Jessica Walsh is coming up on a two-year anniversary, but she's not celebrating. It's been nearly two years since she and her husband last had sex, since before their only child was born. I still don't find I have much of a libido. I still really prefer sleep. It's not surprising that a couple's sex life is affected by having kids — after all, discussions about bowel movements combined with intense sleep deprivation don't exactly make for a feel-good time. Not to mention the physical recovery that goes along with major abdominal surgery or pushing a watermelon from your loins. For some couples, sex can become almost, if not entirely, nonexistent once baby arrives.

They think I’m ridiculous.

Remember your weekends pre-kids, when you rolled around in the sheets before brunch? Remember brunch? You can get your sex life back. These parents did. The darling little angels are finally asleep, so you start unloading the dryer, replying to emails, and putting away the toys. So how do you stop and switch this routine for a sexier one? Let us share the ways.
Is it once a month? Once every three months perhaps?
Many parents of young children are in the exact same boat. I mean, really, your biggest priority in life is to care for your children. You need to work to provide for your children — feed them, cloth them, entertain them and make sure you give them ample opportunities to grow and evolve as little humans. Then, on top of that, you want to maintain a shred of the life that you once used to have: be it going out with your buddies, or enjoying a movie night, perhaps a yoga class or going for a jog with the stroller.
Parental myths linked to sex are easily spread and internalized. And those lucky enough to find time for coitus will experience constant interruptus, leading to resentment, tears, and generally sad times. But, while some wisdom might be popular, it commonly lacks veracity. These are the myths about parental sex that should be put on the shelf for good. In fact, those feelings of connection are less about sex and more about eroticism. Psychotherapist Esther Perel , one of the foremost experts on the dynamics of human relationships, notes that eroticism is about novelty, curiosity, touch, and playfulness. She notes that when couples begin to address each other with the same thoughtfulness, interest, and novelty they typically direct to their kids, attitudes begin to change.
