    I think you mean “je ne sais quoi.”

  2. Jen says:

    Articles written by women speculating postively on men’s thoughts doesn’t mean much to me; I’d rather read a man’s take on the issue. I suspect they feel plenty of negative and positive emotions simultaneously, but again, I don’t really know.

  3. gili says:

    then explain why most men have affair while their wives are pregnant?

  4. sarahrosangela says:

    This is so outdated and cliche. Wow.

  5. Jenna Boettger Boring says:

    I liked it. I thought it was pithy and entertaining. Good job Dara.

  6. DeathMetalMommy says:

    And where precisely are these men hiding?

  7. Man who pregnant women says:

    First of all, this article sucks.
    Most of these resons are bogus, only a couple are true.

    Secondly
    @DeathMetalMommy
    Even i’m attracted to pregnant women, I’ll run away from you, scared and afraid. Your nickname makes me afraid, very afraid. Maybe other men has it the same way?

    @gili
    Most men?
    Really? Most men?
    That means over 50% of all married men cheat on their wives while the wives are pregnant. I don’t believe you.
    An answer to why men cheat on their wives could be that they are getting used, from their teen years, to have a lot of sexual encounters with many girls without responsibility, and/or their wives don’t give them the sex they need.

    @sarahrosangela
    Right to the point.

  8. Random Spectator says:

    yes, this article is absolute rubbish. For a guy like me, it’s more along the lines of being attracted to big breasts or a nice round butt. Some guys like big breasts, some guys like small, some guys could care less. For me, I’m simply turned on by a pregnant belly. Not to mention the increase in breast size :)

  9. amused says:

    hehe, this one made me laugh: Your confidence and grace while taking one for the team (quite literally) makes him feel weak in the knees.

    yeah, right…

  10. LORET says:

    Its crazy to get attracted to .pregnant women coz they are toooooooooooo boring for my liking

  11. Alexavier says:

    That’s way more celevr than I was expecting. Thanks!

  12. Kapri says:

    Good point. I hadn’t thouhgt about it quite that way. :)

  13. Shell says:

    Yeah, my hubby introduced a new game called ‘just the head’ it’s pretty fun!

  14. Reality check says:

    Men always want sex. Just because a woman is pregnant doesn’t change anything.

  15. Angelette says:

    OR the reason men “like pregnant women” (ie want sex) is because they know that p*ssy is NEVER going to be the way it was once that baby head pops out! Might as well get as much as he can in it’s “former” state. My boyfriend LOVES our fit – and he has mentioned his ex-wife ‘parts’ looked like roast beef after the birth. *shudder*

  16. Hmmm says:

    My husband thinks prego women are ewwww! Including me. I am pregnant right now. I do happen to know my brother in laws think it is hot LOL. Not all men are the same that is for sure, but as far as my guy is concerned. He can’t wait until the baby is out.

    and looks like daddys photo copy lol….

  21. mmsock says:

    Men like having sex with pregnant women because they know they can’t get them pregnant.

  22. Anonymous says:

    I think it gives a positive perspective to sex during pregnancy. Most view the negative in sexuality during pregnancy. There are two sides to everything. Pregnancy involves a lot of ups and downs. That doesn’t mean sex is gone. I think this is perfect time for both a man and woman to explore each other and come closer not further apart. Being a couple is not always easy it involves work. There are so many things a couple can try while pregnant that go beyond just penetration.

    @the ones talking about guys having affairs… How forgiveable is it when your partner cheats on you, while you are in another country and pregnant with his baby?? can it all be the same again?? HELP!!!

  24. Annie says:

    Everyone is different. When i was pregnany my sex drive went though the roof and i am luck enough that my S/O thinks pregnant women are sexy. Win, Win!!! :)
