Just wondering what men think about witnessing a birth... Does it gross you out? Doss it make a vagina less appealing?
I've never witnessed a birth, aside from my own, so I can't say. My brother has however, his daughter's. He said there were some moments, but was obviously respectful of his girlfriend not to talk about her in a way that portrayed her as gross. Why would you do that about someone you love regarding such a personal matter. The idea of my girlfriend bearing children (mine, naturally) is very appealing. It's a beautiful thing. So no, I don't focus on what may be somewhat unfavorable about the experience. Not to be rude, but your post, stance, sounds somewhat juvenile and disrespectful. Including the barf face emoticon, the slanted title, and the reactionary ?! use of double marks following it.
I've seen a lot of medical things performed, because I've been to that weird part of youtube, and I kinda got desensitized to witnessing the inner workings of the human body because I took many psychology and biology classes since high school. For me it is less the sight of it, but more the smell of C-sections or brain surgery that I might have a problem with, but I'd have to tolerate it and would easily do so for a significant other. The other thing with child birth specifically is the fear that my spouse and/or child(ren) might not survive the process.
Hubby is squeamish at the sight of his own blood. Once I found out I was pregnant, I told him he had to be there. He had 7 months to get used to the idea. I also had him read "What to expect when you're expecting." Just the part for new dads, so he would know what to expect. He was there and he was excitedly shouting "I see the head!" and he even cut the cord. He was glad that he attended. So was I. I think it made us closer. He definitely had more respect for me once he witnessed what I went through. If a guy can't handle seeing it, considering what a woman goes through, then I DON'T have any respect for him. Man up, guys!
By the way, most women need at least six weeks to heal after vaginal childbirth, so the image shouldn't be fresh in your mind. I needed more time and hubby was so anxious for sex it didn't bother him. He was more in awe than disgusted.
I have delivered 2 babies and witnessed my son's birth. Apparently it had no negative effect on me because I spend every waking moment trying to get at my wife's vagina.
Wasn't meant to come off like that. The reason I asked is because I've heard several of my male friends talking about this and I was shocked to hear them say a woman's vagina is "ruined" and isn't sexy after she's had a baby... Obviously I don't think that. I think everything about childbirth is beautiful. I was lucky enough to witness both my niece and nephew being born and I loved it. It makes me sick to think a lot of men actually think this way...
My husband said it wasn't gross at all and that, well, it was kinda funny...he kept telling me there was so much less blood than he expected- "there was hardly any blood at all"... no clue if he was right (although I didn't tear at all) and I didn't watch but anyways, yea, it didn't bother him and I wouldn't be w a guy that it did bother or gross out.
Child birth is pretty disgusting in my opinion. I've gone through it with my sister. It's not for me. I don't want kids. Doesn't make a vagina any less appealing though. In fact you realise how strong it all is.. makes you think... yeah... I can take 14"
I caught both my kids when they were born.... if anything I started licking vagina more after the fact did I say licking? I meant liking
Well OP, your male friends sound immature. Good luck to them finding a vagina to dislike later on. You're in luck. Hip Forums...well, the internet as a whole it seems, is full of guys with 14" dicks.
My guy was practically counting down the minutes for the six weeks to pass after both our kids. He obviously wasn't grossed out by it. Plus he's convinced they put an extra stitch, because according to him, I'm tighter now then I was before kids.
My partner watched my vagina split pretty much through to my bum and he still wants to sex me up on a daily basis so it must not be that much of a turn off. I'm pretty sure he was focused on that little head of hair more than my genitals anyways.
Do most people actually wait the 6 weeks? lol...seriously. I don't think we made it up to 4 weeks. Prolly closer to 3. I had a really easy delivery though, no stitches, no pain.
We waited the 6 weeks but I couldn't sit down comfortably for 3 of them. I probably wouldn't have waited if I had no tearing or stitches.
I hope I end up as lucky w this kid as last time....something tells me since no two pregnancies, deliveries, etc. are the same that something is gonna be different this time.... hoping in not a bad way but was so easy last time. Yikes... I'm actually kinda freaking myself out right now. :eck:
Everything is different the second time around. I had the perfect birth the first time, healed up really fast. No pain at all during the birth (was a water/homebirth...really beautiful, didn't take much time at all). Second birth was completely different. I think this whole sentiment comes from a common joke in hollywood movies and comedy routines. These men saying these things have no experience of actual birth. A lot of vaginas become stronger, therefore more tight after birth...it just depends on the woman and the birth experience. Healthier birth experiences create different vaginal conditions.
