Ashkenazi. What should be done when the wife is pregnant and it is difficult for her to have relations, and I do not want to come to sin— is it possible through the limbs?

Congratulations on the pregnancy!

There are several ways that can help increase desire despite the natural difficulty that comes with pregnancy:

1. Open communication: An open conversation with your wife about your desires and needs can strengthen the relationship and create mutual commitment.
2. Quality time: Set aside time for bonding activities such as dinners, walks, or simply spending time together at home.
3. Physical touch: Hugs, gentle touch, and other forms of physical closeness can help increase connection and desire—with an emphasis on touch without a specific goal.
4. Lifestyle routine: It’s more complex to detail, but it is very much related.

If you feel the need, you can also consider couples counseling or therapy, which can help you deal with these challenges in a professional way.
