Introduction: to understand the human sexual behavior during pregnancy it is required to assess broadly comprehensive areas such as anatomical, physiological and sociocultural. Objective: to identify the pregnant women´s knowledge about their sexual behavior. Material and method: analytical, prospective, longitudinal research in Hermanos Cruz Outpatient Polyclinic in Pinar del Río Province, between April 2010 and February 2011. The universe was made up of all pregnant women early caught from the basic work groups 1, 2 and 3 (n=218). To choose the sample 21 doctor´s offices were randomly chosen, and from these the first 7 pregnant women caught within the first 13 weeks of pregnancy (n=147). A questionnaire made up by the authors was used in three trimesters. To evaluate the statistical significance the Gamma and Friedman chi-square test was used at 95% of accuracy. Results: the mean age of women was 28.6 years, 46.26% were workers, predominantly with pre-university schooling, primigravida and an average time of 2.8 years of marriage. Median coital frequency was 1 in the first and third quarters, and there is a decrease in the frequency in both quarters, even in these periods perception of desire and arousal decreased, and so did the qualitative assessment of orgasm, by which variations are shown in the various terms (p <0.05). Conclusions: during gestation changes in coital frequency occurred, and so did sexual desire and arousal and orgasm phases of the sexual response.
