In the seventh month of her pregnancy, E.J. Dickson found herself with the libido of a teenage boy — including a desire to watch hard-core pornography, the kind of terrifying gang-bangs she’d never seen or sought before. Before her pregnancy, E.J. was a journalist who wrote about sex. Then, mid-pregnancy, she lost her job, reinvented, and became an editor at Romper, a parenting site for millennials. E.J. discusses her new career, her new boobs, pregnant masturbation, and shaming strangers who don’t give her a seat on the subway. Did pregnancy change your masturbation habits? What other life events have altered your libido? Call 646-494-3590 to leave a voice-mail for Sex Lives and host Maureen O’Connor.
