I'm a guy, and I can relate to the attractiveness of "the glow," and general swelling and curviness I suppose, but don't find preggers-porn to be at all appealing.

In real life though, maybe it's a "je ne sais quois" that has to do with some kind of awe and appreciation? Maybe it's the hormonal changes that trigger something in men? I dunno.

I don't hit on, stalk, or otherwise molest pregnant women, though. Not my thing, I guess.

I have been doing phone sex for a while.
This fetish is Way common.
I was as shocked as anyone when I first talked to a guy about it. What what what???
There seems to be a few things at play..
The sensual. Different textures,tastes and looks about a pergnant woman. Lactation is a big part of it too.
The Fecundity factor. What is more sexual than reproduction, after all that is the point of all this brouhaha.
Virgin-whore? A "nice" lady who is a horny slut? Oh yeah boys. And she has the proof, unprotected sex, caution thrown to the wind.
Nothing to do with the infant itself it seems they never talk about the baby. so no kiddie porn there.
Men seem to think alot about the basic function of sex..(REALLY!) Clinical sex ed words turn them on more than I could have ever thought...SPERM! VAGINA! TESTICLES!
Just what I have observed.
Yeah, I laugh a lot.

@bigslut: I have met a couple men with this "fetish." Btw, It's only a fetish if it's the ONLY thing that can get you hot and heated. So, I don't think the word is being used properly here. Anyway, the men with this fetish that I've met, are more "sensual" by nature and find the body changes, lactation, and intimacy of sex with a pregnant woman to be a turn on. These men were WAY into their wives or GF when pregnant but they also admitted to finding pregnancy porn to be a turn on.

I'm surprised at all the judgmental comments about men being attracted to pregnancy. Personally, I think pregnant women are beautiful. If I'm a straight gal and think that, what's wrong with a guy thinking the same?

I've known many a man to thing pregnant women are sexy and I could easily see someone willing to pay for it: it's not exactly a super simple kink to come by. I don't see why this is any stranger than a man finding a skinny woman sexy, or a chubby woman, or a brunette.

It was mentioned above there is pregnancy porn. Well in NZ, we had a guy making a porno and he wanted to film the BIRTH for it. Everyone got up in arms about it, mostly due to the rights of baby while and after it was born. It went to court, but not sure how it ended up.

I've heard of women who work as strippers that get pregnant and continue working and claim to make twice as much money as before they were pregnant.

I used to get regular calls looking for pregnancy lingerie at my old job. Mostly they were from the same guy, though, so I doubt it's super common. Due to the time spread I'd also posit that he wasn't shopping for a real pregnant lady... unless he collects them.

When I was pregnant there was this young guy at my work who out of nowhere became fascinated with me when I started to show. Always asking me questions and talking to me about babies. It was odd and slightly creepy.

Guess what, there's also *gasp* pregnant porn!

This rarely has anything to do with the "desperation" of the sex worker. Many that I've known just try to keep working by using their pregnancy to their advantage by working the fetishized pregnancy angle, but it's not like they're necessarily getting the same clients they were before they were knocked up.

@jfk1624: :) I understand why folks might show some concern, but the reality is that many people really do enjoy erotic acts with pregnant women...I am sort of shocked that this "fetish" is being gasped at. There are plenty of porn photos and videos of pregnant women getting it on out there -- why is this so shocking?

I'm really really tired of seeing sex workers getting the shaft from jezebel folks. I'd love to see the attitude of "sex workers are doin' it because they're desperate or forced" stop...and while we're at it, the one about them being uneducated needs to stop as well.

Where's my copy of "Whores and other Feminists" I'm about to go on a wordy rampage.

@delicatetbone: Seriously. I have so many problems with this post. I loathe that prostitution cannot be mentioned on Jezebel without a thousand impassioned comments about the gross men who frequent prostitutes or the sad women who work as prostitutes. I have so many things I want to say, but I feel like they will fall on deaf ears. Disheartening, to say the least.

I'm so sick of reading about how Jezebel is "feminist" because its not. Just because a publication is left-leaning and women-focused doesn't make it "feminist." Like has ANYONE at this blog taken a feminist philosophy course?

Sorry for the rant, i normally keep quiet but this post was the straw that broke it

And btw, my husband is very into pregnant women.

