Hey guys, it's Marc from Mosie Baby.
Usually, I'm on the other side of the camera filming Maureen but today's video's gonna
be a little bit different.
It's gonna be a trying to conceive video but from a guy's point of view.
But hopefully anyone watching will find something useful here.
And if you do, be sure to hit that "like" button.
Before I get into it, I wanted to quickly share a little bit about our own background.
Maureen and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility after two and a half years of
trying.
We ended up having our daughter through IUI because we couldn't find an at home alternative
that we liked.
So we decided to create Mosie and our second child was conceived at home after a single
cycle with Mosie.
So onto the topic at hand and I'm just gonna say it - trying to conceive sucks.
Don't get me wrong, sex doesn't suck but trying to conceive and sex are not the same thing.
Despite the fact that they both involve getting naked.
Let me explain, sex to most men is a pleasurable experience.
I mean it ends in an orgasm followed by a nap.
What's not to love?
Trying to conceive can be pleasurable too, for the first few months.
But then there's a shift and you might not know what it is at first but you definitely
feel it.
And the longer that conception train rolls along the more pronounced it becomes.
Here's why - once sex for pleasure becomes sex for procreation you're no longer volunteering
for duty.
You're being drafted.
And your mission is to redirect your blood flow and have an orgasm on command.
That's crazy.
"Oh I need to hurry because I have to be back at work in ten minutes", "My Parents are on
the way over", "We're gonna miss our doctors appointment!"
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration but the presumption that men are like dogs
and can just rise to the occasion at the mere mention of sex is a myth.
And I'm here to dispel that myth.
I've got a little secret for you ladies.
We need to be in the mood just like you.
But there are psychological factors for men and women.
Failing is always in the back of your mind, especially if you've been trying for a long
time.
I mean we tried for thirty months, thirty months, we were 0 for 30.
There are so many opportunities for failure.
I mean for men it's obvious, the party can't start without an erect participant and it
can't end without your boys getting from point A to point B.
For women it's less immediate but it's no less subtle.
Women get to take a test confirming said failure a couple weeks later then they get to present
that news to their partner and then they get another reminder in the form of a menstrual
cycle.
But it goes deeper than that I mean men may not be burdened with delivering this news
every month but we do have to receive this news every month and we have to do it in a
way that makes it seem okay for everybody.
And receiving disappointing news every single month, then putting on a happy face isn't
always easy.
Meanwhile everyone in your circle seems to magically be getting pregnant.
And everyone you see on the street is suddenly pushing a stroller.
It sucks.
And what about your normal sex life?
You know, the one that happens on days when you're not trying to conceive.
Well, it's complicated now, I mean how do you engage in something for pleasure that
leaves you feeling frustrated and hopeless month after month.
But there are some things you can do to make trying to conceive suck less.
While it may be difficult communicating openly during this time is the key to not feeling
alone and reinforcing that everyone's on the same team.
And that means being able to have an open dialogue about alternative options like Mosie
as a potential step in your conception journey.
What if you could give yourselves a break from performing every month by using a tool
like Mosie.
Mosie gives you options that sex just doesn't.
I mean yeah you can be intimate if you want with Mosie, you can also be left alone to
do your own thing.
And it can ensure that you don't miss a window if emotions or logistics become complicated.
Oh, and it's perfect for delivering your boys to their destination.
It's kinda like Uber but for sperm.
Look, we all love sex but this is about getting a job done.
I say ditch the stress, communicate openly, and leave the conception to Mosie.
Thanks for listening!
