...

Pregnant women are tops on my list. Pregnant sex with my wife during her first pregnancy was epic! But I've had an eye for that before we were expecting (may have helped encourage me to start a family ;-) ). The second (and last pregnancy) wasn't nearly as fun, but she was still looked amazing...

I am new the this forum as well and when I opened this thread I thought "I'll read it but can't offer any advise since I'm new and not officially poly." Turns out I was wrong. Someone gave the advice not to rush into it and to read about and educate yourself on the polyamory world. I'm in that...
