MAMASUTRA

And when a woman is with child in the second trimester, she, full of beauty and lifeblood, may look long upon her husband, and desire congress with him when she awakens, and in the noontime hour, and in the evening after the meal, and again, just before slumber. She may well also dream of continued congress with her husband in imaginative and athletic ways, and compel her husband to awaken from his slumber so that she may enjoy him.

It is written that a husband must rise to grant his wife her pleasures, for God knows when he may get so lucky in coming months.
And the ancient sages upon whose writing are based the wisdom of the Mamma Sutra have decreed the Four Positions, which are to be known as The Four, or the Four Months of Joy.

And these Four positions are as follows:

Spitting of the Melon
The Kama Sutra says: Though a woman is reserved, and keeps her feelings concealed, yet when she gets on the top of a man, she then shows all her love and desire. The Mamma Sutra concurs. The wife, her belly full with child like a melon, can lower herself down onto her husband and control the depth and speed of his cleaving of her. Thus the two lovers can enjoy each other.

When the woman is tired, she should place her forehead on that of her lover, and should thus take rest without disturbing the union of the organs. When the woman has rested herself the man should turn round and begin the congress again.

Downward Dog
Very pleasing to the husband and wife with child is the dog position. The wife, on bed or carpet, presents herself on her hands and knees to her husband. And thus the two lovers can enjoy each other. When congress is finished, husband and wife may enjoy pomegranate juice and recline on fine cushions.

Grape Vine pose
The husband lies on his side and presses himself to his wife, and perhaps wraps one leg around her. The wife lies on her side against her husband and faces outward, toward a pleasant view outside the window, perhaps of the peacocks. This position is very good for early morning congress. The wife may use an ornate pillow to support her growing belly, or between her thighs to better accommodate her husband. And thus the two lovers can enjoy each other.

Prayer Pose
And the wife lies on her back, or bolstered with beautiful cushions, and opens her thighs to accept her husband, and the lovers devise a contortion known only unto them that allows the wife to breath easily while consorting with her husband, who will manage to enjoy her without being obstructed by her growing belly. And the sages have known this position, or some variation thereof, as the Missionary position. And thus the lovers do enjoy themselves.

And the Kama Sutra says:

At the end of congress….the lovers may also sit on the terrace of the palace or house, and enjoy the moonlight, and carry on an agreeable conversation. At this time too, while the woman lies in his lap, with her face towards the moon, the husband should show her the different planets, the morning star, the polar star, and the seven Rishis, or Great Bear. And they should discuss nursery colors. And names. And then they should refrain from enjoying congress again until they’ve had some rest, since tomorrow is a very busy day.
So it is written.

MAMASUTRA - the newborn months

And it is written, lo and the wife has brought forth a great bountiful progeny, and after the child has been anointed and wrapped in bejeweled swaddling clothes, and the celebrations of the household have concluded, MammaSutra will commence.

And the ancient poses include:

Forbidden Touch
And the husband may look lovingly on his wife, with his progeny at her bosom, and he may wish that it were he at the suck, and indeed he might make his wish known, with a sly smile and little joke, only to be given a look that might suggest he forget this fantasy, and find another one. Maybe on the golf channel.

Forbidden Glance
Modest is the new mother, the curves and scent of her body known only to her suckling infant, who seems to mind not those 20 extra pounds, or the unwieldy volume of her breasts, or the fact that she hasn’t brushed her hair since the cockerel crowed yesterday dawn. Yea, verily she averts her eyes from all mirrors, and locks the door at her daily toilet, and indeed, has forbidden even her husband from gazing upon her too closely. “Look at me not!” she will cry in a shrill voice, and perhaps hurl a small object at him, and he will skulk away, pondering the mysteries of womenkind.

Ripe Melons
Wonderous is the wife who nurses her child, for on her chest are two splendid melons that heave marvelously to the heavens whenever she sighs, which is often these days, and leak manna at the merest sound of your offspring, or the cat, or a commercial for long-distance telephone products. Alas, these bountiful fruits are not for you. You may only admire them from afar, because after all, they are for baby.

River Interrupted
And on a fine Sunday morning a wife shall emerge from the shower, fresh-smelling like the lotus, and affix small flowers to her hair to please her husband, who will look upon her and smile, desiring congress with her. And they will embrace closely, and fall on the marital bed and even as they kiss they will hear stirrings from the nursery, but they will heed it not, for they will be consumed with passion for each other. Yet the mewling from the other room will become such that the wife, overcome with guilt, will admonish her husband to remove himself from her embrace, so that she may quiet the screaming fruit of his loins. And he will have to do her bidding, and congress shall again be averted, for lo, so it is written in the Book of Ages.

Corpse
And when the household has been silent for an hour, and the newborn slumbers on ornate pillows, and the servants have been sent away and the peacocks finally silenced, the wife might allow her husband to caress her soft and fragrant feet, and find it pleasing. And she may recline on the bed, and allow her husband to rub her legs, which are tired and fraught with alarming new veins. This will be exceedingly pleasing to the husband. Alas, he must content himself to this touch, for his caresses will cause his wife to fall into a deep, impenetrable sleep, and he will not be able to rise her, although he himself will have risen greatly.

Spring Buds
And many moons will have passed and the husband has kept to himself his thoughts and desires for his wife to himself, and his wife will approach him as he busies himself folding Onesies. And she will tell him his progeny is in the safe hands of his mother and her household. And she will tell him that she slept for six straight hours last night. And lo he will look upon her and see the freshness of her face and notice a pleasing new raiment upon her fertile body. And she will lay a hand upon his chest and look up at him and smile, and the husband will explode with desire at the touch of that one hand, and from that luminous smile, and it will be as the first time when they enjoy congress, except sweeter, and much gentler, for indeed, it’s only just been six weeks.
