Even though I’m a woman, I will never understand why so many women get off on touching the distended belly of a pregnant woman.

Don’t these nuts realize what they’re really touching? Clothes. Yes, c-l-o-t-h-e-s. Yet they get off on this.

I may sound harsh, but I’m banking that a significant number of pregnant women, who are approached by strangers asking to “feel” their belly, are very uncomfortable with this, but don’t know how to say, “No, you may not touch my belly.”

So they pretend they’re okay with it, when they really feel quite uncomfortable.

It’s a well-documented fact that pregnant women, when in public, experience this all the time–a complete stranger will approach them and touch their belly, sometimes without even asking permission or not waiting long enough for the woman to respond. This is very rude, to say the least.

But it’s also stupid. What’s up with this?

Many expectant women report that when they are out in public among a lot of people, there will always be at least one woman (never a man) who wants to feel their tummy.

  • Do not these strangers have any semblance of a life?
  • Do they not realize that what they’d be touching are clothes? Cotton?
  • Heaven forbid if any of these loonies ever try to slip their hand beneath the clothes to feel the bare skin.
  • But even in that case, it’d be only skin that they were feeling – NOT the womb! Got it, ladies?
  • Or maybe they hope to feel the baby kicking? Big deal, so you felt a stranger’s baby kicking. It’s time to find a hobby that doesn’t involve putting strangers on the spot.

It is plain rude to go around asking pregnant women to feel their bellies unless you are very good friends with them or close relatives.
