How could I explain to my (childless) friend that taking a shower once a week was an exercise in time management gymnastics—and a much higher priority than sex?

Week #25--What I've Learned About Sex After Baby

Week #25--What I've Learned About Sex After Baby

It’s been six months since I’ve started this sex journey. My, my how time flies when you’re trying to raise two kids, work and have sex. Here’s the twenty things I’ve learned about having sex after baby.

Week #24--The New Sexy Lingerie

Week #24--The New Sexy Lingerie

Found some lingerie that I like and want to wear…woohoo! Lingerie Part II I once heard super model Tyra Banks explain she models lingerie differently for men (Maxim magazine), and women (Victoria Secret catalogue). She then demonstrated and it seemed quite subtle watching her move from pose to pose. I wondered if it really did make a difference. That is until I was approached by an on-line lingerie retailer. He generously offered to ship some of his wares. As things didn’t quite work out in Week #10, I thought I’d give the lingerie thing another go. My gut reaction when I went onto the site Sexy Lingerie Shop.com was mixed. I tried to ignore as my stomach clenched looking at the extremely sexy, somewhat risqué clothes. “Well self,” giving myself a pep talk, “It’s time to buck up, be brave and get out of my mommy comfort zone.”

Week #23--No More Ovulation Sex

“Hurry up! I have to leave to catch my plane in an hour,” I said while frantically pulling my husband to the bedroom. Our one-year old was unsupervised for a total of five minutes while we did the deed. Nine months later we got our second son.

Week #22--Erotic Mommy

Week #22--Erotic Mommy

When her husband would walk through the door after a full day of work, she would hand over the kids, go upstairs and transform herself from mother into wife. This, she felt, was the reason she and her husband had an incredibly erotic sex life.

Week #21--Sexless Soccer Mom?

Week #21--Sexless Soccer Mom?

My sexless future flashed before my eyes. Trying to fit sex in while carting kids at least four nights a week; with my husband playing hockey four nights a week; on top of everything else that needs to get done in a week.

Week #19--Finding the G-Spot

Week #19--Finding the G-Spot

Did the Tango III help me find my G-spot? Well, given that my sex life is a rushed “quick the kids are sleeping” 15 to 20 minutes, as well I’m still breast feeding which makes intercourse (for me) uncomfortable. No, not even close.

Week #17--Talking Means Better Sex

Week #17--Talking Means Better Sex

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve said, “Great sex starts with great communication”, well, I’d be retired to the Bahamas by now. I believe most couples do want to have an open, honest and transparent communication with their partner. However, proactive communication is tricky at the best of times. Over the long haul, it gets muddled with couple shorthand, ego landmines and eyes glazing over when certain topics are brought up.

Week #16: Shower Sex Is Way Better!

Week #16: Shower Sex Is Way Better!

Oh shower sex how I love thee. You’re fun, easy, convenient…and quick. Just imagine then ladies and gentlemen—drum roll please—shower sex just got better! Yes, it’s really true. Sport Sheets has come out with an incredible line of shower sex accessories. Thank goodness this challenge was a perfect excuse to try them out.

Week #15: New Mom = No Sex Drive

Week #15: New Mom = No Sex Drive

It makes sense then that many new moms feel they have a low libido and search for a ‘magic pill’ to help get them feeling sexual and sexy. In fact, every year millions of women spend billions of dollars on spurious libido enhancement pills, creams and other unproven treatments.

Week #14--It's Time to Try Porn

Week #14--It's Time to Try Porn

To end the “All-about-my husband’s-Valentine-month-Sexpalooza”, I decided to give him a little porn treat. Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge, is a porn spoof of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s a four disk “collectors” set and has received a lot of positive hype.
