My Therapist says Mpreg is ok.

[Dadmom]

So I've actually had two therapists say this, both women, both mothers. Something I want to preface is that I don't think of mpreg as a sexual kink, moreso an Instinctual wish. Both have been very supportive, and pressed even if it was a sexual fetish there is nothing wrong with it. My current therapist even encourages me to wear my prosthetic belly. I used to wear it a lot, but due to an onslaught of gender conformity legislation being introduced,,l I've stopped. But my therapists thinks this shouldn't stop me, because their is nothing wrong with me or wanting to look pregnant. Just thought I'd throw that out there to people. Some good experience in this otherwise unsure time.

I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that from a therapist. I haven't been one to a good number of years (around 2011/12 ish when I did - and it wasn't anything relating to this fetish) and I have to say my experience back then wasn't brilliant. Infact, even after one session she admitted it wasn't the right course of action for me and we parted ways.

Indeed, I don't see Mpreg being 'wrong' as a sexual fetish. I think it's an unusual one for sure, but I don't see anything wrong with it. There's still a large amount of people out there who remain unaccepting for the regular Fpreg/Pregnancy fetish - which I find more difficult to understand. Especially as a heterosexual male. We're all different people at the end of our day and have our own little quirks. I suppose with both therapists being mothers, they'd likely 'get it' or at least have a better general understanding. 

Thanks for telling us about your experience. It's always good to hear of positive experiences like this.

I told a former therapist about my mpreg kink (which is a sexual kink, in my case). This was in the context of discussing navigating a sexual relationship where my partner is turned on by traditional aspects of penetrative sex, and I'm more turned on by my mpreg-related fantasies and use them as a vehicle to orgasm during sex, and to enjoy it. (My partner is aware of this, and though he doesn't understand, it doesn't seem to bother him much.)

My therapist acted totally comfortable with this information. He and I are both partnered gay men, so this may have made sharing such information easier. Nevertheless, during one session, he prompted me to admit that I had fantasized about watching him give birth. He even asked me what position he pushed in in my fantasies, as well as how he looked and acted in labor. It was quite a nice therapy session indeed!

To bring it back to the OP's post, my therapist believed that sexual kinks are pretty much immutable, rather like sexual orientation. We shouldn't seek to change the way our sexual brains work, but instead to channel our fantasies into healthy, mutually pleasing forms of sex for those we're sexual with.

I'm actually seeing a licensed psychiatrist (essentially the type with the MD who can also legally prescribe medications for those who may need them) and my experience with her has been very comfortable so far. She might disagree with the immutability of sexual fantasies a bit, just based on sessions we've had where we've talked about healthy sexual fantasies and when sexual fantasies can become something more maladaptive. I've always heavily identified as asexual and only recently began experiencing any kind of sexual interest and it has been primarily connected to fictional characters and actors and mpreg so I was worried it was perhaps connected to some gender-based issues of my own I have been working through. She's been helping me better appreciate how asexuality and sexuality are spectrums and it's okay if I move around on the spectrum. She also helped me understand the difference between healthy fetishes and the maladaptive ones to watch out for, which largely comes down to evaluating whether they're impairing my ability to live a functional life with them or if they may be encouraging impulses harmful to me or others.

My interest in mpreg does none of that and she feels it's likely a healthy outlet I've found to explore gender issues in a way more removed from myself as well as being a harmless fetish or niche interest. She even seemed to find it interesting herself and we talked a bit about it from a few perspectives which is really what helped me feel more comfortable about doing things like leaving reviews on mpreg fanfics and original stories I had been reading and complimenting artists openly. The entire reason I finally joined this site is thanks to her help really, I've gotten to a place where I want to find people with the same interest and talk about it. Maybe a year or two ago I couldn't have done that. I didn't even search for mpreg content without doing it incognito and I live alone, I was just paranoid someone would be over and see my search history somehow and then ridicule me or something. I still find it easier to enjoy through fictional characters or actors I'm emotionally invested in, I tried adult sites and then end up overwhelmed and backing out. I've always been a creative though, so imaginative fiction and art are easier for me to translate fantasy through than anything else. I'm just glad to have found my doc, she's helped me get to a better place and come out of my shell a bit so I'm glad other people are having some of the same experiences. It's heartening to see so much validation.

