I went to a small, socially distanced conference with my research colleagues a few months ago shortly before becoming pregnant with my first child (due mid-March 🥰). I’m 27 years old, and I had been talking with my husband about starting our family for a while. Five days into the eight day conference nothing had happened out of the ordinary, until I started feeling exceptionally horny one night after dinner.

I meandered along the hallway back to my hotel room with my coworker, Shawn, after a late dinner. His room was just down the hall from mine.
“Ohh man, that was a lot of fun.” Shawn said, walking beside me.
“Yeah it was, it’s always so fun to see Dr. Burke with a drink in his hand. And you too.” I said smiling, feeling buzzed from the margaritas.
“Me? Am I some stiff all the time when we’re in the lab?”
“Stiff? Nooo. Focused, more like it. It’s just nice to see you let loose and give your mind a break. I enjoy it.” I flashed a smiled at him, as we approached the door to my room.
