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.

    The changes. Post kid. Sex and otherwise. All for the better-

    Like you- I had long life of sex and games beginning at an age [15 and this was 30 years ago] and frankly, I would be horrified if my now 4 year old decided to start being active at that age.[She better not! ;-)Although, I think she will be reasonable about it like her papa, and not as needy or desperately seeking something as I was.] After her quick birth, I was ready to resume and we did but then 2 months later our sexual activity came to a screeching halt. I just did not want to, at all!.

    After slinging my child all day, sleeping with her all night and nursing non stop, I had zilch interest. I could not believe it. 2 months with no sex. Or was it 3? This was me?

    Anyways, I have a beautiful husband who is the most reasonable man I know and it was Okay. Sex resumed of course. Now it is less about the antics and the ego if you will, but more relaxed, less pretentious, more intense, passionate and purely about love- which inevitably translates to sublime and perfect pleasure. It is also still incredibly fun though.

    Took a kid to straighten me out!
