Ive felt the same way, but to realize that I dont want nor could handle the responsibility ill gladly keep it as a kinky fetish thing. But I do also try to toss some more PG related images because I mean to make it a story for my OC's. Or I claim that at least, only time will tell lol.

Yeah. There’s kinks that are indulged in by the subject matter, like how trans people are present in the audience that like gender transformation smut, but pregnancy? I don’t know. Getting pregnant as a kink thing seems foreign.

I dunno, it's not like TF or vore, which on top of being made specifically as fetishes, aren't even physically possible to do. Pregnancy is a real thing with a totally different purpose. It just feels like something that shouldn't be sexual at all, but all my brain thinks when looking at it is "unga bunga". The fact that it's private (though not that private considering the existence of this account) doesn't matter, I still feel like a creep to moms everywhere.

I feel that, at the end of the day, so long as your not harming anyone it should be ok to enjoy a kink regardless of which portion of it you actually enjoy. You wouldn't be the first and certainly not the last to sexualize something often not regarded as such, and even then pregnancy is something I find is often sexualized by, or found sexually appealing to a decent number of people even if its not outright said. Even if you feel like a creeper sometimes its often not the case, what goes on in your head stays there unless shared or acted upon in a nonconsensual manner.

It's still all just fantasy, and as long as you have a rock-solid foundation of what's fantasy and what isn't, you're good.

Also, the hell do you mean "shouldn't find it attractive"? Signs of fertility is one of the oldest things to be attracted to there is! It's baked into your instincts!!

Well sure, but as far as I can see from various cultures, "signs of fertility" just focuses on bodies having the capacity for pregnancy, and pregnancy itself wasn't subject to any sexualization. I'd love to see examples to the contrary, though.

There's a popular theory that the Venus of Willendorf is supposed to depict a pregnant woman. :)

I guess "creep" isn't the right word, it's more like "asshole". Like I'll read/hear about how demanding pregnancy is and all the complications that can happen and I just think "what kinda insensitive prick finds this hot?" And so I end up thinking that the way we depict pregnancy is an offense to anyone who's ever been pregnant, and I guess I'm looking for "permission" from those people to make the content I do, as stupid as it sounds.

Bleh, I guess in the end it all boils down to me caring too damn much what people think.

Yo I feel you

To be honest, I came to the exact opposite realization over time and I find it freeing: I'm not interested in the wholesome or "realistic" aspect of pregnancy because it has nothing to offer me as a subject by itself, and there's nothing to feel guilty about. It's just a kink, I'm not obligated to be invested in the greater topic of pregnancy beyond how it's relevant to my own life, and it's not my responsibility to justify my interest in it as anything more than a kink.

Frankly I get annoyed that I can't seem to escape the "wholesomeness" in preg kink communities, not all of us have tears in our eyes imagining such a "beautiful moment" of creating a family. Some of us want to focus on how she's become hotter from the pregnancy, how she's enjoying what it does to her body, no other pretenses. Sometimes it feels like preg fetish artists and their audience are "holding back", like they hesitate to go as hard on sexualizing a pregnant woman as any other kind of woman in porn. And it disappoints me. We don't have anything to prove. I've always loved your art because of how shameless it is, there's value in that even if it might not be clear to others.

I'll admit, there was a time where I psychoanalyzed myself trying to get down to the root of why I got turned on by pregnancy, and none of the answers felt applicable to me other than "primal breeding instinct taken to it's extreme, that and I just like the round™️". I get that it feels weird to be into something that people largely treat as non-sexual or at least adjacent to sex, but think about what it means that people either feel disgust toward a pregnant woman's body because it's not "hot" to them, or they treat it as this innocent pure thing that should never be associated with... uh... the thing that made the pregnancy happen in the first place??? People are judgemental of pregnancy while at the same time proclaiming it as sacred, I wouldn't take fickle prudish hypocrites like that seriously if I were you.

I think pregnancy is inherently lewd by what it means and how it comes about, it'll always feel ridiculous to me that normies shy away from sexualizing it or even having the respect to admit that a woman who's pregnant looks sexy. I think you should own your kink and not feel a need to justify or defend it as more than what it is. We're all in an accepting community, that's all we should really be worried about.

Appreciating beauty is nothing to be ashamed of.

I think you are over thinking it.

Thinking about yourself too much tends to lead to anxiety and sadness.

You know I've felt very similar feelings before, and still do sometimes. At the end of the day though, if you aren't actively pestering every pregnant lady you encounter, you're probably fine and enjoying your sexuality in a healthy way.

Anxiety like this can be real rough though, and its very easy to follow the rabbit until you've convinced yourself you're a worthless slime that doesn't deserve to exist. But at the end of the day, it's ok to just enjoy pregnancy in a sexual way. It's ok to not enjoy pregnancy in a realistic way. Draw what you love. This kind of shame helps no one and especially not yourself, as hard as it is to fight it.
