First unprotected sex for baby-making

[Olivienne]

Dear all,

my husband and I now decided to have a baby and we'll soon "go for it". Yet after all those years of attentive contraception, the idea of now having totally unprotected intercourse (I'm meanwhile off the pill) makes our minds go round with all kinds of fascinating thoughts.

Our questions to all couples that are already one step further are:
Which thoughts were passing through your mind, when you had your first unprotected baby-making sex?
To the ladies: What feelings did you have as a woman, when your husband intentionally inserted his penis for the first time without a condom in your fully exposed body?
To the gentlemen: What did you guys think when you entered your wife's vagina for the first time without a condom and being aware that there is now no barrier at all between you and her fertile womb?
To both of you: Do you have any remembrances of the seconds right before ejaculation? This decisive moment must have engraved in your either memories rather in slow-motion or are we wrong?

On the one hand, we have made the decision to go for a child, on the other hand, we currently feel a little bit like the deer in the headlights, being afraid what's next, although the outcome is in fact well known. Sounds paradox - but maybe you had similar thoughts, hadn't you?

Many thanks in advance for sharing your experiences with us.

Kind regards,

Olivienne & Fredy

One thing you should think about:
You may not get pregnant on the first try. Search "TTC" or "trying to conceive" on this board or google ... you might be surprised at what you find. It could alleviate your nervousness too.
Sex without a condom is amazing. Its how your body intended it to be. You might even enjoy the time between "beginning to try" and getting pregnant more than you expect

Having come of age in the age when there wasn't anything we knew of that we could catch, I'd never had sex with a condom (that's been really recent in my life). But making the choice to have a baby does change your awareness and both times I knew when I conceived.
