Children are not a hindrance to sex! TOP 5 stereotypes about sex of young parents Very soon I will publish information regarding my new project of psychological support for tired mothers on maternity leave, which starts in April! This is an intense marathon. So, among the specialists of this project, I had the opportunity to meet a sexologist (whose name and contacts will be published as part of the marathon). WE DISCUSSED A LOT, but the same thesis ran through our entire dialogue: “Children are not a hindrance to sex!” And don’t think that if you are young parents, then sex is an unaffordable luxury! After this professional conversation about intimate things, the following list arose, namely the TOP 5 outdated stereotypes about sex of young parents: 1. After the birth of a child, libido will not be the same as before. From a physiological point of view, yes, but only for a few months, and not for everyone. This greatly depends on the skill of adapting to changed conditions and the ability to relieve excessive anxiety and unload one’s psyche.2. After the birth of a child, there will be no time for sex. And then the sexologist surprised me with the fact that intimacy for young parents needs to be PLANNED. Yes, it’s not romantic, but it’s convenient and practical, and thus, in the hustle and bustle of worries, you won’t forget about each other, as a man and a woman. In general, put the child to bed - and take care of each other. Get a massage or ask your spouse about it, wear beautiful lingerie, use various cosmetics.3. After the birth of a child, a woman becomes less attractive. Without proper care, a woman will be less beautiful than she could be even without childbirth. And with the advent of a child, and even with self-love, a woman blossoms, opens up like a flower.4. After the birth of a child, there will be no orgasms. And again, this is not always associated with the birth of a baby. Lack of pleasure from sex is both a psychological and physiological problem, and also a mixed one. There is a reason! And having found it (better together with a specialist), you can also find a solution and stop engaging in sexual sacrifice, that is, stop sacrificing your pleasure by having sex simply for the sake of your husband’s orgasm.5. After the birth of a child, a man is afraid of sex. This is often feared during partner childbirth. Well, there is an answer here too. This problem, or more precisely, this stereotype is associated with the couple’s low awareness. Men need a base for their confidence and control over the situation, and knowledge gives them this. It is necessary to collect more information and make a partnership decision, for example, regarding the presence of the father at the birth. In this regard, you can contact a psychologist and prepare much more thoroughly so that there are no unpleasant surprises in the future. If we talk about other postpartum fears of men, they are most often associated with the fact that at first there is no cohesion in the family - there is a mother and a child, and separately - a father who does not understand where to run and what to do. We need to try to be united, to be together, and this is the mother’s task, and then it will not be so scary for all family members! It was very productive! But that's something else! At the marathon we will talk in more detail about this and more, so wait for the information, it will be... Love to everyone! Always yours, Nadezhda ❤#psychology
