One of the most common complaints women and men have about parenthood are the sexual changes. After having a baby, most parents don’t feel like sex feels the same. Though the love is there, many men stop seeing their wives sexually once baby is here. In fact, giving birth is a leading cause of a dead bedroom. One woman we interviewed, Tanya, explained how she got her husband to see her sexually once more. Here’s her fascinating personal story about sex after giving birth.
Have you lost desire for a partner after they became a parent? Tell us your story in the comments below.
Tanya and her husband Henry were elated when they found out they were going to have kids. The two had been trying for years to have their own child and had almost given up. It finally happened, and they were happier than ever. She was pregnant with twins - a dream come true for her.
During the first trimester, sex was off the charts. She had never felt that wanted by her husband. The sex was very intimate, loving and caring. She explained, “I never would have thought that the sex would ever stop.” She really did feel connected to her husband in a unique way.

However, by the second trimester, she began to notice something strange. Her husband’s libido began to taper off the more that her belly began to show. The strange part was that he was still very loving - and almost hyper protective of her during this time. Sex began to slow down significantly.

Though she herself was horny, by the third trimester, her husband wanted very little to do with her on a sexual level. She assumed that it was out of worry of “hurting the baby,” and after having asked a couple of times, decided that it was probably nothing serious. He was still affectionate, after all, but the problem was that it was non sexual affection.
After she gave birth, she had decided to try to give it another go after the classic “6 week wait.” At this point, Tanya just wanted to get some nookie - even though she had just had a kid. Her husband once again refused, saying that it wasn’t the right time. He also said that he wanted her to “heal up” before they did anything.

So, Tanya waited another month and asked again. The answer was still no. She began to realize that something was very, very wrong. She said, “That time he refused me, I just left to my room and began to cry. I didn’t even know what to say to him after that.”

For a while, she had suspected that her husband was having an affair. Tanya recalled searching for evidence of an affair. “I went through his numbers, his phone, and even his computer. Heck, I even hired a private investigator to find something. No dice,” she said. Eventually, she had realized he was faithful…just sexless.
Tanya decided to talk to him about it. It was at this point that Henry dropped the bomb. He explained that seeing his wife pregnant made him stop seeing her in a sexual way. He said, “I just can’t have sex with you. You’re the mother of my child. How can I do that to a mom?”

Tanya asked him if he wanted to divorce, and he said no. He insisted that he loved her, but that his Madonna-Whore complex made it impossible for her to be a sexual being in his eyes. She was crushed, and though he didn’t want to divorce, he also didn’t want to get therapy for it.

Though he didn’t want a divorce, Tanya decided that she was going to leave Henry. But she didn’t tell him. Instead, she continued to raise the kids, started working online, and decided to buy a sex toy to keep herself pleasured in the meanwhile. Henry seemed okay with this, and everything was pretty simple at home.
The problem was that they toy wasn’t enough for Tanya. She ended up doing online cam shows for extra cash using that toy behind Henry’s back. Like most other women, she assumed that her husband wouldn’t be cool with her stripping for other men behind his back. For a while, it seemed okay and hidden.

It all came to light, though, when he had come home from work one day to see her in the living room, mid-show. At first, Tanya said that she panicked and tried to explain everything after shutting off the computer. “I really believed that he was going to end up kicking me and the twins out,” she said.

What ended up happening was totally different. Instead of actually getting angry, Henry grabbed her and took her to the bedroom. “We had the most amazing sex ever,” she said. “It was like flipping a switch.” After that romp in the bedroom, Henry sat down and talked to her about everything.
According to Henry, he realized that she was still sexual after seeing her masturbate for another guy. At that moment, he realized that she was still the same woman that he fell in love with - and that he didn’t want to lose her. Since that moment, Tanya is still using her webcam for shows, but she and her husband also have a very healthy sex life.
That being said, Tanya still has moments where she worries that he’ll forget. However, the two of them are working things out, and sex has “never been better.” Did you ever have a dead bedroom? Tell us how you fixed it in the comments below.
