Let's Talk About "S. E. X."

Sex.

We've all had it.  (C'mon, we're parents!)  But for some reason sex is awfully hard to talk about.

Before my husband and I had kids, we took sex for granted.  We had 10 years of wedded bliss before those two little tornadoes turned our world upside down, but I wish we'd known to enjoy it a bit more. "Everyone" tells you how much closer your children will bring you and your partner.  We all go into it knowing to expect exhaustion and a bit of a drop off in sex.

"Everyone" forgot to tell me that I wouldn't want my husband to so much as look at me sideways for the entire year I was breastfeeding. There was no mention of (excuse me, any men that may be reading this, you can avert your eyes now) vaginal dryness, an urge with no release, or that little problem with milk squirting all over the place.

Sex is a somewhat forbidden topic of discussion in our society and particularly among parents.  So today, the bloggers at the Silicon Valley, Chicago, D.C. Metro, New York City, New Jersey, 50 Something, and Deep South Moms Blogs are ripping the blind fold off the subject of sex.  Please check out all of our sites  as we update with new posts throughout the day. Maybe we'll all learn what to do with that blindfold we just ripped off....
