Sexual healing

I used to relish the challenge of being good in bed. I read the Kama Sutra with steely discipline, confident there wasn't a skill I couldn't master. Then I had a baby.

I liked the story, but. . .

I'm a mom. This story made me chuckle. I think the author had a lot of courage writing this, in part because she can expect an avalanche of letters from the usual suspects with these messages:

-- "I hate breeders and their mini-vans and their strollers and their snotty kids!! Why must Salon FORCE us to read about them and their travails?"

-- "Stay-at-home mothers are scum. Working mothers are scum. They should all be in jail or somewhere out of my sight, along with their spawn, which are nothing but an annoying hobby, after all."

-- "I'm a pert young thing; why do I have to read about parenthood? It's soooo boring, and it's just such a drag to spend my time reading these articles and then writing letters saying how boring they are."

-- "I despise all women. How come they don't love me?"
