" I am pregnant and no longer want to send my husband nude pictures. He said he still finds them sexy, but I don&amp;#039;t. Is he lying to be nice, or do men really find pregnant women attractive? You know, I&amp;#039;ve been surprised by how many women write in different versions of the same question: My guy says he&amp;#039;s attracted to me, but I don&amp;#039;t believe him. Now, I understand that guys lie about all kinds of shit. They lie about their jobs. They lie about how much they like your friends or your new haircut. They pretend to care about which dress you&amp;#039;re going to wear out tonight. They lie about how they totally never slept with her and how they&amp;#039;re really just good friends. And, most of all, they lie about how they really don&amp;#039;t mind watching The Bachelorette if it makes you happy. They lie, lie, lie, lie. (About as much as women.) But it&amp;#039;s a one-in-a-million guy who will say to his girlfriend or wife, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re so sexy, I want you to send me nude pictures,&amp;quot; and not mean it. It&amp;#039;s a snowball-in-hell guy who makes this request and doesn&amp;#039;t want her. So, no, your guy is not lying. He thinks you&amp;#039;re sexy. I&amp;#039;m going out on a limb here to say that he definitely, absolutely, positively wants you to sext him because he really, sincerely, truly thinks it would be hot.  Now, onto your specific question: Can guys be attracted to pregnant women? The long and winding course of human history has proven one thing: Guys are attracted to all sorts of women. Big and beautiful? Yep. MILFs? Yep. Muscle-bound athletes and skinny models, tall amazons, and petite little ladies? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. On the grand scale of erotic desire, being attracted to a pregnant woman isn&amp;#039;t weird at all. In fact, there&amp;#039;s something elementally hot about a pregnant woman: Have you ever been to a museum and seen hot statues of bodacious fertility goddesses with their round hips, plump butts, and full bellies? For millennia, guys have been turned on by pregnant women. Some guys might be turned off by swelling breasts \u2014 but not many I have met.  On the other hand, I&amp;#039;ve had married friends tell me it&amp;#039;s thrilling, actually, to see a pregnant wife&amp;#039;s body changing because it&amp;#039;s like they get to sleep with a whole other woman. Their partner&amp;#039;s body feels and looks different. Plus, let&amp;#039;s not forget the obvious: When your partner sees you pregnant, he also knows that there&amp;#039;s only a little time left to live it up before the baby comes and sex necessarily takes a backseat to nursing and sleepless nights.  So, no, I don&amp;#039;t think your husband is lying. I think he&amp;#039;s horny. I&amp;#039;ve been married for eight years, and my husband moved his mother in to live with us. She sleeps in the same room with us but on her own bed, of course. Everything this lady wants her son, my husband, to do, he runs and does it. My husband and I had a fight, and he kicked me out the house. Now I&amp;#039;m staying with a friend. It&amp;#039;s been a month now. He says he loves me and wants me back. I have been trying to tell him we are still married but he needs to let his mom know she can&amp;#039;t live with us anymore, but he just don&amp;#039;t want to do that. Please help me. I&amp;#039;m not sure what to do anymore. I obviously don&amp;#039;t have the full picture here. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those situations where the devil \u2014 and the answer \u2014 is in the details. But I can offer you some general advice on how to think it through. For instance, maybe your mother-in-law can&amp;#039;t live by herself. Maybe she has problems \u2014 financial, medical, or otherwise \u2014 that make her independence impossible, or at least severely unlikely, and maybe even risky. If your husband (and half of his bedroom) is all she&amp;#039;s got, then you&amp;#039;d be asking him to kick out a vulnerable woman who needs help. On the other hand, if his mother is completely capable of living on her own, that&amp;#039;s different. Maybe she&amp;#039;s clinging to him and can&amp;#039;t let go. And maybe it&amp;#039;s somewhere in between those two extremes.  Regardless, your options are limited. You can do one of three things: (1) Accept the status quo and move back in. (2) Reject it and leave. (3) Broker a compromise. It doesn&amp;#039;t sound like you can make peace with this arrangement as it currently exists, so let&amp;#039;s skip option one. Option two is the nuclear option: If you don&amp;#039;t think you can be happy in this relationship as it exists and you&amp;#039;re sure your husband is unwilling to change, then don&amp;#039;t move back in. End it. I&amp;#039;ll be blunt: Your husband already kicked you out once. If he won&amp;#039;t budge, then moving back in would likely just set you up for the same heartbreak at a later date. Maybe it&amp;#039;s best to get out.  The third option \u2014 the one you should try, no matter what, since you&amp;#039;ve got eight years of marriage between you \u2014 is to work on a compromise. Don&amp;#039;t move in without one. Right now, you have the leverage. He kicked you out. He wants you back. It&amp;#039;s up to you to set the terms. Do you need your own room? Do you need some nights where the two of you have some privacy? Do you need a more general agreement that he won&amp;#039;t simply run and do everything his mother asks \u2014 and that he will be more receptive to what you need? Only move back in after you have some agreement that things are going to change. Otherwise, the cycle is likely to repeat itself. It strikes me that one way forward is to have a direct, honest discussion with your mother-in-law. It won&amp;#039;t be easy. In most cases, family dynamics are resistant to change, but not always. Even if it seems like she&amp;#039;s the problem now, she might be able to help. Maybe, now that she&amp;#039;s seen her son&amp;#039;s marriage break up due to fights over her, she will understand how important it is that you all find some peace together. After all, it sounds like you both love this guy a lot. Maybe all three of you can work on this together.  When my boyfriend and I have sex, usually it&amp;#039;s on the couch because we always watch movies. But while the TV is on and we are having sex, he doesn&amp;#039;t pay attention to me, more to the TV. He never wants to look face to face. We&amp;#039;ve talked about it and he just laughs. Let&amp;#039;s do some math.  The average American family watches five hours of television a day. Assuming you also work eight hours, sleep eight hours, and spend two hours eating, commuting, and performing errands, that leaves just one hour per day for absolutely everything else in your life, including sex. It&amp;#039;s hard to make time for sex. You and your boyfriend have decided to squeeze sex into your busy schedules by having sex on the couch with the television on. In the abstract, I suppose one could admire your decision to screw on the couch while watching Sons of Anarchy as some form of efficient multitasking. But I have an even better idea: Turn off the damn television.  Try seducing your boyfriend before he turns on SportsCenter. Tell him you need his help in the bedroom, and then get what you need in the bedroom. And say no the next time he attempts to seduce you while the TV is on. I can&amp;#039;t imagine that it feels good when you ask him to look at you during sex and he laughs. Do you feel disrespected? I would. If he can&amp;#039;t understand why you are disappointed with the lack of eye contact in your couch-potato sex life, then he is setting the bar extremely low, and I don&amp;#039;t think you should accept that. You need to convince him to change the channel on your sex life, or you could be binge-watching unsatisfying reruns of bad sex for a very long time. So turn off the TV. Tell him that you love sex but you don&amp;#039;t love having sex with a sitcom laugh track, or fooling around while a serial killer rampages on Hannibal. Tell him that it may not seem like such a big deal, but it matters to you. If sex isn&amp;#039;t just physical, emotionally disconnected grinding to you, let him know that. It&amp;#039;s perfectly fine to tell him that he needs to choose between you and The Walking Dead.  Finally, if he keeps complaining and you feel that you must offer up a compromise tell him this: &amp;quot;Baby, there&amp;#039;s this hot, sexy new thing I want you to try.
