Is 子宮が疼く commonly used for wanting a child?


This is a quote from a Japanese woman (the English translation is her own)
saying that she would like to have a kid.

> Finally I met my sweet sweet niece!!!!!!!! I...I...I want a baby, too lol
>
> ついに、ついに姪っ子と初対面♪( ´θ｀)ノ 子宮がうずく（笑）

The Japanese wording was however somewhat unusual for me, as it literally
means something along the lines that her womb is throbbing. Is this phrase
commonly used, or was it just a unique way to say that she wants a baby?




I had to do some research to find out the answer to your question... Let's
just, err, not discuss how I found this out.

「子宮がうずく」, according to the great internet at least, is an expression usually
used under a sexual context meaning "to get really excited". And I mean,
like.. really excited. I'll spare you the details, but it is generally used in
situations like one where girls go to a bar and they see a really handsome
guy, so they say that he's a ”子宮がうずく男". The nuance behind this is that
regardless of whether or not they like that guy, they find him attractive, so
you can kind of guess the rest. I am really not sure why that woman said that,
though. I could only find sexual contexts for that expression. There is some
chance she said it tongue-in-cheek, but I really can't say. I most certainly
did not find any evidence pointing towards "wanting to have a baby".

Anyway this is what I could come up with, maybe a native speaker can tell you
more.
