Loss of Interest in Sex After Having Three Children

Dear Dr. Betty,

Ever since my first child was born I lost the interest in sex. I have always loved sex and my husband and I always had amazing sex before I had my daughter but now I just can't get into it. I used to love for him to suck my nipples now I can't stand it and when ever I cum I lose all interest in it. Please help! My daughter is already 3 and I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, so we still have sex. But it's not the same.. it's ruining my marriage..

Self Conscious About How Long It Takes Me to Orgasm

Hi Betty,

I've recently started exploring your site and I want to thank you for creating such an open community. I wasn't raised to talk or even think about sex (not that my parents were strict or very religious--it just wasn't something anyone in my family ever discussed, and my parents are not openly affectionate with each other), and so I feel like I'm a little behind in terms of fully accepting myself as a sexual person who enjoys intimacy. But I'm working on it, I really am, and your site is helping me.

Penetration Hurts & Tears Up My Vagina

Dear Dr. Betty,

I'm 20 years old and started having sex at 16. I'm not sure when exactly it started but I know it didn't happen the first time. Pretty much every single time I have or have tried to have penetrative sex it hurts and/or it tears just below the opening of my vagina. My boyfriend and I have tried more foreplay, lube, different positions etc. It only sometimes changes how bad the issue is not whether or not it happens.

Masturbation Saved Our Marriage

I am now in my early '70s. I now masturbate beside her in bed, in the shower, or at the computer with my large XXX collection.
