Getting in touch with your sensual side after being 'mummy' all day- how?

[wanttomakeadifference]

I want to get back in touch with the sexual side of myself (hope that doesn't found too woo).

I've got this idea in my head that once DC are asleep I need to somehow put aside the 'mummy' side of myself and try to find the more sensual side of myself. The trouble is I don't really know where to start.

I

Does anyone identify with this or have any ideas that might help?

A bath with a good (erotic) book.

Wine?
Steamy book?
Watch the re-runs of the male gymnasts / swimmers / runners at the Olympics?

Highly recommended - Find a new man who has never seen you as mum.

get yourself some sexy lingerie that makes you feel really good, read/watch something erotic..

Kids to bed, bath, small pyjamas on with nice moisturiser and then downstairs to cuddle in front of the tv with a glass of wine. Usually make sure I have bare arms/chest/legs and ask DH to stroke my skiin which I love so it usually leads to more. Ooh, the dizzying heights of passion (not!).

Agree passion is hard when you have young children and you're knackered. dH and I both get ground down with the drudgery of work, childcare, housekeeping etc etc etbloodyc.

I think it's important to both try and make time/effort though because my sex drive is a use-it-or-lose-it kind of animal!

Do you have a partner, OP?

Just thinking the advice will vary depending!

Thank you for the suggestions. I may need to update my book and pj collection!!

Yes I have a partner, DC's dad. I really enjoy sex with him and have found that if I 'go with the flow' I am glad that I didn't decide I was too tired....

I would just like to feel like instigating sex or cuddles more often, and have found that the more 'mummy' like I feel, the less these things even cross my mind.

I should say that I love being a mum, but I have lost some of my 'naughtier' side and I would like to find it again.

Oh well if you have a partner then having a nice warm bath and then getting him to moisturise you is always a good move. You can ask him to do your back and that can feel nice enough to ask for further moisturisation

For dirty stories literotica used to be good (disclaimer I haven't looked at it for a couple of years!)

TBH the thing I find that makes me feel friskier is getting enough sleep!!!

Booze.

I'm not much of a drinker TBH (long story), maybe I should consider a couple of [wine{ in the evenings.
