Comments on: Moms Like Sex Too: From Ms. to Mrs. to Mom http://seattlemomblogs.com/2007/11/moms-like-sex-too-from-ms-to-mrs-to-mom/ A Community for Blogging Mothers in Greater Seattle and the East Side Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:16:18 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Daring One http://seattlemomblogs.com/2007/11/moms-like-sex-too-from-ms-to-mrs-to-mom/comment-page-1/#comment-621 Daring One Sat, 03 Nov 2007 19:44:57 +0000 http://www.seattlemomblogs.com/2007/11/02/moms-like-sex-too-from-ms-to-mrs-to-mom/#comment-621 This really rings true for me, even as someone who did not have sex before marriage. I felt sexier before I was even sexually active, before I was the mother to my children. I was somewhat mysterious and desireable before we were brushing our teeth together and discussing finances.

We actually just talked about this yesterday at my moms' group. Most of us have really little ones, so just looked confused at the whole thought of sex. It's so important to stay close to our husbands, but so hard to find the energy/motivation/courage to remove clothing and display post-pregnancy body! Looking forward to your future posts on this topic. And I laughed out loud at the comment from Bananas. I just finished pumping and made my husband avert his eyes when he walked in the room. Pumping is unattractive on so many levels. Good post, thanks. We actually just talked about this yesterday at my moms’ group.

That's an even trade, don't you think? Great post! I’ll check my mom hat if he checks his work hat. That’s an even trade, don’t you think?

Great post!

And don't even get me STARTED on what giving birth does to the used-to-be-sexy-and-mysterious body parts. 1) boobs: start leaking fluid. then there's the most unsexiest appliance known to woman kind: the BREAST PUMP. 2) hoo-ha: large slimy infant and more fluids come shooting out. Ripping. Stitching. PAIN. 3) skin: stretch marks. 4) hair: unexpected WIRY ones show up in new and revolting places. 5) eyes: bags under and it goes on and on. These new changes that motherhood brings are NOT SEXY! There's no way around it. Then there's the sleeplessness. The hormones. The stress. The endless line of diapers and spit-up. The "isn't it YOUR turn to get up?!" It's no WONDER we don't feel sexy!! And, from my vast experience, not feeling sexy becomes a habit. Even when our body shrinks and stops emitting fluids and mostly gets back to normal, we've lost the vibe. Our mojo is gone. Help us Janna!!! It is so true.
