Moms Like Sex Too: The Quickie

So the basic premise here is that Moms like sex just as much as the next gal.*
*Except when they’re too busy.

And there’s the rub. (Or lack thereof.) Because Moms’re always too busy now aren’t they? Which is why Babeland’s Sexy Mama Bloggers (in honor of Mother’s Day) have been asked to tackle this question: When [...]

Moms Like Sex Too: What is a Sex-Positive Family? (And how do I get one?)

Babeland, the family-friendly (or at least not-at-all creepy) sex store on Seattle’s Capitol Hill, is coordinating Sexy Mama Bloggers throughout the month of May. Why? Because what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to celebrate the thing that got most moms in this position in the first place? (If you’re scratching your head and [...]

Girls’ Night Out for Women’s Travel

Well, here’s your chance to find out.
That’s right, folks. Your local “Moms Like Sex Too” columnist will be doing a couple [...]

Moms Like Sex Too: Do You Ever Dread Sex?

So the experts say sex is “good for you.” It’s like “exercise.” It’s “healthy.” Just DO It.
And somehow this is supposed to inspire us to overcome fatigue, ignore the wailing in the nursery, disregard the fact that we haven’t showered in days, and, that’s right grrls, feel SEXY?
Um, my mom told me lima beans were [...]

Moms Like Sex Too: Thank You, Sex

In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought it might be fun to make a list of reasons we can be thankful for sex. Frivolous? Yes. Silly? Absolutely. But after the last couple depressing posts, I figure it’s time to lighten things up. Plus, it’s Turkey Day—and my 36th birthday to boot.
So here goes…

Moms Like Sex Too: The Lovey-Dovey Dope On Sex

Remember what I wrote last week? You know, the mile-long list of how motherhood gets in the way of a perfectly orgasmic sex life? Well, I wasn’t just making that stuff up. Because, look. Here. Even the Wall Street Journal says it’s true. And when WSJ says parents’ sex lives suck, you know they mean [...]

Moms Like Sex Too: Or Do They?

Last week I blogged about one of the hurdles moms have to overcome in the 50-year dash that is a healthy sex life. Namely, Good Mom Baggage. And while that little valise of psychological crap is not a light one (at least not in my experience), it is only one (1) piece of baggage among [...]

Moms Like Sex Too: From Ms. to Mrs. to Mom

Before I married the dreadfully charming Mr. Right, I read a book called Marriage Shock by Dalma Heyn. It’s one of those self-helpy books about how marriage can change women—not just for better, but for worse. It was sobering and not a little distressing, but I thought it important to pull my head from the [...]

Moms Like Sex Too: Let’s Talk about Sex, Ba-by

It used to be that my girlfriends and I talked about the stuff that really mattered in life: sex, love, relationships, sex, anything-NPR, sex, where-to-get-cute-clothes-cheap, relationships, love, and sex. Nowadays, it seems like the most titillating part of the convo has been mislaid (so to speak) in favor of a new hot topic: Kids. In [...]
