Wife refuses to do ‘doggy style’

Dear Pastor,

I am 31 years old. I am married and my wife is pregnant with our first child. She has become very miserable when it comes to sex.

I spoke to her mother about it because her mother and I have a very good relationship. She acts as our counsellor sometimes. My wife does not like certain sexual positions. She is very fussy. My wife and I practise the missionary position. That is what she enjoys. Now that she is six months pregnant that is not very comfortable, but every position I suggest, she says that she does not like it. I think my wife is turned off from sex for the time being. Her gynaecologist suggested that we could consider that I penetrate her from the back. Whatever I tell her we should do, she always complains and always says we are Christians, not animals. I am trying to cooperate with my wife but she is not cooperating. This is the only problem I have with her.

E.M.
