Woman's climax leading up to ovulation/attempt

[GeCon]

Hi,

I hadn't really thought about that, but have just come across someone's post that made me wonder.

I know we are not supposed to climax when doing the attempt, but what about protected sex leading up to it? Like the week before or a few days prior to ovulation? Would this raise testosterone and should really be avoided or is it okay?

I am not the expert here, so I am not sure at all, but from what I read I think it will raise testosterone.

I was actually thinking about this too today. I don't think it's a good idea the week leading up to O. Not that it's too much fun for us but can you dtd w/a condom without climaxing?

You're not supposed to climax at all because it raises T and also pH (body releases alkaline fluids)

DTD with a spermicide condom might be a sway tactic that some people want to consider tho - we don't talk about this one too much but I do think it might be beneficial for some doing FR.http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...periences.html
