Month 5 and 6: My Inner Voyeur has Reemerged

As a sex coach, I have started to see clients in my home office and the phrase "Have you given yourself permission to be sexual" crosses my lips daily. I should really heed my own advice as I have taken that permission away from myself in the past months. When I was ready to become a sexual being again postpartum, I was intent on not losing myself in baby and ignoring my sexual relationship with my husband.

I found myself getting my intimacy and sensuality needs met by my baby and had to make a conscious decision to not abandon the intimacy in my relationship. It is hard work and I am exhausted all the time but i know my investment now will pay off later.

Sex, and Intimacy, and BS, Oh My

The above link was recently posted on Salon.  It was written by a single 50 year old woman who had a casual sexual arrangement with an old friend.   I wanted to share this article because I could identify with the writer's concerns, but up to a point.  Now, don't mistake my italicized statement as a vehement disagreement with what the article said.  It isn't for me to agree or disagree with another's personal story.  I greatly appreciate her willingness to talk about sex, especially considering where the story was posted and the 'demographics' of some Salon readers (some of these demographics are highlighted in the comments).

Eric believes that for the majority of people, appreciation for our partners through shared affectionate touch and great sex is one of the best sustainable resources there is to continuously renew love, connection, and attraction between partners, spouses, and the relationship to one's sexual self. It's what makes the hard times not nearly as divisive as they could be. It makes partners into lovers, not distant roommates. It creates real confidence, not imagined, and makes us feel alive and vital.
