Well, you’re absolutely right. But then, if we constantly reminded ourselves of the negative side effects of pregnancy, then it wouldn’t be nearly as fun to think about now would it? Really, selective ignorance is part of just about any fetish or special interest.
October 19th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I think 8 and 9 are the worst things that can happen. In lighter news the picture that goes with 10 is sorta funny.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Heh. It’s true.
I actually like to incorporate some of those not-so-much-fun symptoms into my writing. I’ve even got a reference page: “The Truth About Pregnancy Symptoms”.

Of course, with all the bad, we have to remember the good. (And the only reason I’d ever bookmark a page off of Fox News.)

I would think at least with the physical inconveniences, most people don’t know about them to bother adding them in.
And yeah the orgasm bit, the ONLY thing that comes with pregnancy that all of the most dirty stories in the community make sure to mention.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
I’ve heard of all them except number 3 and 6, I also remember something about some pregnant women having problems with gas.
To tell the truth I’m surprised no one has thought of doing anything with pregnant women salivating before.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
I’ve never read the dirty stories to notice, really. Along those lines, they probably forget that sometimes, pregnant women just do not feel like having sex. After all, that’s what’s giving them stretch marks, hemhorroids, heart burn, etc…
As for the last picture… it actually makes me feel a bit sad. Pregnancy is just the exciting lead-up to a beautiful new life.

They’re rarely underlined, the same way most normal erotica disavows things like A.) STDs B.) realism C.) premature ejaculation D.) whiskey-dick.
They ignore it for a reason, and those reasons are it’s not erotic. Lets not kid ourselves, that’s what we’re here for. If you’re obsessed about preggos for more than that, and you aren’t actually fianceed or engaged/married to a pregnant woman, then you’re investing way too much thought into your fantasy-hobby.
October 20th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Guilty as charged– starting a blog about it is a pretty good way to tell someone invests too much thought in it. I am unrepentant for the fun I have thinking about stuff regarding my fetish that doesn’t turn me on.
October 20th, 2008 at 7:43 am
It’s good to think about the real things if you actually want to experience it rather than just looking at it online.
October 20th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Like has been said, the main reason this kind of thing isn’t thought about much is that fantasies don’t have to be realistic. But all the same, good post.
Although I feel I should point out that I’ve met some people who LIKE stretch marks.
October 20th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Also, it should be mentioned that there’s a lot of less than sexy things we DON’T ignore– morning sickness is frequently mentioned if not glorified, while backache, weepy moodiness, and loss of self-image are often acknowledged. Infertility is sometimes mentioned (and overcome).
And then there’s the legitimate medical issues that are often glorified– polyhydramnios, postdate pregnancy, and of course supertwin pregnancies.
October 20th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I was supposed to be born before Christmas and wasn’t born until January. YOU DO THE MATH! That’s my pick up line Aalong with ‘Hey baby, twins run in my family.’
Sexy innit.
October 20th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Wow, I had never heard of # 6.
And I think there are more, like swollen ankles, theet problems (hey, those 2 were the ones I heard about the most initially), gravidic toxemia, etc.
We also love to ignore how any pregnancy beyond twins (and sometimes twin pregnancy) is deemed high-risk, likely to end prematurely, and so many other things.
It’s obvious that we avoid the discomfort stuff (despite being so common in pregnancies) because we just don’t like them; but avoiding depictions of the complications (especially 8 & 9), I think is just natural for anyone, not just our community. Most people would not include something like that unless they wanted to use some amount of drama or tragedy, I think.
And the woman in the last image looks kinda weird…
October 20th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Yeah, I think we’re all a little guilty of this. However, even with problems pregnancy can still be bueatiful.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:48 am
Of course, our little corner of fetishism aside, even most of the very _un_favorable depictions of pregnancy in entertainment ignore most, if not all of these.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Alright I don’t know whether to laugh or take this seriously. #1 had to be the most hilarious and #7 was the worst and confusing out of all of them. This Top Ten reminds us of the downside of pregnancy. It also tells fathers-to-be to arm themselves with cleaning supplies, peer mediation, and a stable mindset for this is going to be the worst nine months of their lives.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Shadowpencil: That’s because the woman in the last image is wearing a rolled-up blanket in her top…
October 24th, 2008 at 11:37 am
I think #7 along with 8 and 9 is one of the saddest ones because if an Ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, the baby has to be aborted to save the life of the mother. That is just really sad.

There is one artist who I know has produced work petaining to #10 on the list, he’s produced it in the community before many others even contemplated bringing family into the mix. ShadowXM1, like him or hate him, he went in a direction many of the artists of the Community didn’t even achknowledge.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that for most people in this “community” (a subjective term, IMO), the fetish comes before anything else. It’s the pursuit of arousal that matters to most people, not concerns about the reality of pregnancy or what their most extreme fantasies would mean in real life.
And it’s hardly confined to the mai-crowd. I’ve seen weight gain or BE stories where the woman grows to the size of a planet. Realistic? HA! Even a “realistic” story where the woman gains 400 pounds or a dozen cup sizes will still overlook any negative impact that being such a size would entail (bedsores from immobility, the inevitable sagging, etc.)
It’s fantasy. Like I said, it’s all about getting off (blunt, I know). Why let reality get in the way of a good fantasy?
