Ironically, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy#Immunological_tolerance it turns out]] that sex during pregnancy is actually ''recommended'' by doctors to reduce hypertension. However, there are circumstances (such as risk for premature labor) when a doctor might advise a pregnant woman to forgo some or all sexual activities. Additionally, some doctors recommend that a woman refrain from giving oral sex (or at least "[[MassEffect ingesting]]") because of the possibility that certain protein compounds (prostiglandins) in semen may induce labor.

See, and they wouldn't tell you that unless somebody had '''done''' it, that's what bothers me."
* There's a certain indigenous group in the rainforests of South America where women are encouraged to have sex with multiple partners during pregnancy due to the belief semen is necessary to nourish the child. Furthermore, every man she's with during her pregnancy is counted as a "father," meaning that it is in the woman's interest to get as many potential helpers as possible.

Supposedly, someway, somehow, the man's wang could prod the unborn and the pressure could cause permanent damage. The kid could grow up with a misshapen limb, or worse. Not to mention that it sounds like sexual abuse.
