Eventually.
Once I’d pulled on my big-girl maternitypanties.
Okay, back to the initial question at hand—did I want him to regularly service my horny hormonal needs while I waspregnant?
Pros
1. Sex with Josh wasgreat.
2. I wouldn’t have to worry about finding someone willing to have sex with me once I beganshowing.
3. Sex with Josh wasgreat.
4. I wouldn’t have to feel woefully unsatisfied because I had to rely on myfingers.
5. And I wouldn’t have to resort to buying a vibrator. Were vibrators during pregnancy considered safe? Was the topic even covered inWhat To Expect When You Are Expecting?6. Sex with Josh wasgreat.
Cons
1. Josh didn’t do relationships and he wasn’t interested incomplicated.
2. I could become addicted to sex with Josh, and then what would I do once he moved on to someone who wasn’t the mother of hischild?
3. Sex with Josh was great. After spending numerous months having great sex with him, how would I be able to go back to less than earth-shatteringsex?
“So, is the offer still on the table to fulfill my sexual needs while I’m pregnant?” I’d worry about the consequences later. Right now the baby was more important. Sexual frustration led to stress, and that wasn’t healthy for the baby. Earth-shattering sex was a great stress reliever, and that was a win forJunior.
And Junior’s needs camefirst.
Josh nodded. “Yes, the offer’s still on thetable.”
Awesome. Perfect. Great. “Then I accept your offer.” I turned my back on the know-it-all voice in my head—the one pointing out that I was making a bigmistake.

Me to Mum:Josh and I brokeup.
While I waited for her reply, I sent the same text to my brothers, then popped a french fry into my mouth. A plate of my favorite restaurant fries sat on the coffee table in front ofme.
Chris:Fuck me dead. Never would have guessed. You two seemed so in love. *Snort*
Crap. That wasn’tgood.
Chris:Simon now owes me $50.
I was afraid to ask.Why?
Chris:I said you’d wait 5 months before claiming that you and Josh had broken up. Simon said6.
How did you know the engagement was fake?Never mind the part where I hadn’t been “engaged” anywhere near five months. Neither of them had won thebet.
Chris:Really? You have to ask? You would never do something as impulsive as getting engaged to someone you barelyknow.
Me to Chris:How do you know I haven’t known Josh for awhile?
Chris:You looked ready to shag him not marryhim.
