In this article on sex and the pregnant body, the author analyses various texts - pornographic and non-pornographic - that depict the pregnant body as a sexually active body. She explores the cultural reverence for pregnancy and motherhood that exists alongside evidence of the deep fear and desire of the pregnant body. This reverence for motherhood within the context of heteronormativity is hardly ever displaced, even in hard-core pornography using the pregnant body. Indeed, what is evident is how proper sex and motherhood exists on the one hand, in tension with the erotic potential of the pregnant body
