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.

    From a ho to a real woman- congratulations?

    I'm wondering why we're supposed to cheer for a woman who went from having sex simply to be good at it to a woman who has sex -shock- because she wants to. The author pretty much admitted for years she had sex mostly just to prove that she was good in bed, to boost her ego. It took a baby to make her realize sex should (at least partially) be for HER pleasure? Not just a competition, or something you can brag about to your friends?

    Bravo.

    It seems a little juvenille to me, like celebrating the fact that food can be delicious, as well as nutrious. Uh, duh.

    —Heather