I've had multiple counselors who encouraged me to wear my belly and breasts to sessions.

It's really nice because my big pregnant belly is a comfort object, so getting to hold and rub it while I talk about uncomfortable things is good.

Also, being in a room while in drag but the other person treats it like its nothing unusual is really affirming.

I have always wanted to bring mpreg up to a counselor but have always chickened out. I want to explore that side of me more but often. Get too self conscious. Glad to hear some of you have had positive experiences with your therapists

It took me a few years before I worked up the nerve. I had to build up a lot of trust first. I'm glad I finally did but it really is about your comfort level. I was 100% braced for judgment or to be told there was something unhealthy about it but in the end, I left feeling so much more validated after that session. But yeah, it took me a couple years to get to the point where I could do it. It's something I can't even tell my family and friends about offline yet. I always tell myself it's tmi and something they don't need to know about me. Maybe someday I'll feel differently it'd be nice to chat with some of my friends about it but finding places like this gives me an outlet for my interest.

I totally understand the judgement. I tried sharing it with a partner and basically got called strange and insane for wanting to wear my bump around our place. I basically shut down any talks about it and have not talked about it except online here or on discord. I am glad there is this forum to know that I am not alone with my feelings

That's a similar mindset to myself - although I don't have any bump to wear. 

In real life I'm quite a reserved, private person who takes/needs a lot of encouragement to hang out with other people beyond my own family. I've always been that way and I suspect I always will. Whenever I talk about sexual feelings or desires, it's something I very much keep to myself. I've done such a good job of it where I've had work colleagues in the past openly assuming I'm asexual - which isn't true. I'm certain many of them still do. 

The only time I've ever opened up is where I can 'conceal' myself behind a forum and words on a screen. It's places like this which I feel relaxed enough to open up and discuss things with similarly-minded people. I do genuinely feel quite comfortable here. We both can relax in knowing we aren't alone.

Absolutely! I am so thankful for this forum. My only regret was that I didn't come to find this place earlier in my life. Although as a teenager I thought I was some sort of freak to dress up I am glad there are many others that do the same.

I am thankful for all the posts on here showing off their bumps and hope to work up the courage to share my own. Or go out in the wild with it on.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. If I found myself dating a guy who told me that I'd be 100% for it. Then again, so long as anyone I'm with doesn't confess an interest to me that could be potentially dangerous or illegal I've always been open-minded because I realize being with me takes a lot of open-mindedness too. So it's like don't ask me to help you live out your Fast and Furious fantasies and commit grand theft auto irl because then I gotta say no prison orange isn't my color but if you want to wear a bump or play out pregnancy scenarios together or whatever I'm not judging even if it wasn't also very much an interest of mine too basically.

Haha. I understand that. Orange is not my color either so I will not be doing anything illegal just to live out some sort of fantasy. But dressing up with a bump I thought was harmless enough. It's not like I flaunt it out in public (even though I wish I could lol). I hope you are able to keep your supportive partner. I know my life would be different if I had one that supported my bump and dressing with it. But a mutual fantasy or roleplay has always been a dream for me. Hope you are enjoying it.

It's a shame this place wasn't around in my mid-late teens (I'm 38, now) because back then, as I'm sure many of us can relate to, I felt very much 'alone' with these Mpreg thoughts - obviously before the days 'Mpreg' was even a term/'thing'. 

I've said this in other threads before (and no doubt will continue to do so!) but if I had my own place and lived on my own, there is no doubt I'd buy myself a high quality bump. Not to wear out and about, but in and around the house. I do really enjoy the 'Simulation' section myself and have enjoyed contributing to it in the past. Barring the likes of 'Lyric Mpreg' over on Tumblr (which I also very highly rate), I don't think there's any other place online quite like it.
