As I've said before when my wife was pregnant we weren't able to have sex from the time we found out untill six weeks after the birth. So it was nearly nine months. It sucked. She wasn't even allowed to have orgasms because of their affect on the cervix. So we together as a couple didn't do anything. I didn't want to go to her for blow jobs if I couldn't reciprocate. We abstained from making out because that would only lead to her getting hot and bothered with no way of release and a lot of time before going into the hospital she was already arroused a lot of the time and it seemed cruel to me to increase that arousal in any way. To be honest we cheated a few times either her giving me oral or very quick anal, but I always felt bad afterwards for leaving her high and dry so it just became easier to masturbate alone. I felt no need to make her feel any worse about her inability to take care of my needs.
