Google Literotica and read the stories.

7 weeks is quite a short time, so I would wait a bit longer before worrying about it. You are probably just too tired to even think about it.

my libido has taken a nose dive since DS was born 19months ago....still enjoy it and back to having sex probably 4-5times a week but I have a feeling it will be a long long time if ever that we get back to how we were. I'm just not as bothered anymore, which is depressing

7 weeks is like a blink. It will come back, but it will take time. You're still a bundle of hormones and tiredness!

Erotica, and making sure you are being emotionally and physically supported.

Oh, and I agree 7 weeks is really early days. Don't put pressure on yourself, or allow anyone else to put pressure on you

If you can, try playing sport (squash, tennis, badminton, running, walking) ideally with DH as it will help bonding. You will sleep better and benefit from endorphins

Sorry to butt in but "girlwiththemouseyhair" Seriously..... 4 to 5 times a week, and that's you're low libido!!!! Good god I wish I had a low libido like yours, I'm 2 to 3 times a month!!! What on earth is a normal sex life to you?

Thank you, but 7 weeks is very soon. If you're attracted to your partner, then it'll come back naturally, but I also agree with erotic fiction, it makes for a very interesting read.
