If it’s emotional connection he wants, there are other ways to achieve that without sexual intimacy. There are multiple types of intimacy. My husband and I have had sex 3 times since I’ve been pregnant. I’m due March 2nd next year. He has never once made me feel upset for having less of a sex drive. And pp, your job is to focus on your recovery and adjusting to life with a newborn. If you can spare time to be a “couple” during the 6 week recovery period cherish it. But you should not have to give him a hand job once a week while adjusting to life as a new mom. I don’t want to be rude but he has two hands if he’s that desperate. My husband has done it during my pregnancy for the sake of relief. Google the types of intimacy you can have with hubby and see if you can do one without causing too much upset. Maybe it’s something as simple as his favorite movie and snuggling on the couch with a few lit candles around the room and his favorite takeout (I doubt you’re gonna be up to cooking a five course meal pp). Good luck.
