Eheheheeee, Penis!
May 21, 2009
Hey You,
I lied down on the bed with Mr Man last night to explain what Dr. C. explained to me. As I was showing the ultra sound image and the little womb and uterus drawings to Mr. Man, his head sunk into the pillow, almost hiding his face.
“What’s up?!”
“Nothing, keep going!”
So I kept rattling off what Dr. C. told me. Then I pointed at the drawing of the uterus and explained to him about having a proper internal vaginal scan rather than just a pap smear. I pointed to him where the penis reaches during sex and he sunk down lower and had a shy smile on his face and was just about to break out in laughter.
Oh god, was I dealing with a teenage boy stuck in man’s body?!
Then I proceeded to explain to him about the importance of having sex often during the fertile period of my cycle. Holding off sex until ovulation (which you will never really know when it actually happens unless you closely track it) doesn’t work as the sperm that happens to be at the front of the line would have become way too weak to swim fast enough to reach the egg. So it was recommended that we have sex at least every 2 days in the fertile period.
Watching Mr Man squirm when I told him about the whole process made me laugh too! The moment I used words like “penis” and “sperm” he will giggle and then it would eventually breakout into laughter. How can this baby making process become more of an adult act??
This will certainly be an interesting journey indeed!