@AliyaBabasaur: Excuse me? There are legitimate disagreements within feminism about prostitution, and just because this site doesn't meet all your expectations of what "feminism" is doesn't mean it's not feminist, or that many of us are feminists even if we disagree with you.

Prostitution makes me very, very uncomfortable, and do you know why? Because I have researched, read the experiences of sex workers (both those who were okay with it and those who ultimately weren't), and it's NOT a black and white issue at all.

Sorry if I'm not a feminist now because I disagree with you.

@AliyaBabasaur: I would never say that Jezebel isn't feminist and I hope that's not the impression that you got from me. I just think that the blanket statements about sex work/ers seem to follow a trend here and I'm going to make a point to challenge it.

I'm particularly puzzled by Sadie's upturned nose at the "desperate hooker" in the above op-ed. I just think it's a very dehumanizing viewpoint. And are we asking folks to psychoanalyze every fetish out there? To what end?

Additionally, I'm sure that plenty of people here have taken a feminist philosophy course and asking that isn't going to help things here. Just because people take different views does not necessarily mean that they haven't studied the issue at hand.

@jfk1624: @delicatetbone: Since I've been reading this site regularly for the last few months, it seems like many of the discussions about prostitution get back to the abused sex worker and the abusive john/pimp, which is reality for many sex workers to my understanding. Are there any other sources that portray alternate views of sex work and are those views representative of sex workers in general for a particular fetish or region of the world, etc?

I'm not trying to come off like an ass; I just don't know much about sex workers, exploited or otherwise, in the world. Feel free to shoot me a line off-thread if you'd prefer.

@exelizabeth: Hellz yea.

Jezebel is PLENTY feminist. If you're going to be in the sex industry, you have to accept that it is a flashpoint vocation and that your choice--however it's informed-- will inspire much debate.

I'd have loved to have gotten a standing ovation from every person on Earth every time I strapped on the Lucite platforms, but one of the conditions of the job is accepting that you will have to take some heat.

Sure, here are two of my favorite books:

Live Sex Acts by Wendy Chapkis

I can't google these things at work, but check out the work of Scarlot Harlot, Melissa Gira, SPREAD magazine, the Sex Worker Art Project tour

When I'm at home, I'd be happy to email you my thesis (it's not that long and is written in a more social commentary style and has pictures!) if you're interested.

the average prostitute starts "working" at 14. when those who favor the legalization of prostitution can come up with an argument that counters the promotion of child sexual exploitation, i might pay attention.

@exelizabeth: Listen, prostitution might very well make you uncomfortable, but I don't really see how that translates into an argument for or against anything. I think what AliyaBabsaur expressed has at least a morsel of merit. The idea of a feminist perspective, to some women, seems to translate to: women are being victimized, men are evil. I'm not saying that is the case across the board on Jezebel, but it isn't rare. This kind of a comment, from Sadie: "And by the way, a guy who could be into the idea of a woman so desperate she has to turn tricks during advanced pregnancy? That's a whole different level of pathology" totally takes away from whatever point she was trying to make. That, along with the repeated characterization of sex workers as desperate, is what I am taking issue with.

@AlbionPostumus: Where's this statistic from? Is this in the US? Limited to street-based prostitution or all escorting? I don't like to conflate the word "prostitute" with "sex worker" -- but regardless it's hard to talk about a random statistic without the details.

1) Some men like the idea that they wont be getting *this* lady knocked up.

2) Pregnancy is like the ultimate ending to sex. It might make a gent feel more Verile.

3) Pregnant ladies tend to have big ol' titties. Pregnant boobies are nice.

Ok, I think this fetish has to do with the idea that the woman is already inseminated and therefor does not have a connection issue, ie she already has a baby and won't try and "pin you" with one. Stupid and irrational, but some men think it's hot. Also, the idea that the man is proving his superiority by having sex with "another man's" woman.

My roommate and I went as Juno and Bristol Palin, respectively, for Halloween. Apparently our pregnancy bellies were rather realistic, since even at the wild parties we attended people seemed to think that we were actually with child. And yes, we got hit on.

I think if you're someone who visits prositution, desperation probably doesn't even occur to you. If you have no problem having sex with someone who has to be paid to go through with it, you probably don't have the most nuanced thinking about other people's motivations.

Sex workers are too lazy to do anything else, while johns have all kinds of other options? WTF again.
