Posting for traffic, NC'd as i really rather not link this issue with my normal name for fear of friends finding out! (Been here since penis beaker, mexican house thief and my personal fave - sistine chapel screamer!)

In a nutshell;
DH and i been together over a decade. Im early 30s, as is he, married and now have a wonderful 10 month old.
Last time we had sex was on his birthday in August 2017.
Yes. Well over a pissing year ago!
When i was around 10 weeks pregnant. Up until i got pregnant we having sex around once a week ish...then i had HG and as i started to progress in my pregnancy, and babys head started to get more engaged, it was a no go.
Then i gave birth last april and we are YET to have sex. Forceps birth with a cut so a couple stitches,all fine and dandy since maybe 6 weeks PP.

Wtf do i do? I do want it. As does he. We both seem to want it at different times. I feel a bit embarrassed of my body still, he loves it though. I cant bear the thought of him touching my breasts as i BFed up until 4 weeks ago. I just cant see my boobs as a sexual place! Baby is still in the cot in our room. I just dont know how and where to start. I feel weird! I feel like a proper mother and i think ive forgotten how to be just me!

HELP!

Say you're having a date night but there will be NO SEX. It's strictly as if you're teens and only kissing and touching on top of clothes is allowed.
NO SEX, remember.

Having the rule that it's forbidden will help a) take the pressure off and b) make it more desirable.

Watching with interest.

Three years or so here. Don’t even know why, it just sort of fizzled out. Very happy relationship in every other way.

We both say we want it, but then neither of us (can?) do anything about it.

@RupaulsGagRace I have two boys, 5 years apart. Different dads- couldn’t wait to do the deed. I remember being really conscious of my figure, yet both said something similar about finding me really sexy knowing and seeing how my body had worked through labour (weird guys- what hot, sweaty and panting?!?!). But I’d try and hide my jelly belly and they’d ask why? And said I’d grown our baby in there. So I do think we panic a bit too much.

So he gives you ‘the look’, we all know those! Just give him a kiss, and make promises for the night. Then maybe have a glass of wine each before you go to bed.

Alcohol, op. Alcohol.

simplysteve the kitchen sink. Facing it, leaning over, him behind. Easy off-the-cuff/quiet moment in middle of day quickie position.
