No way! Someone’s taken exception to sex advice from Olly Mann? Meredith from Framingham, Massachusetts tells him to shove his conception advice right back up into his man-womb:
I am writing because, respectfully, I thought that Olly’s advice to the lady calling in about her and her husband’s problems keeping sex sexy while trying for a baby was very off base.
When it came time for my husband and me to toss the pills and start our family, it took a couple of months to conceive and the process became very, very un-sexy. It was hard to get the end-game out of our minds. We had been programed so long to avoid pregnancy it took some doing to get over that.
What we discovered that we needed wasn’t to make the process more mechanized and route, but rather, more adventuresome and novel. Our solution: we went away together someplace romantic for a weekend, and had a very nice time in and out of the bedroom without thinking of the same old, same old things. This romantic weekend left us both reinvigorated, and while we didn’t conceive that weekend (which was not the point anyway) we did refocus our sex life on fun and removed the
stress and pressure from the situation. This enabled us to continue the sexy vibe upon returning home, and about eleven months later, our son Jackson was born.
My advice to the caller would be to take her partner someplace fun they haven’t been before for a long weekend, someplace with particularly comfortable beds and room service and to not even say the word “baby” the entire time…and see what might occur!
Egad, I officially know too much about the sex life of strangers now.

Sound advice. However, if you are trying NOT to get pregnant, imagine a child called Jackson.

Harsh but true.
