Sex after child birth?!
Question:
Sex after child birth?
After giving birth to our son 6 months ago my partner seems to have gone off sex.
She seems very reluctant even to let me see her nude now and when I do persude her to have sex she insists it's with the light off and after about 5 minutes she usually tells me she's had enough and want's me to stop.
Is this normal after a womans given birth? It's upsetting me as I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Answers:
It is quite common for both men and women to have problems with sex after childbirth. It is also quite common for women to not feel that their body is as attractive as it was before they were pregnant. This and fatigue will mean that she fancies sex less.
Stopping intercourse during sex is less common. One reason may be that it is painfull. The only way to resolve this is to talk to your wife about why this is happening and how it is making you feel.
