Listen up, friends! If I come across one more article claiming that moms are too exhausted for sex, I might just lose it. Sure, I have two little ones at home, and yes, I’m tired—just like everyone else. But let me tell you, as a mom, I still absolutely love sex!
Is it tough to juggle exhaustion and intimacy? Definitely. Do I sometimes feel overwhelmed? You bet. But that doesn’t mean my sexual side has disappeared. In fact, carving out time for sex actually boosts my energy and improves my mood.
I know libido can fluctuate, and there are days when the mood just isn’t there, which is perfectly okay. Medical issues can also play a role in making sex uncomfortable or painful. But if you’re looking to reignite your passion, here are some helpful tips:
- Communicate Your Needs: It’s time to stop focusing solely on your partner’s pleasure. Yes, I love sex too, but I’m here to enjoy it as much as he does. Confidence is key! Make sure to voice what you want in the bedroom; it can really enhance the experience for both of you.
- Own Your Body: Let’s face it—our bodies may not look the same post-kids, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less beautiful. If your partner is worth their salt, they’ll appreciate you for who you are, not just for how you look. If it helps, dim the lights and remember: confidence is incredibly sexy.
- Find Time: Let’s be real—making time for intimacy as a parent is a challenge. We all know that women often need more time to get in the mood, and with all the responsibilities we juggle, it’s easy to feel mentally drained. One trick my partner and I use is setting a timer for the middle of the night to wake up feeling a bit more rested. You can also consider waking up a little earlier for some quiet time together.
- Get Creative: It’s not always easy to find those precious moments for sex once you have kids. If you have a babysitter or family member who can watch the kids, take advantage of that. Some couples even find time during school hours. Whatever works for you, make it happen. Our relationship thrives when we both feel fulfilled in every way.
Moms are incredible at prioritizing everyone else’s needs, but that doesn’t mean we should overlook our own desires. We can love our families and still nurture a satisfying sex life. Plus, keeping that spark alive can only strengthen your partnership!
For those interested in starting or expanding their family, check out the fantastic resources from Make a Mom and their at-home insemination options. They even offer a reusable option, the Cryobaby Kit, which has great features for convenience. Or consider the Impregnator Kit for an authority-approved choice. If you’re looking for more information about pregnancy and insemination, the NHS has some excellent resources.
In summary, moms can have an active and fulfilling sex life—it just takes a little effort, creativity, and some confidence!
