Re: Is this true...kinda personal?
they mentioned this in What to Expect When You're Expecting- said at the end it can induce labor. But I have had no experience with it from what I can tell does....diddly squat LOL

It is true for all points of PG, not just the end, so please be careful.

Re: Is this true...kinda personal?
It is. But, according to my childbirth instructor, who used it.. it's not light stimulation. She actually described it as using lanolin and CRANKING the nipples. She said it gets to the point of having someone do it for you because it can be painful.
So I don't "think" that sexual stimulation can do it. But, I don't know for sure.
ETA: I found this "This is a practice often recommended by midwives when a woman is long past due or when labor is stalled. Nipple stimulation causes the release of oxytocin, the same hormone that causes uterine contractions. Many women report, however, that the contractions produced from this method are much stronger and more painful than natural labor, but are not any more effective. Please note: In order to use this method for induction, you must stimulate the nipples for long periods of time. The usual recommendation is 15 minutes of continual stimulation on each nipple each hour for several hours. So, the amount of stimulation you may experience during intimacy, while nursing an older child, or while pumping your breasts while pregnant will not cause you to go into labor. The general recommendation on these activities is to abstain from them when your condition warrants doctor recommended pelvic rest. Please check with your practitioner before trying this."
These were the instructions I found. "1. Only massage one breast at a time. 2. Grasping the areola, rub in a circular motion until a contraction begins. It's important to mimic the suckling action of a baby. 3. Stop after the contraction begins. 4. Wait 15 minutes, then repeat"
So according to those... I don't think nipple stim from basic sex could do it. And nipple stim of the kind I read about is only to be done under the advice of a doctor or midwife.

Actually, I'm glad you posted it. I was kind of curious myself and you sparked my interest to do some research. 
I hear you on not being the mood. My poor husband.
