How long without sex
Show your support
Are you EBF? I heard that can contribute to low sex drive. I am and my libido is lost in space somewhere. I’m 5 mo PP and we have only had sex once since baby was born. I did have a really slow recovery down there( took around 3.5 months) then after that, soooo tired, no sex drive, no intimate feelings, nothing. You’re not alone! As long as you’re communicating with your partner then I think time will help bring the sex drive back and regulate your body again. Give yourself some grace!
I think fit was be good to have this chat with your partner and air things out, let him know how you are feeling, maybe there are things both of you could work on together to come closer. I also EBF and I’m not sure if you are but this contributes to low sex drive. This has only resolved recently as my little one turns 10mos. Your hormones are all over the place for up to a year after have a baby, give yourself grace. Maybe place yourself out of your comfort zone and also try date nights and planning something romantic for one another. It doesn’t have to be forced but sometimes we need to try new things and see how it works for us.
Read “how to not let kids ruin your sex life” it really helped me understand sex and love language more. It’s also not about just having more sex, it’s about communicating with your partner and being on the same page when it comes to any form of intimacy
@Chloé Collier thank you so much I absolutely will read this!
I'd recommend couples counseling, date nights (even just at home after baby goes to bed), and lots and lots of communication. I think after a long dry spell it can feel a bit forced and awkward, but acknowledging it could take some of the pressure off.
