Coals to Newcastle

What's with all the recent stories about pregnant women wanting to appear sexy? New lines of clothes for pregnant ladies who want to allure, and models talking about wanting to appeal while great with child. I remember Demi Moore on what, the cover of Vanity Fair?

I know there are fetishists who go in for this sort of thing, but I never thought of a pregnant woman as particularly attractive. It stirred no unconscious enzymes. In fact, it made me feel protective and in awe. It made me recognize a certain holy and sacred beauty in her and life (which is not amorous inducing thinking).

When my wife was pregnant and we indulged, it left me feeling a little weird like carrying coals to Newcastle since the whole purpose of having sex had already been accomplished. The act felt redundant and a bit silly and sterile.

Plus, do we have to sexualize everything these days? Apparently so. Pornography seeps into everything now. Next up - Mary, Mother of God - One Hot Momma!
