What do men think of watching their wives give birth?

Question

I've read articles about how traumatizing it is and how some men can never see their wives in a sexual way after that, but I've also read that men get over it pretty quickly.

What's your opinion and do you have personal experience with this?

Answer 1

It's really no fair I couldn't see either of my children being born and I was the one doing all the work. But he didn't pass out or anything. I just wish I had it taped, because I nevr got to see it.

Answer 2

I cried, it was the most wonderful experience I ever had, totally beautiful, didn't change my view about s*x with my wife what so ever!

Answer 3

lol, my bf really gets the hibbie jibbies just knowing i have to go to the restroom to change my tampon,...he says he will almost faint if he realistically thinks about blood coming out from down their.  lol, im really wondering what he would do if we got married and he saw me give birth...haha!! good question, i cant wait to see what the responses are!

Answer 4

My hubby was ok with it.  In fact, he was so into watching our boys being born that he acted as though I wasn't even on the table.  (I had c-sections.)  Afterwards, he joked and said it was like skinning a deer.  lol  (Not the sweetest of things to say, but just about how I felt!)  We never had problems with it.  He was really engrossed with the whole song and dance, and wasn't ever adversely affected.

A man that never sees their wife in a sexual way again?  That's immature and pig-headed.

My daddy was in the delivery room when my baby brother was born, and we literally had to hold him up.  His feet almost went out from under him.  Mama and he had had 3 children prior to little brother, and we were born in the 70s, when they didn't allow daddies in the DR.  He told Mama that he never realized what she went through.  It gave him a better understanding and more love and respect for my mother.

God bless you and yours...Always!

Answer 5

My son and i were both in the delivery room watching my granddaughter being born and had to laugh at how horrified he looked to see her little cone head. He just looked at me with this look of horror in his eyes and I just cracked up and had to explain to him why her head was like that. After that though, he was totally enamored by the whole birthing process.

Answer 6

When the time comes, I WILL NOT let my man watch.

Not sure if he would react bad, but I DO not want to take that chance.  I plan to be a hot wife first, Mom second.

I think you get warning when they stop trying to do ya while you are pregnant, this will mean he WILL be traumatized for sure!  

Answer 7

I watched in awe as my wife gave birth to all three of our children.  It was truly amazing, and I feel honored to have been there...some can't get the imagery out of their heads, but most have no problems.  s*x and childbirth are completely unrelated in my head when it comes to that.  When we are making love, I never see how she looked when she was giving birth - I revel in the glory of the current moment.

Answer 8

The desire for kitty out weighs the sight of watching your child shoot out. If the nurse is good looking then watch her instead. Don't shoot the messenger ladies.  

Answer 9

I PERSONALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING EXPERINCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE..TRULY AWESOME...

Answer 10

Im not going to say its not gross, but when its your child its the most amazing thing ever. You tend to look past the gross parts at realize what a miracle you are witnessing.  

Answer 11

I watched both my daughters being born. It was not traumatizing at all. I was interested in the whole process and excited to see our new baby. But I felt helpless seeing my wife in pain and not being able to do anything about it. I just tried to help any way I could. As for seeing her in a sexual way afterwards... never had a problem with that until I found that I was only a source of money and someone to share the housework for her!

Answer 12

Its a part of life....a miracle...men who are grossed out by this are just immature

Answer 13

Don't believe everything you read. Personally I want to be with my wife when she gives birth, but I am not stupid either. I know my wife and when it comes to this it's her way or no way, and I am fine with that. I want her to be comfortable with my "position" in the situation, if you get what  I am saying.

Anyway, to truly answer your question, I want to be there and witness the birth of my children without hesitation.

Answer 14

Most men are grossed out by it, but as soon as they see their child and hear them scream, all is forgotten...

My hubby kept telling me the gross parts of it, and he wasn't bothered by it.

Answer 15

He was heartbroken to see me in so much pain, but his delight in holding our son afterwards was worth it. And he got quite hot under the collar while I was recovering. Our s*x life resumed as soon as I was healed enough.

Answer 16

I didnt want to see that. I was behind the curtain. Give me the kid after its over.

Immature I admit, but come on I heard chicks were crapping themselves while they were pushing.....what if the doctor handed me a t**d on accident instead of my kid?

Answer 17

I was present and participated in the birth of both of our sons.  It was wonderful.  On the second birth the doctor delivered the head, then let me deliver the rest of the baby!  It was thrilling, and I will never forget that moment.

Everything has its place, and being part of the birthing process is not sexual and didn't affect me adversely at all.  Our s*x was and is very good.

Answer 18

My husband sits and watches everything from open heart surgery to brain surgery, and childbirth, think he'd just get right in there and deliver the baby himself. It's amazing how he is never bothered by any of that. I would definitly want him there.
